Explore your enthusiasm for creativity.
A smart new look, yet still complete with flowing curves and perfect
proportions – New Antara has an even more expressive yet rugged
style about it. Compact, sophisticated, yet tough, dynamic and now,
more than ever, ready for an active life. Imposing alloy wheels, roof
rails and protective skid plates. Be inspired by your New Antara –
wherever your drive takes you.
5
Explore your passion for the finer things in life.
The New Antara interior is full of light and space, with high quality trims, premium finishes
and top-of-the-range levels of equipment. Leather trim, electronic climate control, satellite
navigation, MP3 format and heated front seats are all available. The new electric parking
brake function also frees up space for even more storage. And a high driving position gives
you confidence, control and a great view of the road ahead.
7
Automatic transmission. Rare for this class, a six-speed
ActiveSelect® automatic transmission is available (at extra cost).
Electronically controlled features include an adaptive driving function
plus a new eco mode that maximises use of higher gears for improved
fuel economy – which in combination with the new 2.2CDTi unit means
almost a 10% improvement over previous automatic models.
Front-wheel drive. New to the Antara range is a conventional front-wheel drive
system. Available on Exclusiv models only and mated to the 163PS version of the new
2.2CDTi 16v it offers the perfect choice for those who are looking for more affordable
Antara motoring and the associated maximum fuel economy benefits.
Six-speed manual transmission. Antara’s new multi-valve petrol
and diesel engines come with a slick but sturdy new six-speed manual
gearbox as standard. The new manual front-wheel drive diesel
model achieves an impressive 46.3mpg on the combined cycle.
Driving dynamics
Start/Stop technology. New to the Antara range and available on both FWD and
4X4 2.2CDTi 16v manual diesel models, the innovative Start/Stop system switches the
engine off when you stop at the lights or in traffic, then restarts it automatically once
the clutch is depressed. A huge range of built-in checks ensures passenger and vehicle
safety at all times, of course. Engine stop is indicated by the rev counter needle in the
AUTOSTOP position.
Intelligent four-wheel drive. The electronically controlled Antara system switches
automatically between two- and four-wheel drive as conditions demand. In normal
driving, power goes to the front wheels only, saving fuel at the same time. And when
conditions turn difficult or slippery, four-wheel drive is automatically engaged,
switching the drive as required to the front and rear wheels for optimum traction.
New 2.4i 16v petrol engine. New to the Antara range this efficient multi-valve fourcylinder petrol engine develops 167PS and is available on Exclusiv FWD models only.
New efficient 2.2CDTi 16v diesel. Available in two versions – a 163PS unit with
350Nm of torque on Exclusiv and SE Nav models and on SE Nav models only, a 184PS
variant with an equally impressive 400Nm of torque. Not only is this latest engine
more powerful than the previous unit, it is both quieter and smoother and offers up to
15% better fuel economy with manual transmission. In addition CO2 emissions are
vastly improved – the new front-wheel drive model achieves 160g/km.
Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF). Diesel Particulate Filters provide an effective
means of reducing particulate emissions into the atmosphere. The maintenance-free
Antara unit can cut the output of harmful emissions by over 90%. That’s why it’s
standard equipment.
Electronic Stability Programme (ESP). Antara benefits from a
unique interaction between switchable ESP, Traction Control (TC)
and Descent Control System (DCS), all working together with the
ABS system and on 4X4 models, intelligent four-wheel drive to
deliver high degrees of driving satisfaction, comfort and active
safety. If a wet roundabout or muddy corner catches you out, ESP
applies corrective braking to help you regain control. TC helps
maintain traction under acceleration. The ESP system fitted to the
Antara also includes a trailer stability program and Hill Start Assist
(HSA) that eases starting and eliminates roll-back on gradients.
Descent Control System. DCS enhances driver control on slippery
slopes by maintaining a constant incline descent speed. Fitted as
standard equipment, it allows drivers to make potentially tricky
descents far more comfortably and at safer, constant speed.
Visit the Vauxhall website: www.vauxhall.co.uk for more explanation of ESP, DCS and intelligent four-wheel drive.
9
Safety features. Antara protects you in
so many ways. Front, side and full-size
curtain airbags are standard, along
with pyrotechnic body-lock seatbelt
pretensioners for the front and outer
rear seats. Adaptive brake lights flash
when the ABS braking is activated.
Dual front seatbelt pretensioners.
Working in tandem with the built-in front
seat ramps they help to minimise the
forward movement of the body during
emergency braking. They also help enhance
the effectiveness of the front airbags.
Tyre pressure monitoring system.
Antara SE Nav models permanently
monitor individual tyre pressures using
sensors located on the tyre valves,
displaying the information on the screen.
