Opel Antara
The Opel Antara is a compact crossover SUV which was marketed by Opel from 2006 to 2015. Based on the Theta platform, the Antara closely shared its underpinnings and powertrains with the Chevrolet Captiva. Unlike the Captiva, it is only offered with five seats instead of seven, and features a different exterior and interior design. Sales commenced in November 2006, as the indirect successor to the Isuzu-based Frontera range.
In the United Kingdom, the car was sold as the Vauxhall Antara; in Australasia, the car was badged as the Holden Captiva 5/Captiva MaXX; and in the United States and Canada, it had been sold as the Saturn Vue. The Antara was marketed as the GMC Terrain in the Middle East, Daewoo Winstorm MaXX in South Korea, and as the Chevrolet Captiva Sport in the Americas except Chile, where it was sold as an Opel.
The Antara was first previewed by the three door Opel Antara GTC (Gran Turismo Crossover) concept car, presented at the 2005 Frankfurt Motor Show. The Antara GTC is based on the three-door Chevrolet T2X SUV. A similar three-door SUV was later displayed at the 2006 New York International Auto Show as the Saturn PreVue.
The production Antara was a longer five-door SUV, similar to the Chevrolet S3X and the closely related Chevrolet Captiva.
In November 2010, a facelift was announced. The front end was revised, and both front and rear lights were refreshed. The new Opel badge also appear on the Opel Antara, respectively. On the inside, there was a revised centre console with more storage space and materials, improved instrument graphics and interior lighting.
An electric parking brake, a hill assistance system, and a "shift up" indicator to optimise fuel economy in manual-transmission versions were all now standard. Introduced with the facelift was a new, Euro 5 compliant 2.2-litre diesel engine which replaced the previous 2.0-litre, and an updated version of the 2.4-litre petrol.
Production ended in March 2015; its indirect successor was the Grandland X, which was launched in September 2017.
General Motors in the United States and Canada introduced the Opel Antara as part of the Saturn division under the name "Saturn Vue" in 2007 for the 2008 model year. Saturn had earlier previewed the design at the April 2006 New York International Auto Show as the "Saturn PreVue" concept, and again in production guise at the 2007 Greater Los Angeles Auto Show, held from November to December 2006.
