Opel, the German automaker that is part of Stellantis, has recently unveiled its new electric version of the Zafira, a versatile and spacious family car. The Zafira Electric is based on the same platform as the Opel Combo Electric, another electric people carrier from Opel. Both models share the same bold and pure design language, the Opel Vizor, which features a distinctive grille and LED headlights. The Zafira Electric also offers a choice of two battery ranges: 350 km (WLTP) or 400 km (WLTP), depending on the trim level. The Opel Combo Electric has a slightly longer range of up to 330 km (WLTP).
A Family Car with Plenty of Space and Comfort
The Opel Zafira Electric is not only an electric car but also a family car that can accommodate up to nine passengers in three rows. The first row has two individual seats that can be folded down to create more space for luggage or children. The second row has three individual seats that can also be folded down or removed to increase the load volume from 1,600 liters to 1,900 liters. The third row has two individual seats that can be accessed by sliding them forward or backward. The Zafira Electric also has a panoramic roof with electrically activated sun protection and versatile overhead storage.
The interior of the Zafira Electric is designed to offer comfort and convenience for both drivers and passengers. The dashboard features a fully digital cockpit with a 10-inch color touchscreen that supports wireless smartphone connection and inductive charging. The touchscreen also provides access to various infotainment systems, such as navigation, music, phone calls, and vehicle settings. The driver can also use voice commands or steering wheel controls to interact with the system.
