The Opel Vectra B, produced from 1995 to 2002, represented a significant step forward for the German automaker. This second-generation Vectra, built on the GM2900 platform, offered a range of engine options, including petrol and diesel variants, and was available in various body styles, from the standard saloon and hatchback to the more practical station wagon and even a sporty coupe. The Vectra B was designed to be a more modern and refined car compared to its predecessor. Its sleek and aerodynamic design, featuring a distinctive grille and rounded headlamps, was a departure from the angular styling of the Vectra A. The interior, while not opulent, was well-appointed and offered ample space for passengers and luggage. Notable features included advanced safety systems for the time, such as ABS, electronic brakeforce distribution (EBD), and driver and passenger airbags. The Vectra B proved to be a popular choice in Europe, gaining a reputation for reliability and value for money. Its range of petrol and diesel engines offered a balance of performance and fuel efficiency, catering to a variety of driving needs. However, the Vectra B also faced some criticisms, particularly regarding its handling, which was deemed less engaging compared to rivals. Despite this, the Vectra B remained a strong seller for Opel, contributing to the brand's success in the European market. The Vectra B’s legacy remains as a capable and practical family car that provided reliable transportation for millions of drivers across Europe. Its influence can still be seen in the design and features of subsequent Opel models, highlighting the impact it had on the brand's strategy and evolution.
