VAUXHALL Antara 2010-2015 Photos, engines & full specs

After five years on the market and successfully emerging from the world financial crisis, the Antara received a well-deserved facelift along with upgraded engines.

The Antara was built on a platform developed by GM Korea, and it was so good that it became a world car. It was sold in Australia, the U.S., Africa, and Europe. In the UK market, it was sold under the Vauxhall badge, like all the European Opels from those times.

The refreshed vehicle sported a more angular look with new angular headlights. They contrasted with the upper grille's shape, which was rounded. Yet, the front fascia looked good for those times. The Antara sported a pair of foglights surrounded by chromed trims on the lower bumper. A new set of turn signals found their way onto the door mirrors. In addition, there was a new design for the taillights in the rear and repositioned reversing lights.

Inside, the Antara offered five seats as standard, and the carmaker noticed that customers were not very excited about the seven-seat version, so it dropped it. However, it focused on the dashboard, which featured a new dashboard design, with lines carried over from its compact sibling, the Astra. Moreover, a new infotainment unit with a screen placed atop the center stack made its way into the Antara options list.

Under the hood, Vauxhall installed only Euro5 engines, which have been mandatory since 2009. They offered a 10 percent increase in displacement compared to the non-facelifted version and enough power to move the all-wheel drive vehicle around.
