The family MPV Opel Zafira is available with a new 2.2-liter diesel engine, in addition to the electric version.
The Opel Zafira, a versatile MPV, is offered with two types of engines: a 100% electric version with zero local emissions and a latest-generation 2.2-liter diesel engine.
The diesel engine develops 132 kW (180 hp) and 400 Nm of torque, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. It allows the vehicle to reach a top speed of 185 km/h and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 10.6 seconds. According to the WLTP cycle, its combined fuel consumption ranges between 6.8 and 7.1 l/100 km, with CO₂ emissions of 178 to 186 g/km, corresponding to a CO₂ label of G.
A better Diesel?
This engine, compliant with the Euro 6e standard, features optimized direct injection and an improved exhaust gas recirculation system, which helps reduce consumption and emissions compared to previous versions. It is also available on the Opel Vivaro Combi and Vivaro vans.
The Zafira is offered in two lengths: 4.98 m for the standard version and 5.33 m for the XL version. The MPV can accommodate up to nine passengers and has four independent seats facing each other in the rear. The hands-free sliding side doors facilitate access to the second and third rows.
