Developed with the driver in mind, the Antara features sports suspension that together with a unique combination of intelligent four - wheel drive and electronic chassis safety systems gives an unrivalled drive. Whereas some SUV's have a tendancy to pitch and wallow through bends, Antara has been designed to offer rewarding car - like handling.
In everyday use the Antara operates as a normal front - wheel drive, offering the kind of driving dynamics and handling that most people are familiar with. When the Antara senses that extra traction is needed, it automatically switches to four - wheel drive. As well as giving the driver greater reassurance, the set - up delivers economy benefits over permanent four - wheel drive systems - delivering 37.7mpg on the combined cycle for the 2.0CDTi manual and producing 198g/km of CO2 - comparable to similarly sized hatchbacks and estates with petrol engines.
The Antara comes with a choice of petrol or diesel engines with both offering a five - speed manual gearbox as standard. Rare for this class, a five - speed automatic transmission is also avaialable (at extra cost) on the 2.0 CDTi diesel. Add to that the Antara's intelligent braking system that combines an Anti - lock braking system (ABS) with Hydraulic Brake Assist (HBA), Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD), and Cornering Brake Control (CBC), and you have one of the most complete driving systems around.
So if it's a strong, safe and comfortable performance, on and off the road that you're looking for then come and see us and try the Antara for yourself.
