facelift 2010 Overview:
Vauxhall Antara (facelift 2010). With 350 Nm of torque, it offers ample pulling power. It has moderate fuel consumption (~10 l/100km). With a weight of 1865 kg, it falls in the mid‑range. Front‑wheel drive delivers efficiency and easy handling. Acceleration is relatively slow (0–100 km/h in 9.9 s). The top speed reaches 188 km/h. A sport utility vehicle offering higher ground clearance and versatile cargo space. Seating for 5 makes it ideal for daily use.
2.2 CDTI (163 Hp) Verdict:
Performance Verdict
Adequate performance for daily driving, with a 9.9-second 0-100 km/h time. Lacks the punch of the 184 Hp variant but is still competent.
Fuel Economy
Surprisingly less efficient than the 4x4 manual versions, with a combined fuel consumption of 7.7 l/100 km. This makes it a less appealing choice for economy-conscious buyers.
Pros and Cons:
Pros:
- • Refreshed styling and improved interior over pre-facelift model
- • Strong and efficient 2.2 CDTI diesel engines (manual versions)
- • Practical and spacious interior with good boot capacity
- • Available 4x4 capability for varied terrain and weather
- • Good value on the used market
Cons:
- • Automatic gearbox significantly impacts performance and fuel economy
- • Interior quality, while improved, still lags behind some rivals
- • Ride can be firm on larger wheels
- • Not as refined or engaging to drive as class leaders
- • Higher fuel consumption on FWD 163hp and all automatic variants
