The Opel Monterey was built from March 1992 to April 1999 and shared its shape with the Isuzu Trooper II. Opel's sister company Vauxhall offered the Monterey in Great Britain .

Like the Opel Frontera , the Monterey was offered as a three-door RS version and a five-door long version. It received a facelift in July 1998, in which the front was made a little friendlier and rounder and the engine range was revised. In addition, the Monterey received a new dashboard and an upgraded interior.

Before this revision, a 3.1-liter four-cylinder pre-chamber diesel engine with turbocharging and intercooler with 84 kW (114 hp) and a 3.2-liter V6 gasoline engine with 130 kW (177 hp) were available In 1998 they were replaced by a 3.0-liter common rail direct-injection turbodiesel with 117 kW (159 hp) or a 3.5-liter V6 petrol engine with 158 kW (215 hp). All-wheel drive and off-road reduction are standard equipment on the Monterey. However , there is no differential lock.

In April 1999, Opel stopped importing the Monterey. From January 2000 Isuzu took over the distribution of the Isuzu Trooper in Germany again.
