THEPel has now settled in quite well into his new French family. The flash is still so bright that the new Zafira is perceived as an Opel, although technically it is a pure PSA product. But it is at the Opel dealer, it says Opel and the melodious model name Zafira. It started out as a compact minivan more than 20 years ago and did a lot to ensure that the brand didn’t go completely down the drain. In 2020 the Zafira was taken off the market to be quickly returned as a minibus.
There are three lengths on offer: 4.60, 4.95 and 5.31 meters. The majority of customers will opt for the Mittelweg, which truly offers enough space for up to nine passengers. In any case, 5.31 meters is too much for everyday life, our narrow cities and standard garages. Four diesel variants and the all-electric version moved by the editorial team are available. If you only want to be on the move with electricity, you should keep your hands off the 4.60-meter Zafira: For reasons of space, it is only available with a 50-kWh battery, and for us the 75-kWh battery in the 4.95er already fulfilled -Model does not meet the range requirements. It was only about 200 kilometers in autumnal temperatures, even at a much reduced travel speed. Length, height and 2.2 tons weight are reflected in the consumption. An average of 36.3 kWh per 100 kilometers is far too much, so the mouse won’t bite off a thread. And we were traveling gently, always using only 110 km / h as the cruising speed on the autobahn. More than 130 km / h would not be possible anyway, since Opel has drawn a limit.
