Features Opel Antara
The new configuration of Antara wins by no means due to facelift and interior upgrades. The main bet was made on gamma correction power units in the Antara Gasoline Engine and Opel Antara Diesel Engine categories, which, according to Adam Opel AG experts, should increase the popularity of this car. And it looks like they succeeded.
Opel Antara specifications. Motors and transmission.
The gasoline range of engines of the new Opel Antara is represented by power plants from the ECOTEC family. Gamma Opel Antara (diesel) also consists of two turbine units. Briefly about each:
Gas line.
The characteristics of the Opel Antara 2012 are largely determined by fresh ECOTEC gasoline engines that comply with Euro standard 5.
The Opel Antara 2.4 ECOTEC engine is a four-cylinder gasoline, all-aluminum LE 5 engine with a power of 170 hp. In various trim levels, it is presented either in tandem with a 6-speed manual transmission, or in a duet with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
3.0 ECOTEC - 264 hp six-cylinder gasoline unit. He replaced the V-shaped 3.2-liter "six" High Feature, which was notable for its exorbitant appetite. This engine is only available with a 6-speed automatic transmission. Due to ECOTEC technologies in the new gasoline-dependent Opel Antara, fuel consumption (combined cycle) is 9.3 liters and 10.9 liters per hundred kilometers, respectively.
Diesel range.
According to polls and expert opinions, it is precisely diesel Opel Antara aroused particular interest among the adherents of this class of cars.
Turbocharged four-cylinder Opel Antara diesel - 163-horsepower CDTi engine with a displacement of 2.2 liters. This diesel Antara consumes 7.9 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers.
The next diesel engine installed on the Opel Antara 2012 is essentially the same advanced CDTi, but with more “charged” settings. While maintaining the working volume, it produces 184 horsepower and shows a very modest fuel consumption. In this version of the Opel Antara, fuel consumption does not exceed 6.4 liters to overcome 100 kilometers in a combined cycle.
All engines updated range comply with Euro 5 regulations and exhibit low CO2 emissions into the atmosphere.
The Opel Antara automatic transmission line was developed by leading specialists from General Motors. The GM 6T 50 model is paired with a turbodiesel and a top-end petrol V-shaped “six”. For the LE 5 2.4 ECOTEC gasoline engine, the GM 6T 45 model is provided. According to the testers, these automatic boxes function so smoothly that they can rightly be considered one of the main advantages of the modern Opel Antara.
Characteristics of the Opel Antara 2012. Chassis and drive.
The technical characteristics, indicators of controllability, comfort and safety, corrected by the designers of the updated Opel Antara, determine the keen interest in the model from European and Russian buyers. In the eyes of Europeans, the New Opel Antara is a multi-tasking full-size car with increased capacity. Indeed, Opel Antara 2012 harmoniously combines the sporty look and quiet elegance of a city car. And quite serious off-road qualities Antara are complemented by the functionality and safety of a family station wagon.
The running gear looks like this:
Suspension is fully independent - MacPherson strut front, 4-link rear (double wishbones). As before, coil springs, transverse stabilizers, but the settings are new. More elastic silent blocks are installed in MacPherson, the upper mount is optimized shock absorber strut and slightly increased the diameter of the stabilizer roll stability. Levers rear suspension are now equipped with hydraulic dampers, and shock absorbers and springs have become a little stiffer.
Tires (size 235/55 R18 or 235/50 R19) are mounted on alloy wheels. The steering mechanism is rack and pinion with a hydraulic servo booster. "Baranka" makes 2.75 turns from lock to lock. Disc brakes, ventilated, with a diameter of 296 mm. (front) and 303 mm. (behind). IN basic configuration there is not only regular anti-lock system ABS but also electronic control stability ESP With traction control TC and DCS.
