The Opel Vectra, introduced in 1988, was a compact executive car produced by German automaker Opel. It marked a significant shift for the brand, aiming to compete directly with established players like the Ford Mondeo and Volkswagen Passat in the burgeoning European mid-size car segment. The first generation Vectra, spanning from 1988 to 1995, was available in a range of body styles including a 4-door saloon, 5-door hatchback, and a 5-door estate. The Vectra was praised for its spacious and comfortable interior, relatively refined driving experience, and impressive fuel efficiency. It also offered a wide variety of engine options, ranging from frugal 1.4-liter gasoline units to powerful 2.0-liter turbocharged diesels, catering to various driving needs. The Vectra's robust construction and reliable engineering made it popular among both private buyers and fleet operators.

Despite being a relatively successful model, the first-generation Vectra faced some criticism for its slightly dated styling and lack of advanced safety features compared to its rivals. However, its overall practicality, combined with its strong reputation for reliability, made it a popular choice for families and businesses alike. The Vectra also enjoyed success in motorsport, particularly in touring car racing, where it achieved notable victories and became a symbol of Opel's engineering prowess. Overall, the 1988-1995 Opel Vectra, though perhaps not a revolutionary car, cemented Opel's position as a serious contender in the European market and paved the way for its later, more modern iterations.
