2011 Opel Antara

The 135 kW/184 hp version offers 34 hp more power. The 120 kW/163 hp offers 36 hp more than its predecessor model. The latest entry to the engine range is a newly-developed 2.2 CDTI Turbo diesel, which comes with two outputs. Even the two available transmissions - a six-gear manual and automatic - have undergone completely new developments to improve efficiency and dynamics. The fully re-worked engine line-up, all Euro-5 compliant, now offers improved driving performance as well as significantly reduced consumption and emissions. The most notable changes in the Opel Antara's mid-cycle enhancements, which will be introduced at the end of 2010, are in the powertrain. With improvements to its powertrain line-up, exterior styling and interior comfort, the Opel Antara can now be seen as a new competitor in the growing SUV segment. The new Opel Antara pairs sporty, off-road capabilities and urban-chic looks with high functionality and safety.

Naturally an active, re-worked chassis fits nicely to the new Antara, offering dynamic handling and excellent traveling comfort. The engine variants come with variable camshaft phasing for the inlet and exhaust, which optimizes the torque and performance characteristics as well as lowers fuel consumption and emissions. Like the diesel variants, this engine is available in front-wheel or all-wheel drive and comes as manual or automatic six-gear transmission. The 2.4 liter, four-cylinder version now comes with 125 kW/170 hp, or, 30 hp more power. The gasoline line-up, too, offers more power. The 184 hp also offers a choice of manual or automatic transmissions, and comes with all-wheel drive as standard. The 163 hp variant is available in front-wheel or all-wheel drive as well as with manual or automatic six-gear transmissions.

With these changes, the market segment of the compact SUV has a new competitor in the ring. This includes a standard electric parking brake and the Hill Assist System. Opel has improved safety and comfort features in the Opel Antara as well. An optimized instrument graphic and effective interior lighting underscore the prestigious ambiance.

The chic, sporty SUV look comes about from a new center console with extra storage solutions, new materials and added interior and exterior colors. Modified rear lights and optional 19-inch light-metal wheels round out the robust look. The fog lights together with chrome bezels and a well-blended pedestrian protection lends the vehicle a harmonious look with a strong presence. Its new, front grill with bold logo makes it immediately recognizable as a member of the new Opel design family. On the street, the Opel Antara turns heads with its chic, upscale look.