In addition, in the arsenal active safety Opel Antara 2012 has a CBC cornering system that increases vehicle stability when performing a specified maneuver by reducing the pressure in the brake circuit of the wheels moving along the inner radius. As well as the HBA hydraulic system, which independently increases the pressure in the brake system if the driver presses the brakes hard. This significantly reduces braking distances car.
The Opel Antara drive is controlled by an electronic unit. When driving in city or highway conditions, torque is transmitted from the engine only to the front wheelset. But in off-road mode, as well as when hit on slippery road all-wheel drive turns on automatically. In this case, the torque is equally redistributed between the front and rear axles. Thus, the power distribution is optimized, the rational fuel consumption of Antara is established and the maneuverability of the car is increased. Forced transition of the car to all-wheel drive mode, as well as differential locks are not provided.
Features Opel Antara 2012. Body and interior.
Externally, the Opel Antara 2012 is not much different from its predecessor. Full-face changes affected only the radiator grille and the shape of the bumper, in which the lower cutout of the false radiator appeared, and the anti-fog optics were located slightly higher. In the rear, in addition to the bumper, the lighting equipment has also undergone changes. Compared to the 2008 model, in the restyled Opel Antara, the dimensions of the body have matured somewhat.
Opel Antara dimensions, length - 4596 mm;
Opel Antara dimensions, width - 2085 mm;
Opel Antara dimensions, height - 1761 mm.
The wheelbase of the crossover also added solidity. Now it is equal to 2707 millimeters. The aerodynamic qualities of the model, although far from the status sports coupe, but quite acceptable for an SUV car. Air resistance coefficient -0.38. The best dynamics is demonstrated by Antara with a 184-horsepower turbodiesel. From zero to one hundred, the crossover accelerates in 9.7 seconds. The maximum speed is 200 km/h.
Salon Opel Antara visually has not changed much, although inner space the car looks now quite spacious. The dimensions increased in the updated Antara had a positive effect on the useful volume of the trunk. IN updated version it has grown by more than 13 gallons and is 420 liters. And in the mode of folded rear seats, it increases by another 1000 liters. Decent business performance.
Speaking of seats. Three adult passengers can comfortably fit on the rear sofa of the Opel Antara. In addition, the driver's seat can be adjusted not only longitudinally, but also in height.
The multifunctional steering wheel is also adjustable in two modes - tilt and reach. Thanks to this, the driver of any physique can choose an ergonomically optimal posture for himself. The parking brake lever has been replaced with a button. The next interesting solution is a “secret” compartment under the glass holders between the seats. In it, in addition to a convenient pencil case, additional AUX-input and USB connectors are hidden.
The main and really remarkable feature of the interior upgrade of the Opel Antara was the sound insulation indicator. Integrated design solutions resulted in a 3 dB drop in the noise level, that is, twice from the previous figure. Not every premium sedan can boast of this.
Options.
The equipment familiar to the Opel Antara has also changed somewhat. Now the crossover is available in two guises, and one of them with an "addition": ENJOY + ENJOY * and COSMO.
Democratic ENJOY already looks quite solid. In the presence of an active safety system, climate control, power windows, heated front seats and an excellent audio system.
Extended ENJOY* in addition received on-board computer, cruise control, parking sensors and GID-display. COSMO version has leather upholstery, rain sensor, xenon headlights with a washer system, heated and electrically adjustable exterior mirrors, and many more pleasant amenities and frills.
For Russian market the Opel Antara crossover is produced at the Opel assembly plant near St. Petersburg.
Opel Antara is a "classic" SUV from the German manufacturer Adam Opel AG, which is part of the General Motors concern. The car was the first in this lineup of the company.
The presentation of the crossover took place in 2005, the new production of the model was launched in 2007. The Chevrolet Captiva platform was taken as the basis. Released in 2011 new Opel Antara. The entire range of Opel.
Exterior
From an external point of view, the improved Opel Antara is almost no different from its own " younger brother". The differences are only in a slightly modified front and rear light-amplifying technology, foglights and a radiator grille. It turns out that the car has retained its attractiveness and style in appearance and is fully capable of meeting modern crossover standards.
