The Opel Vectra C, produced from 2002 to 2009, represents the third generation of the popular mid-size car model from the German automaker Opel. It was a major departure from its predecessor, the Vectra B, featuring a sleeker and more modern design, a wider range of engine options, and significantly improved interior quality and features. The Vectra C was built on a new platform, known as the GM Epsilon platform, which was also shared with other models like the Saab 9-3 and the Chevrolet Malibu. This platform underpinned a structurally rigid chassis, contributing to the Vectra C's handling prowess and overall driving experience. The Vectra C was available in various body styles including a four-door sedan, a five-door hatchback known as the "Vectra GTS", and a station wagon called the "Vectra Caravan". Engine options ranged from economical petrol and diesel units to powerful turbocharged variants, providing a choice for a variety of driving preferences. The Vectra C featured a comprehensive package of safety features, including standard dual front airbags, side airbags, and curtain airbags, along with ABS, traction control, and electronic stability control. It was praised for its spacious interior, comfortable ride, and high levels of refinement. However, some critics pointed out the Vectra C's relatively high price compared to rivals and its sometimes-uninspired styling. Nevertheless, the Vectra C remained a popular choice in the European market, particularly for its blend of practicality, comfort, and performance.
