Appropriate force distribution
While the front wheels are also responsible for four-wheel drive Opel Antara, the driving current is continuously recorded and compared between electronic stability control and CCIC (CES) on parameters such as wheel speed, the angle turning and throttle position.
If traction inadequate threatening to cause the front axle slip, the system responds in 0.1 seconds, a clear redistribution of power. According to driving conditions and the external environment, the range extends from the energy distribution of 100 percent front-wheel drive and 50 percent in both front and rear axles, and all variations in between.
New configuration: Enhanced agility and ride comfort more
A wide range of changes and refine the current measures have given the dynamic Opel Antara and more agility, which increases driving pleasure and ride quality.
The changes include optimization McPherson front axle with spring rates have increased, and a new upper leg frame, which is milder in the horizontal and vertical, but more rigid at the diagonal. In combination with a modified discharge disposition and a stabilizer bar reinforced and extended bearing softer bushings, providing increased roll stiffness, a more direct feel and improved ride comfort.
The multilink rear suspension, with three transverse and one exhaust on each side, has also been redesigned and improved. The arms are now rear hydraulic damping for better structural insulation. Optimized leg mounts and coil springs with increased rates of spring also reduce the impact of road shock. In combination with a stabilizer bar, a wide track (1569 mm front, 1576 mm rear) and the wheelbase is a time for this class of vehicle (2707 mm) and thus ensure an improved road contact, better stability driving comfort and better balanced suspension.
New Antara rate associated with rack and pinion steering system characteristics changed the steering gear and the links established between the shaft with the ball guide. What would increase the rigidity of the system not only provides accurate feedback the driver of the vehicle, but also requires a little effort while driving.
The elegant full braking system also meets the high demands of active safety and excellent driving dynamics of the chassis. Large front, ventilated discs and rear brakes are combined with an optimized four-channel ABS and Brake Assist function to ensure that inspires the confidence of a slowdown in all times and under all road conditions.

Far-reaching measures for the maximum acoustic comfort
Other invisible, but the most notable innovations in the years 2011 Opel Antara model include a wide range of measures designed to insulate against noise and vibrations. This includes:
Hydraulic motor bearings (the movement of engine vibration at idle)
Linking wheel drive components (transmission noise)
Electronically controlled AWD (sound transmission)
Marco (the transmission of road noise)
Front of the frame (as amended by the support points)
Spray the front wall (insulating the engine noise)
On the intake and exhaust (flow noise)
The structure of the upper body (low-frequency noise)
Windshield with additional stratification (engine and wind noise)
Door rubber seals (engine and wind noise)
Body seals (wind noise)
The body water repellent (wind noise)
Behind the body area (isolation of noise from the trunk)
Other NVH (noise, vibration and harshness) measures to ensure acoustic comfort, Opel Antara is in front of the console, pillars C and D, ships wheel and roof, steering wheel, gear doors and finishes. Efforts made by the acoustic experts will lead to a convincing result: significant interior noise level of the new Opel Antara fell more than 3 dB (A), and then more than half.
The performance characteristics of the avionics were also improved. They now include systems for effective control of the electricity system on board and the state of battery charge ("CVR" Regulated Voltage Control) and for optimizing the noise isolation and efficiency energy of the fan motor in the diesel versions (w "PWM" pulse modulated).
High passive safety
Complementing the chassis and support "large reserves of active safety, the Opel Antara also offers a comprehensive passive safety features. They are based on a rigid body structure, comprising 37 percent of high-strength steel.
The side of the beam, the crossbar and the front axle, a panel member support tools and solid reinforced doors before you distribute the collision energy of a collision along the optimized load paths, helping to prevent deformation passengers. B-pillars in the construction of custom metal blank sheet of variable thickness to provide security in case of side impact. A reinforced structure in the rear with large longitudinal beams and a fuel tank located in front of the rear axle to round out the security measures of the body.
In the case of minor accidents on the front of the box low-speed crash and subsequent special collision energy absorption, thus reducing the potential repair costs. Opel has also taken the necessary precautions in terms of long-term quality: all areas exposed to corrosion of the body are galvanized on both sides.