The appearance of the Opel Antara is perhaps one of strengths brand new SUV. Here, the design staff did their best, significantly redesigning the crossover, when compared with the pre-styling model.
The nose of the car acquired a modified false radiator grille with a single large and a pair of small chrome bars, which are located horizontally. They installed the latest optics with a non-standard shape, which only highlights the advantages of the car.
The front bumper turned out to be quite powerful, and they also did not forget about the crossover protection and standard fog lights, which are neatly made and have a round shape. On the side of the car, you can see swollen wheel arches that hide 17-inch alloy wheels underneath that look quite stylish.
You can also notice window sills that are located quite high, roof rails that have found their place on the roof, rear-view mirrors that also look stylish and have LED repeaters turns. Separate words deserve air ducts, which are located behind the front wheel arches, which makes the car more youthful, sporty and dynamic.
The car looks interesting and modern. Visually, one gets the impression that the car was inflated, if compared with the previous model. The Opel Antara stern provides a successfully assembled tailgate, an updated rear bumper and rear optics that are very stylish. Therefore, if we talk about the external aspects of the restyled crossover, then he stepped forward.
Interior
In the salon, everything is done on the highest level. The interior has become even more thoughtful and luxurious. Only high-quality materials are used in upholstery and trim, for example, it is worth mentioning the incredibly chic interior trim in Light Titanium leather. It is possible to choose a color scheme for the finishing material.
And, of course, Opel Antara has become safer and more comfortable. This is ensured by an electric parking brake activated with a button, a sufficient number of airbags, functional belts and a wheel repair kit. Despite the quite solid dimensions, the design staff managed to squeeze the maximum out of this, and as wisely as possible dispose of every centimeter.
The driver's seat provides a brand new multifunctional steering wheel, which is made in the style sports cars. It is very comfortable to hold in your hands, and all the keys have been placed very cleverly and intuitively. The panel located in front has quite modern sensor radii and an on-board computer.
On the console, installed in the center, a multimedia system, an audio system, a climate control unit and a list of other options that are available in the car have found their place. In general, there are no questions about the seats installed in front and behind.
The level of plating is acceptable, the assembly and fitting of parts has improved, and the lateral support has become even more confident and pronounced. Ergonomics and free space provide a comfortable ride for any of the 5 people.
Multifunction steering wheel For example, the driver's seat was made very reliable, and it has position adjustments in all available directions, a special small joystick that has found its place to the left of the seat - it is not difficult to find it. Interestingly, paying attention to the seat, you immediately understand that German specialists worked on it, because everything is thought out there in terms of ergonomics of all keys.
To press any button does not require much effort or performance of any acrobatic stunts. The free space between the front seats has increased due to the absence hand brake, which also made it possible to establish hand luggage. It is worth recognizing that despite all the updates and changes, the interior of the Opel Antara does not differ radically from the pre-styling model, as the developers claimed.
It is clear that the update was beneficial, but it was not brought to completion. I was pleased with the appearance on the center console of the multimedia system, a brand new gearshift lever on a car with mechanical box gears. The layout of the center console has changed.
Rear passengers usually experience discomfort in SUVs due to the small free space for their knees, but in the Opel Antara it is very free here! Antara has got a new navigation system that has a display and supports touch input. The car company plans to install them in all future cars. Separately, it is worth mentioning the improved sound insulation of the cabin.
As a result, the interior of the Opel Antara has quite a lot of free space at its disposal, without losing a good amount of luggage space. If you do not lower the backs of the rear row of seats, then the trunk provides 420 liters of usable space. If necessary, you can lower the backs of the rear seats and then free place will grow to 1,420 liters of free space.
In addition, the loading area will turn out to be so flat that not all Opel competitors have this. If previously used plastic is not the same best quality, now soft analogues have been installed. The result is on the face - it is inaudible noise, creaking, emission of unpleasant odors.