If a significant pressure loss is detected,
the display identifies the offending tyre.
Front lights. For safer winter driving, front fog lights are standard on every model,
recessed into the lower valance. Xenon headlights, with dynamic beam levelling
and high-pressure washers, are standard on Antara SE Nav models. Our clever
door-to-door illumination feature keeps the dipped headlights and rear lights on for
30 seconds to light your way as you leave the car.
Passenger airbag deactivation.
The front passenger’s airbag can be
deactivated when a child seat is fitted.
Parking distance sensors. Standard
on all 4X4 models, this clever Vauxhall
system helps safeguard your car when
parking. Sensors in the bumpers provide
an audible warning when they sense an
object behind – or in front of – the vehicle,
making it altogether easier to park.
Security features. Remote control
central deadlocking, ultrasonic security
alarm system and an electronic engine
deadlock immobiliser are standard.
11
Safety and security
Electric parking brake. The electric
parking brake is easy to apply and also
has an automatic release function to
ease driving off on slopes.
Driver features
Get connected. And stay connected on the move with the Touch and Connect touchscreen navigation system complete with USB connection and Bluetooth® technology.
Standard on SE Nav models and optional at extra cost on Exclusiv diesel models, this
sophisticated system packs all the latest technology.
• Five-inch touch-screen colour display and steering wheel control for easy,
intuitive operation
• Dynamic navigation with bird’s eye view map
• Navigation data for 28 European countries on SD card
• CD/MP3 CD player
• Aux-in socket and USB connection with full control and browsing capability for
portable MP3 players
• Bluetooth® wireless connectivity for hands-free calling and audio streaming with
detailed track information on display
• Four x 20 watts per channel output and seven premium speakers
Sensing features. The Antara driver
environment is packed with clever ideas
helping you concentrate on the road
ahead. On SE Nav activate the rainsensitive wipers and they’ll switch on
automatically when it rains. Automatic
lighting control does the same for the
headlights when it starts to get dark.
Seating position. You don’t just sit high
up in Antara. You relax in total comfort,
thanks to driver’s seat height, tilt and
lumbar adjustment, plus a reach and
rake adjustable steering column. Both
models feature heated front seats – with
three separate heat settings as standard.
CD 30 MP3 CD player. Standard on
Exclusiv models, this unit plays MP3 tracks
from CD. Antara models have seven
speakers and steering wheel mounted
audio controls. There’s also an aux-in
socket so you can play favourite tracks
direct from your personal MP3 player.
Cruise control. Standard on all 4X4
models, the easy-to-use cruise control
system allows you to maintain a steady
speed without keeping your foot on the
throttle. So it’s more comfortable on
long journeys and easier to keep to
speed limits too.
13
Leather trim. Antara SE Nav models
feature stylish leather seat trim in
Charcoal, Saddle Brown or a new Light
Titanium finish to suit your exterior
colour. It’s complemented by contrasting
trim on the facia and doors, adding to
the upmarket feel.
Front centre armrest. The centre
console includes a comfortable armrest.
Open the lid and you’ll find more storage
space for loose items like sweets, coins,
CDs and other personal effects.
Air conditioning and ECC. Standard on
Antara Exclusiv, air conditioning makes
for a fresher interior atmosphere all
year round. SE Nav models move up to
Electronic Climate Control enabling you
to maintain the interior temperature to
within a single degree. All models
feature rear heater ducts.
Heat-reflective windscreen. The SE
Nav features a multi-layered coating
inside the windscreen which reflects the
sun’s heat, helping the electronic climate
control maintain a pleasant – and
constant – temperature inside the car.
Front floor console. The electric parking
brake has freed useful space for the centre
console. On Exclusiv and SE Nav models,
the new centre floor console contains
two drinks holders and a convenient
open storage compartment. The armrest
opens to reveal capacious storage for
journey needs and personal items.
Rear drinks holders. Mounted in the
rear seat centre armrest, the two drinks
holders are the perfect place for en-route
refreshments and typical of Antara’s
attention to rear passenger comfort.
The armrest also features a useful
storage facility.
Heated front seats. On both models,
heating elements in the seat backs and
cushions enable the front seats to reach
a comfortable temperature in a very
short time. There are three separate
heat settings.
15
Interior features
Versatility
Spacious load area. Open the tailgate.
Enjoy the space. An incredible 1420 litres
of loadspace to be exact – with the rear
seats folded forward. Even with all
five seats in use, and the luggage
compartment cover in place, a 928mm
long floor length translates to as much
as 420 litres of loadspace – easily enough
for several large suitcases. If you need
room for longer luggage, the rear seat
back is 60/40 split-folding, so you can
carry what you need and still have room
for rear seat passengers.
