The second generation of Frontera Wagons was the result of both aesthetic and functional improvements.
Far from having undergone a conspicuous and cheap make-over, the Wagon was released with a completely new body work and an extended range of engines which were all fitted with 4-valve cylinder heads for increased power output and fuel efficiency. Equipment levels were raised and the previous larger Diesel power units were replaced by a smaller 2.2 version. The gasoline lot received a 3.2 V6 engine that was coupled with a choice of manual/automatic transmissions. Particularly rugged, the V6 developed 205 hp and 290 Nm of maximum torque.