Responsible for comfort inside the car:
- Power steering;
- Steering wheel adjustment in one plane;
- headlight washers;
- Power windows;
- Power mirrors;
- Electric adjustment of the driver's seat;
- Passenger seat adjustment;
- Heated mirrors;
- Air conditioner.
Specifications
Powertrain and fuel consumption
The restyled crossover has four options for power units, a pair of operating on diesel fuel and a couple - on gasoline. The base car has a gasoline aspirated, the volume of which is 2.4 liters. This 16-valve engine with a distributed fuel supply system is capable of delivering 167 horsepower.
The SUV reaches the first hundred in 10.3-11 seconds, and the top speed is 175-185 km/h. Average consumption fuel equals 9.1-9.3 liters per 100 km in the combined cycle. The top variation of the Opel Antara car comes with a V-shaped six-cylinder power unit, the volume of which is 3.0 liters, and it is capable of delivering 249 horsepower.
With such a strong engine, the car reaches the first hundred in just 8.6 seconds, the top speed is 198 km / h. Average fuel consumption at 10.9 liters in mixed mode. The diesel engine is the only one, but it has two modifications.
The first received 163 horses, and the second already 184 horsepower. The volume of the diesel power unit is 2.2 liters, it also has a turbocharger and direct injection common rail.
The diesel engine allows you to accelerate to the first hundred in 9.9-10.1 seconds, and the top speed is 188-191 km / h. He eats about 6.6–7.8 liters in a combined cycle.
Transmission
The three-liter “engine” is synchronized only with a six-speed automatic transmission. The diesel 163-horsepower engine is supplied only on the "mechanics", and the 184-horsepower power point got an automatic transmission.
There is also an automatically activated all-wheel drive system, which includes a multi-plate clutch that can distribute torque up to 50/50.
Suspension
Technical part updated car The Opel Antara has a Theta bogie, McPherson struts in front and a multi-link system in the rear.
Steering
It is presented here rack type controls with built-in hydraulic booster.
Brake system
Regarding brake system, then there are installed disc brakes with ventilation to the front wheels, the option of ABS, EBD and other electronic services.
Dimensions
The length of the Opel Antara is 4596 mm, the wheelbase is 2707 mm, the car is 1850 mm wide and 1761 mm high. Ground clearance this crossover is 200 mm, which, in principle, is pretty good, because on our roads he will be able to feel more confident.
Opel dimensions Antara The mass of the car varies from 1,750 to 1,936 kg, depending on which version. dimensions, especially the length, suggests that he meets a full-fledged crossover.
Safety
It is already customary that Opel cars are equipped with integrated system SAFETEC security, which is able to cover various devices and active and passive safety services. With various features already included in standard modification cars (ABS, ESP, CBC, ARP, DCS), the restyled model can be proud of the high level of active safety.
And in the event of an imminent accident, a complete set of passive safety devices reduces the risk of injury for both the driver and all passengers. The body structure of the Opel Antara was made rigid, and high-strength steel in it occupies 37% of total weight. This makes it possible to build a kind of safety cage, which is designed to protect the interior.
SAFETEC security system In a frontal impact, the frame parts, which are installed longitudinally and transversely, together with the elements built into the wheel arches, redistribute the collision force, while removing it from the passenger compartment in four directions. It turns out that the deformation descends to the minimum values.
There is also a load-bearing cross beam, which is made very firmly. It can also “eat up” the collision force that comes through the front side parts of the metal frame. The front-mounted doors have also been reinforced with middle and upper sections, which has a positive effect on overall body strength.
The stern of the car was also reinforced thanks to large side beams and fuel tank, which is located in front of the rear axle. There are specialized box-shaped parts in which deformation is programmed. They are integrated into the bodywork front and rear.
In collisions at low speeds, they take the entire impact on themselves, reducing the cost of repairing the car. Moreover, the car has a galvanized coating, which is designed to deal with areas that are prone to corrosion.
