Coolant is a liquid added to a car engine's radiator to prevent an excess build-up of heat, that is, to keep the engine running cool. Antifreeze can be a substance added to coolant to prevent it from freezing in cold temperatures. In modern cars, antifreeze and coolant are one and the same product.
