Looks excellent, I would go for the SE Nav 163 and try to find one with a sunroof. I would compare it to the Ford Kuga in lots of ways. The Antara is probably a better tow car though.

Vauxhall Antara (2007-2015) Pros and Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Cheap as a used buy | Drab interior |
| Lots of standard equipment | Many rivals are more practical |
| Later diesel engines were punchy | Not that great on the road |
Quick Summary
The Vauxhall Antara (2007-2015) is an affordable five-seat SUV that majored on value when it arrived in UK showrooms. Entry-level models started at less than £20,000, offering excellent value for an SUV. Even basic E-specification models came well equipped with stability control, four-wheel drive, hill descent control, air-conditioning, and roof rails. The 2010 facelift brought a more prominent grille, improved interior finish, and updated safety kit. Boot space of 420 litres with rear seats upright and 1,420 litres when folded is modest for the class, and the interior feels low-rent compared to rivals.
The diesel engines are the pick of the range, with the later 2.2 CDTi units offering strong mid-range pull and improved efficiency. The 2.2 CDTi manual achieved official economy of 46.3mpg, though expect around 36mpg in real-world driving. The petrol is thirsty, averaging mid-20s mpg in everyday use. Running costs are middling for an SUV of this size, with insurance groups ranging from 19E to 28E and steep Vehicle Excise Duty bills. Reliability is a weakness, and the Antara is bland to drive, lacking the enjoyment of a Mazda CX-5 or the practicality of a Honda CR-V.
Best for: Budget-conscious buyers seeking an affordable five-seat SUV with plenty of standard equipment and those downsizing from larger vehicles.
Not ideal for: Drivers prioritising driving dynamics, practicality, reliability, or a premium interior finish, or those seeking better fuel economy than rivals.
Comparison vs Key Rivals
| Vehicle | CarGurus Expert Rating | CarGurus User Rating | Good/Great deals % | Overall CarGurus Rating |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vauxhall Antara | 3/5 | 4.6/5 | 35.7% | 4.0/5 |
| Ford Kuga | 3/5 | 4.6/5 | 46.7% | 4.3/5 |
| Toyota RAV4 | 4/5 | 4.7/5 | 34.3% | 4.3/5 |
| Honda CR-V Mk4 | 4/5 | 4.3/5 | 32.3% | 4.3/5 |
The Verdict
You should buy the Antara if: You're seeking an affordable five-seat SUV with plenty of standard equipment and are downsizing from a larger vehicle.
Consider alternatives if: You prioritise driving dynamics, practicality, reliability, a premium interior, or better fuel economy than rivals.
Competitive Position: The Vauxhall Antara (2007-2015) is an affordable entry point to SUV ownership, offering excellent value and generous standard equipment. However, it is outclassed by rivals in most areas. The Ford Kuga is more enjoyable to drive, whilst the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4 offer superior practicality and reliability. The Antara's bland driving experience, modest boot space, drab interior, and reliability concerns make it a compromise choice. If you want an SUV you can depend on, the Honda CR-V or Toyota RAV4 make considerably more sense. Good value the Antara may be, but you can buy better.