Security systems:
- The presence of frontal airbags;
- The presence of side airbags for the driver and sitting next to him front passenger that protect the chest and pelvis;
- The presence of curtain airbags installed on the front and side seats;
- Three-point seat belts;
- The presence of pretensioners and limiters of seat belts only for the front seats;
- Headrests adjustable in height;
- The presence of an alarm seat belt driver and passenger safety;
- Possibility of fixing ISOFIX child seats.

Power unit tuning
For example, some use chip tuning or, to put it another way, they ask the electronic unit management. This is not so hard to do, but many consider this method of changing the characteristics of the "engine" doubtful. To a greater extent due to the fact that this can significantly reduce its motor resource. This does not mean that you need to radically reject such a method, but it is advised to initially apply the list additional work.
You can use additional processing or even replace piston group. Despite the strict quality control of manufactured products, pistons still receive materials that give them excess weight. Along with this mass, the inertia of the moving parts grows. This, in turn, causes some loss of power. How can this be fixed? Remove the casting layer from the pistons and connecting rods and chamfer the edges of the skirt. It is also possible to mount lightweight elements of increased strength.
Camshafts can be replaced
There are companies that provide shafts with a profile that differs from the base one. Thanks to the installation of such elements, it will be possible to change the phases of the GR, increase power and torque.
However, it is important to understand that the power itself will not be taken - the driver must prepare himself for changes in gasoline consumption.
In the end, you can reconfigure the intake and exhaust system. Here you can not do just the installation of "forward flow", as young drivers like to do. It is important to replace the usual air filter on the device with zero resistance and polish the intake and exhaust manifold.
Body tuning
The field of developing high-quality design solutions and the surface of body elements is one of the most difficult tasks in the automotive industry. If you take this moment without realizing it, you will only get “collective farm tuning”, as they say now. The market is replete with a considerable number of specialized studios that are able to resolve issues of change. appearance and car interior at a professional level.
Such companies are able to make front and rear bumpers, overhead thresholds and other external body kit that fit well into the exterior of the car. In addition, many people forget about internal tuning- installation of other seats and a steering wheel, leather upholstery, wood trim or alcantara. On top of that, there is big choice airbrushing for non-standard body painting.
Opel Antara 2015 - powerful crossover from the concern. The developers have significantly improved the model externally, as well as improved its technical characteristics.
Attractive and very original design The car is 100% consistent with the concept of a modern crossover. Opel Antara has advanced developments and modern technologies, making it comfortable and dynamic, provide excellent performance.
The advantages of the Opel Antara model include:
- good dynamic performance;

In the Cosmo package, in addition to all these features, leather trim, xenon headlights with washers, a fully folding front passenger seat and many other features are available.
Wide range of engines salient feature Total Opel family, and Antara is no exception. If we consider petrol versions, then you can find on the market cars with 4-cylinder 2.4-liter engines and V-shaped “sixes” of 3.0 and 3.2 liters. Engines 2.4, despite the same cubic capacity, were offered in different modifications: Family II (140 hp), and since 2011 - more powerful Ecotec families (170 hp). Regardless of power, these are the most popular and widespread versions of the crossover. More powerful modifications with V6 make up a smaller contingent, but their characteristics, including such an indicator as specific power, are obviously higher. are of interest and diesel engines- for the Russian market, two economical and torquey engines with a volume of 2.2 and a power of 163 hp were offered. and 184 hp
The chassis of the Opel Antara is a combination independent suspension MacPherson type in front and multi-link independent rear. Front brakes are ventilated disc brakes, rear disc brakes. alloy size rims varies depending on the modification - 17 or 18 inches. The suspension is tuned for more stiffness, with little travel. The main drive is front, but if necessary, the system automatically connects rear wheels through a multi-plate clutch. The decent size of the wheelbase made it possible to allocate enough space in the back row to comfortably accommodate three adults. Trunk volume varies from 420 to 1420 liters. Antara can be equipped with a Flex-Fix system that allows you to transport bicycles using special mounts on the rear bumper. This system can withstand a weight of 40 kg.
