The Opel Antara is a compact SUV from the German automaker Opel. The Antara, based on the Theta platform, shares its underpinnings and powertrains with the Chevrolet Captiva. However, it has a different exterior and interior design, along with different exterior dimensions. In the United Kingdom, the car is sold as the Vauxhall Antara. In Australasia the car is badged as the Holden Captiva, and in the United States and Canada it has been sold as the Saturn Vue. The Antara went by the name GMC Terrain in the Middle East,[2] Daewoo Winstorm MaXX in South Korea, and as the Chevrolet Captiva Sport in the Americas. 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 five-seater Chevrolet T2X concept. A similar two-door concept was later displayed at the January 2006 New York International Auto Show as the Saturn PreVue. The production Antara is a longer four-door seven-seater vehicle, similar to the Chevrolet S3X and the closely related Chevrolet Captiva. n 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 is 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 are all now standard. Introduced with the 2011 facelift is a new, Euro 5 compliant 2.2-litre diesel engine to replace the previous 2.0-litre and updated version of 2.4-litre petrol.