Fold-flat front passenger’s seat.
The fold-flat facility for the front
passenger’s seat on SE Nav models
allows the seat back to fold forward to
accommodate extra-long items.
Practical stowage. Antara has plenty of
clever storage space. In the front you’ll
find door pockets, drinks holders, a
sunglasses storage pocket (SE Nav only),
passenger seat undertray and storage
in the front centre armrest. There are
drinks holders and front seat back
storage pockets for rear passengers too.
Roof rails. Antara’s stylish silver-effect
integral roof rails don’t just look good.
They’re the perfect starting point for the
Vauxhall roof rack system. Attach the
accessory base carrier and it’s ready for
a wide range of lockable travel boxes and
other specialist fittings for skis and more.
60/40 split-folding rear seat. Antara
models feature a 60/40 split-folding rear
seat with adjustable backrest. Tilted
forward into the upright position, these
provide extra usable luggage capacity.

Touch and Connect features
Satellite navigation
The satellite navigation system uses the
international network of GPS (Global
Positioning System) satellites, linked to a
comprehensive 3D mapping system on
the 5-inch colour LCD touch-screen, to
determine your precise location and guide
you to your chosen destination virtually
anywhere in mainland Britain. In areas
where radio stations operate the Traffic
Messaging Channel (TMC) service you can
take advantage of dynamic route guidance.
This monitors incidents and delays along
your chosen route and suggests an
alternative route to avoid them, taking into
account any previous conditions you have
set such as avoiding motorways, toll roads
etc. The system also offers major route
navigation across a further 28 European
countries via the supplied SD card.
The bright display makes it easy to follow
your progress on screen, and the directional
arrows are backed up by spoken instructions
that guide you to your destination turn-byturn. A travel guide is a particularly useful
feature that has details of restaurants, hotels,
parking and other points of interest. Simply
select the location you’re interested in and let
the navigation system guide you there.
Mobile phone system with Bluetooth®
The Touch and Connect unit includes builtin Bluetooth® v2.0, allowing transfer of
phonebook contents, call history and caller
ID. Simply tap the touch-screen to accept an
incoming call and hear your caller through
the stereo speakers. To make an outgoing
call, choose a name from the phonebook via
the touch-screen display, then carry on your
conversation hands-free. The unit features
an in-built microphone to pick up your voice.
You can even stream music directly from your
compatible mobile phone.
USB connection
Fitted in conjunction with the Touch and
Connect unit, the USB connection provides
iPod/iPhone control and read-out of iPod/
iPhone functions through the touch-screen
display. Traditional aux-in sockets only allow
control of the volume through the car’s audio
system. The USB connection also means
that the iPod/iPhone will charge whilst it is
connected. If you prefer to store your music
on a memory stick this is no problem, you
simply plug it in and play via the touchscreen.
Aux-in socket
The aux-in socket allows you to connect
your portable MP3 music player directly into
the car’s audio system. All you need is your
music player and a suitable connecting lead
and you can listen to all your favourite tunes
through your car’s speaker system. Using
your MP3 music player in the car couldn’t
be easier – use it to select the music, as
you would normally do, while controlling
the volume via the car’s regular volume
controls.

Technical data
Performance, fuel economy, emissions and VED rates
*VED = Vehicle Excise Duty. Correct at time of publication (April 2012).
Fuel consumption and CO2 emission data complies with the relevant EU testing regulations used by vehicle manufacturers to enable comparisons between different models. Important: Please
note fuel consumption can be affected by many factors including driving style, road and traffic conditions, vehicle mileage and standard of maintenance. In addition these results relate to the
particular vehicle tested, inevitably there will be differences between individual vehicles of the same model.
Start/Stop technology
New Antara’s Start/Stop system offers real
benefits by improving fuel economy and
reducing CO2 emissions, particularly in town.
It does this by automatically stopping the
engine when you come to a standstill, and
then restarting as you prepare to move off.
Before automatically stopping the engine a
number of system checks are carried out to
ensure that it is both safe and practical to do
so. To ensure safety, the driver must depress
Vauxhall supporting
the clutch pedal, shift in to neutral, and then
release the clutch pedal.
System checks carried out before Auto Stop
activates include:
• Start/Stop system is not manually
deactivated via the facia button
• Sufficient brake vacuum is available to
prevent the car rolling down an incline
• Battery is in good condition and charged
• Outside air temperature and engine
temperature are above specified minima
Smarter driving tips
• Drive at an appropriate speed: Staying
within the speed limit increases driver
safety, reduces CO2 emissions and saves
fuel. At 70mph you could be using up to
9% more fuel than at 60mph and up to
15% more fuel than at 50mph
• Drive smoothly at all times: Anticipate
the ebb and flow of the traffic to avoid
harsh acceleration and braking
• Electronic climate control (where fitted) is
not in maximum heating or maximum
cooling mode
• Self-cleaning function of the diesel
particulate filter is not active
If all of these conditions are satisfied then
the vehicle will Auto Stop.