Opel Antara offers an extensive list of safety equipment, without mentioning which the description would be incomplete, which includes such useful devices as Dynamic Stability Program (ESP) with brake force distribution during cornering (CBC); Controlled Descent System (DCS), and active system roll over protection (ARP). The car is equipped with ABS, front and side airbags for the driver and front passenger, front and rear side curtain airbags, ISOFIX child seat mounting system.
Load-bearing body, automatically connected all-wheel drive, low ground clearance - this is the image modern SUV, not claiming the laurels of a real SUV.

And an excellent offer on engines allows you to make a choice depending on your preferences - for the sake of dynamics or economy.
Read completelyOpel Antara I generation restyling 2011-present
In 2011, a restyled version of the Opel Antara crossover entered the market. In fact, this is the same Chevrolet Captiva, only smaller. Of course, there are differences in appearance, but they cannot be called global. The situation under the hood is much more interesting ...
Was - became
Shapes have been slightly changed. front bumper and grilles, retouched optics, changed "fog". In general, a little.
The interior has not changed much - the same steering wheel, the same round air vents, control buttons. "Tidy" remained simple and unpretentious. On test drives, they noted good sound insulation. In general, the interior is good and comfortable.
Antara 2.4MT/AT
The model is now equipped with one of three power units. The weakest is the upgraded 2.4-liter gasoline engine, with a capacity of 164 "horses" (instead of 140 for the previous model). With a manual transmission, it accelerates the car to hundreds in 10.3 seconds. But be that as it may, such an engine for a crossover should be recognized as minimally sufficient, because it does not demonstrate any bright dynamics. Traction is not bad - 230 Nm of torque.
Antara 2.2 CDTi MT/AT
Next comes the 2.2-liter turbodiesel. This golden mean. The motor is very traction - from 350 to 400 Nm of torque. And quite powerful - from 163 to 184 "horses". The difference in power and torque depends on the settings. Acceleration to 100 km / h takes 10 seconds. Fuel consumption for it is only 7.8 liters per "weave".
Antara 3.0AT
A 3-liter atmospheric "gasoline", with the only possible AT, was replaced by a 3.2-liter engine. It produces 249 hp. and 287 Nm of torque. It accelerates to “weave” in 8.6 seconds and consumes 10.9 liters. gasoline. True, given the "brutal" appetite of the past 3.2-liter engine, it is hard to believe in such factory indicators.

The car is equipped with all-wheel drive only. This is a definite plus for the crossover. The gearbox can be either a 6-speed MT or an “automatic” with the same number of speeds.
Suspension Opel Antara
Ground clearance noticeably decreased (from 200 mm. to 176 mm.), so that new Opel Antara, the pre-styling version of which also did not suffer from excessive cross-country ability, is clearly focused on the “asphalt path”. Manageability can not be called a reference. And although the designers managed to level out the impressiveness and rolls in the corners, it is still far from the ideal.
Cost and equipment Opel Antara
The cheapest version with a 2.4-liter engine and MT costs 1 million 51 thousand rubles. It is not bad - here are front and side pillows, and curtains and ABS systems, EBD, ASR, ESP and HHC, and "climate", and "on-board" and much more.
But having paid only 40,000 rubles. you can get the same car with automatic transmission or diesel on the "mechanics". Naturally, diesel (even on the "handle") in this case noticeably wins.
Well, the top equipment is estimated at 1,291,000 rubles. It has everything - complete security passengers, leather adjustable multifunction steering wheel, climate control, cruise control, parking sensors, bi-xenon and so on.
Summary
As a result, the car became a fully competitive crossover. It has new engines and an updated chassis. This means that the main claims to the model have been eliminated.
