The Opel Vectra, produced from 1988 to 1995, marked a significant shift for the German automaker, introducing a new era of mid-size family cars. This first generation Vectra, internally designated as the "A-model," significantly deviated from its predecessor, the Opel Ascona, boasting a more modern and aerodynamic design. Available in various body styles including a four-door saloon, a five-door hatchback, and a three-door hatchback, the Vectra offered a spacious and comfortable interior, prioritizing passenger comfort and practicality.

Powertrain options ranged from petrol engines like the 1.6-liter and 2.0-liter units to the more powerful 2.0-liter 16v and a 2.5-liter V6. A 1.7-liter diesel engine was also available for fuel-conscious drivers. The Vectra's handling was praised for its balance between comfort and agility, making it a versatile car for both everyday commutes and longer journeys. The first generation Vectra proved to be a successful model for Opel, achieving strong sales figures and solidifying its position in the competitive European market. This success paved the way for the development of subsequent Vectra generations, each building upon the foundation laid by the original A-model.