When you are ready to pull away from
standstill, Auto Restart is activated by
depressing the clutch pedal.
• Reduce your revs: Change gear earlier
to help reduce fuel consumption – try
2000rpm with diesel engines
• Idling is wasting fuel: If you’re likely
to be at a standstill for more than three
minutes, switch off the engine to save fuel
• Regularly check your tyre pressures:
Under inflated tyres increase CO2
emissions whilst incorrectly inflated
Whilst at a standstill the vehicle is continually
monitored. If necessary, the engine will
automatically be restarted. Conditions that
would initiate an Auto Restart include:
• Low battery level
• Brake vacuum below specified minimum
• Start/Stop system is manually deactivated
• Stationary for 5.5 minutes
tyres can be unsafe. Always check your
handbook for the correct tyre pressure.
This will also help to increase the life of
your tyres
• Remove unnecessary items from the
car: Extra weight increases the engine’s
workload, whilst roof racks and bike
carriers increase wind resistance. All burn
more fuel and increase CO2 emissions

Gross vehicle weight is the total permissible weight of the vehicle including passengers and their luggage. The maximum roof
rack loading should not exceed 100kg. The maximum towing weights are based on the ability of the car, with two occupants
of 75kg each, to restart on a 12% gradient, which is approximately 1 in 8.3, at sea level. At altitudes above 1500 metres, the
engine output may drop with a corresponding reduction in towing capability. Any extra weight, such as luggage or additional
passengers, should be deducted from the maximum towing weight. With a trailer fully loaded, maximum noseweight should
not exceed 80kg. Always fit Vauxhall towing attachments and accessories available from your Vauxhall retailer. They are
designed specifically for Vauxhall models and carry a 12-month guarantee.

Features explained

D1. Switchable Electronic Stability Programme (ESP)
ESP helps the driver maintain full control of the
vehicle during adverse or emergency conditions.
ESP technology is designed to monitor both the front
and rear of the car independently and compare their
respective directions of travel with the driver’s steering
wheel input. If either the front A (understeer) or rear
B (oversteer) of the vehicle begins to slide, ESP
gently applies corrective braking to the appropriate
individual road wheel, controlling the slide and
maintaining safe progress.
A When a vehicle is understeering excessively, ESP will apply a braking force to the inside
rear wheel, slowing it down and increasing the vehicle’s yaw angle to help the front wheels
change direction. B During the more unusual oversteering situation, ESP will apply the
correct braking force to the outside front wheel, which will reduce the yaw angle and bring the
vehicle back under control. The system fitted to Antara can be switched off for those situations
where a certain amount of wheelspin is desirable in order to maintain forward or backward
motion – such as on snow or especially slippery ground.
without DCS
with DCS
D3. Descent Control System (DCS)
DCS allows controlled descent on downward slopes without locking the wheels. Operating at
speeds up to 30mph the system uses the ABS sensors to monitor wheel speed and brakes
automatically without locking the wheels. On severe inclines the system also allows for a
more controlled descent at a constant 6mph by braking the front wheels. This low-speed
descent is activated by selecting first gear (D for automatic transmission) while stationary at
the top of the slope and then allowing the vehicle to roll forward (without using the accelerator)
and then activating the DCS button. The system also operates in reverse gear, though at a
slightly lower speed.
D2. Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) with cornering brake control
Cornering brake control makes the car easier to control in extreme situations, particularly
when braking sharply on a bend. It is particularly effective when carrying out emergency
procedures, such as avoiding a child’s ball that’s rolled out from the kerb. The system works
by sensing the different rotational speeds of the individual road wheels and co-ordinating the
level of braking pressure applied to each wheel. Cornering brake control is an integral part of
Antara’s comprehensive ABS.
A
Front-wheel drive
B
Four-wheel drive
D4. Electronically controlled four-wheel drive coupling
This electro-hydraulic coupling is at the heart of Antara’s intelligent four-wheel drive system.
It reacts to road conditions through inputs from the ESP, ABS and traction control sensors.
Under normal conditions A Antara operates in front-wheel drive mode for optimum
efficiency. However, as soon as the sensors indicate that four-wheel drive is necessary
B a precise electrical charge is applied to the coupling which then delivers the correct
amount of torque to the rear wheels within milliseconds.
In extremely slippery conditions it enables the power to be split 50:50 between the front
and rear axles for maximum traction.
