Yep they are identical underneath mate

yeah, pretty much the same except chevy threw their toys out the pram about the 7 seats which is why the antara only omes in a 5 seat version

new version of the antara is out in feb witha 2.2 diesel and 6 speed box - 163 and 187 bhp versions available

The revised Antara will start at £3k less than the current one, which will knock used values a bit, so I'd be wary of buying a second hand one right now.

trouble is the disco has turned into a pimp wagon but it the same on the underside as the range sport so your getting a range sport for less cash ...go on landyzone and see what people say about em ......

Yes but thats for the base spec 2WD version, that shouldn't affect used 4WD versions too much.

Never understood why car manufacturers make 2WD SUVs. Chocolate teapot comes to mind
