The Opel Vectra B, produced from 1995 to 2002, was the second generation of the Opel Vectra model line, succeeding the original Vectra A. This mid-size car, available in sedan, station wagon (Caravan), and hatchback (GTS) body styles, marked a significant step forward for Opel in terms of design, technology, and overall refinement. It featured a modern and aerodynamic body, a spacious and comfortable interior, and a range of efficient and powerful petrol and diesel engines. The Vectra B introduced numerous innovations, including a sophisticated multi-link rear suspension for improved handling and ride comfort, advanced safety features like ABS and ESP, and optional equipment like climate control, cruise control, and a CD player. The Opel Vectra B was a popular choice in Europe, particularly in Germany, where it was known for its practicality, reliability, and value for money. It was also offered in several other markets, including the United Kingdom, France, and Italy. The Vectra B's success contributed to Opel's growth and established the model as a strong competitor in the mid-size car segment. However, the introduction of the next generation Vectra C in 2002 signaled the end of the Vectra B's production run. Despite its age, the Vectra B remains a well-respected car that continues to be popular among used car buyers, particularly due to its robust construction, proven reliability, and relatively low running costs.
