The Opel Antara, produced from 2006 to 2011, was a compact crossover SUV that aimed to capture a segment of the market increasingly seeking a blend of practicality and style. This first-generation Antara was built on the GM Theta platform, sharing its underpinnings with the Chevrolet Captiva and the Daewoo Winstorm. While marketed as an Opel in Europe, it was sold under different badges in other parts of the world, including Saturn in North America and Holden in Australia.

The Antara was available with a range of petrol and diesel engines, paired with either a five-speed manual or a six-speed automatic transmission. It offered front-wheel drive as standard, with all-wheel drive being optional. Despite its relatively compact size, the Antara offered a spacious interior with seating for five and a decent cargo space. It was equipped with a range of features, including air conditioning, cruise control, and an optional sunroof. However, the Antara was criticized for its relatively bland interior design and its handling, which some felt was overly soft and lacking engagement. Nevertheless, it offered a comfortable ride and decent fuel economy, making it a practical choice for families and individuals looking for a reliable and versatile vehicle.
