  1. Preliminary data


All data refer to the European base model with standard equipment. The consumption data according to 1999/100/EU takes into consideration the vehicle’s curb weight as stipulated by this regulation. Additional equipment can lead to slightly higher fuel consumption and therefore CO2 exhaust emissions than the declared values. In addition, they can raise the vehicle’s curb weight and in some cases also increase the gross vehicle weight, the maximum allowable axle loads and respectively reduce the permitted trailer load. Therefore the maximum speed may be decreased while acceleration time can be increased. The published performance figures are possible with the vehicle’s curb weight excluding driver plus a 200 kilogram load allowance.

Opinions on new Antara:

Carl-Peter Forster, President General Motors Europe:
“With the Antara, Opel is the first European volume manufacturer to offer a modern crossover. Exciting design, dynamic character ? the Antara shows what is meant when we at GM talk about the advantages of global cooperation. Without this, each brand would not be in a position to develop products, based on shared vehicle architecture, that boast brand-specific characteristics.�

Hans Demant, Opel Managing Director:
“It is just what we wanted: a crossover with the dynamic handling of a passenger car and the rugged qualities of an off-road vehicle.�

Bryan Nesbitt, Executive Director Design, GM Europe:
“With the Antara, we've translated the GTC concept's exciting design language into a five-door, five-seat production crossover with a spacious, versatile interior.�

Alain Visser, Executive Director, European Opel Marketing:
“With the Antara, we offer a high-quality, dynamic and elegantly designed crossover. We intend to take a leading role in this fiercely competitive market.�

Willi Reinheimer, Project Manager Opel Antara:
“The new Antara’s 2.0 CDTI produces 150 hp, making it one of the most powerful diesels in this class. Thanks to its propulsion power and low consumption, it suits our modern crossover brilliantly.�

Frank Leopold, GME Manager Innovation Advanced Package & Concept Cars:
“Opel’s exceptional know-how in full on-board functionality is highlighted in models such as the Signum, Zafira and Meriva. Now with the unique Flex-Fix system in the Antara, Opel showcases this expertise in an innovative exterior feature.�
