Vauxhall's Antara has had a mid-life crisis, er i mean facelift. The SUV gets a new look ready for sale next month and it's nearly £3k cheaper than the previous model with prices starting around £19,995 for a 2.2 CDTi model.
So what's new with the Antara?
The grille has lost the pronounced Vauxhall V shape and been replaced with a more subtle straight front grille which displays the new Griffin logo. The fog lights are now chrome finished and new 19" alloys have been added as standard on the SE models, Hill assist and an electric parking brake are new too.
Keen on being green
In compliance with the Euro-5 standards the line-up offers reduced fuel consumption and emissions, better performance and the newly added 2.2 CDTI turbodiesel to the range uses variable camshaft phasing to optimise torque and performance while reducing fuel consumption and emissions.
An Antara 2.2. CDTI turbodiesel is added to the range
The turbodiesel comes in two variants, the 163ps is available in FWD with a six-speed transmission or AWD mated to a manual or six-speed auto gearbox.
The AWD is standard on the 184PS is available in manual or auto.
Auto adaptable to your environment
The chassis has been reworked so the Antara can switch automatically to it's environment only using front wheel drive in a normal driving environment in order to save fuel. In slippery conditions it switches to 4WD for optimum traction.
Vauxhall have updated the interior by enhancing the graphics and lighting, and provided extra storage.
