“Full on-board functionality - that is what cars like the Signum, Zafira and Meriva stand for, that is our know-how. Now with the Antara’s unique Flex-Fix system, we carry this over to the exterior.�
Frank Leopold, GME Manager, Innovation Advanced Package & Concept Cars
The Opel Antara conveys a casual, easy-going lifestyle with its spacious interior, numerous compartments, as well as many clever and practical features. The sense of spaciousness created by the elevated seating position and large glazed surfaces is superb, and the Antara doesn’t just seem spacious: measurements confirm that passengers enjoy plenty of space. With 933 millimeters of rear legroom, for example, the Antara is at the top of its segment.
The trunk has a capacity of 370 liters under the luggage compartment cover. Cargo capacity increases to 865 liters with the rear bench seat folded down and up to 1420 liters when loaded to the roof. The rear seat back can be split 60:40 and folded down. A storage box under the load floor ensures practical organization of the luggage compartment, as does the optional FlexOrganizer system, which is already familiar from the Astra and Vectra station wagon models. Nets, dividing walls, rods and hooks can be snapped into two rails on each of the side walls of the Antara's luggage compartment, allowing the trunk to be separated into different sections to protect the cargo from shifting or being damaged during the journey.
However, the designers did not only focus on the trunk when they considered the newcomer’s storage options. The Antara features numerous compartments and boxes throughout its interior, including a drawer under the passenger seat, sunglasses holder in the roof liner, nets on the front seat backs, a parking garage ticket holder left of the steering wheel, a net on the center console, compartments in the front and rear central arm rests, as well as storage boxes in the rear wheelhouses.
The integrated rear carrier Flex-Fix boasts the unbeatable practicality that has become an Opel trademark and is especially important in this segment. Flex-Fix has the potential to set the new benchmark in flexible exterior transportation, just as the Zafira’s “Flex7� does for interior seating systems. In typical Opel style, its full on-board functionality eliminates the need for cumbersome assembly, dismantling or storage of parts. Flex-Fix is also featured in the new Corsa and is available as an option for the Antara. It stows away almost invisibly under the rear bumper and can easily be pulled out to carry up to two bicycles.
In addition, the Antara features comfort details such as front and rear power windows (standard), heated front seats (standard from Edition), air conditioning (standard), Quickheat (standard with all diesel models), Automatic Lighting Control ALC (standard Edition upwards), power exterior mirrors (optional) and stationary heating (optional).
For on-board entertainment, the Antara features a standard MP3-compatible stereo CD Radio CD 30 MP3, seven loudspeakers, remote controls on the steering wheel and a roof antenna to provide excellent radio reception. The DVD 100 Navi navigation system with large Color Info Display, as well as a mobile phone console with Bluetooth connection and voice control are also optionally available.
