Used Vauxhall Antara Centre Console

The Vauxhall Antara was sold in the UK from 2006 to 2015, with a notable facelift arriving in 2011 that updated both the exterior and interior, including the centre console area. Parts from a pre-facelift Antara (2006–2010) are unlikely to be a straight swap into a post-facelift model (2011–2015) due to changes in trim and fitment points, and vice versa. Always confirm the exact year of the donor vehicle with the breaker against your registration to be sure.

Yes, all variants of the Vauxhall Antara were fitted with a centre console as standard — it runs between the front seats and typically houses the gear lever, storage compartments, and in many trims the handbrake. The Antara was only ever sold as a five-door SUV in the UK, so there are no body-style variations to worry about. You can search with confidence knowing the part exists on this model.

The Antara was offered in trim levels including S, SE, and Elite (among others across its lifespan), and while the fundamental shape and fitment of the centre console is broadly consistent within a generation, higher trims such as Elite could feature different finishes, leather wrapping, or additional switchgear cutouts compared to base trims. This means a console from a different trim may fit physically but could look noticeably different or be missing features relevant to your car. Check the trim level of the donor vehicle with your breaker to avoid cosmetic mismatches.

No — the engine fitted to your Vauxhall Antara does not affect centre console fitment, whether you have the 2.0 CDTi diesel, the 2.4 petrol, or any other option. Interior parts like the centre console are matched by generation and trim level, not drivetrain. Focus your search on finding a console from the correct year range and trim instead.

This question crosses the 2011 facelift boundary, which brought interior revisions to the Antara, so a direct swap between a pre-facelift console (up to 2010) and a post-facelift car (2011 onwards) is not straightforward. There may be differences in mounting points, surrounding trim integration, or controls layout that prevent a clean fit. Confirm compatibility with your breaker by providing both registrations before purchasing.

The centre console on the Antara is generally considered a DIY-friendly interior job — it involves removing trim clips and screws rather than any safety-critical components, provided you are not dealing with anything connected to the airbag system. If your console replacement involves disconnecting any wiring for heated seats or switchgear, take care to disconnect the battery first and consult a guide for your specific year. If in any doubt, a local garage or auto-electrician can fit it quickly and inexpensively.
