Opel prepared itself for the Euro 4 Emission standards and introduced a facelift for Vectra's second generation in 2005 for the entire range.

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 introduced the hatchback version for the Vectra's second generation in 1996 and facelifted it in 1999 when it added minor changes to the bodywork.

Opel launched the Vectra hatchback at the same time as its three-box sedan sibling at the 1995 Frankfurt Motorshow.

Opel, the German branch of GM, facelifted the first generation of the Vectra in 1992, four years after the model's introduction on the European market.

Opel introduced the Vectra lineup in 1988 as a sedan and a station wagon, followed by the liftback version in the spring of 1989.
