Like on its previous two generations, the Vectra saga’s third and last sequel was available in three body shapes, with the GTS version as the sportiest-shaped one.
Opel was highly appreciated on the European market, and the Vectra was one of its best-selling products. It was available in three body shapes on its previous two generations: a sedan, a station wagon, and a hatchback (more of a fastback). The new platform provided more comfort thanks to its new independent rear suspension.

The exterior featured a new design trend for its headlights, with a rectangular, swept-back look and a pair of headlamps inside. Its grille sported a horizontal slat and the round badge on it. In the liftback version, the Vectra featured a longer rear window and, as you guessed, a liftgate. The GTS shape was the most aerodynamic among its siblings.

Inside, the cabin featured front bolstered seats, made for the European wingding roads, and soft enough for long travels. In the back, the manufacturer installed a bench with a 60/40 split-folding system, which could expand the trunk from 500 liters (17.6 cu-ft) to 1360 liters (48 cu-ft).

Opel offered a wide choice of engines under the hood ranged from four-mill 1.8-liter gasoline to a 3.2-liter V-6. Since turbo-diesel engines attracted European customers, the carmaker installed four oil burners, ranging between 120 hp and 177 hp.
