Detailed analysis of the Opel Zafira-e Life M Business Edition 100 kW (136 CV) 75 kWh · 136 CV (2021-2023)
General description
The Opel Zafira-e Life M Business Edition 100 kW (136 hp) 75 kWh (2021-2023) is an interesting proposition for those looking for a family or passenger transport vehicle with a '0 emissions' label. With a price of €53,916, this electric minivan offers a sustainable and spacious alternative in the current market. Its 8-seater configuration and its 317 km range according to the WLTP cycle position it as an option to consider for urban and medium-distance journeys.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel of the Zafira-e Life, the predominant sensation is one of smoothness and silence. The power delivery of the 136 hp electric motor is linear and without jerks, which contributes to a relaxed and comfortable drive, ideal for transporting passengers. The acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 13.3 seconds is not blistering, but sufficient for the type of vehicle it is. The top speed of 130 km/h is adequate for most situations, although on the highway it may feel somewhat limited. The suspension, McPherson type at the front and trailing arm with independent wheels at the rear, absorbs road irregularities well, offering a good compromise between comfort and stability. The electric power steering is precise and facilitates maneuvers in the city, despite its almost 5 meters in length. The turning circle of 12.4 meters is reasonable for its size. The battery located in the central part contributes to a low center of gravity, which improves stability in curves.
Design and aesthetics
The exterior design of the Opel Zafira-e Life M is functional and robust, without great aesthetic flourishes, but with an imposing presence. Its dimensions of 4956 mm long, 1920 mm wide and 1890 mm high give it a classic minivan silhouette, optimized for interior space. The 5 doors facilitate access to all seats. Inside, the priority is habitability and versatility. With 8 seats, it offers multiple configurations to adapt to cargo or passenger needs. The trunk, with a minimum of 1000 liters, is generous, making it a perfect ally for long trips or for transporting bulky items. The finishes are correct, with materials that seek durability and ease of cleaning, thinking about its intensive use.
Technology and features
The technology of the Opel Zafira-e Life focuses on its electric propulsion. It is equipped with a 75 kWh capacity battery, which gives it a range of 317 km according to the WLTP cycle. Fast charging is one of its strong points, allowing it to recharge from 10% to 80% in direct current (DC) in just 48 minutes, thanks to a maximum power of 100 kW. In alternating current (AC), a full charge requires 23 hours with a power of 11 kW. The 136 hp electric motor and 260 Nm of torque offer an immediate and efficient response. The single-ratio automatic transmission simplifies driving. In terms of safety, it has ventilated disc brakes both front and rear, and stabilizers on both axles for better control. Electric power steering is a key element for driving comfort.
Competition
In the segment of electric minivans, the Opel Zafira-e Life competes with models such as the Mercedes-Benz EQV, the Volkswagen ID. Buzz or the Citroën ë-Spacetourer. Compared to them, the Zafira-e Life offers a good quality-price ratio, especially in its Business Edition version. Its range and fast charging capacity are competitive, although some rivals may offer greater performance or a more avant-garde design. However, its practical approach and ample interior space make it a very attractive option for large families or transport companies.
Conclusion
The Opel Zafira-e Life M Business Edition 100 kW (136 hp) 75 kWh (2021-2023) is an electric vehicle that more than fulfills its purpose: to offer spacious, comfortable and sustainable transport. Its 317 km range and fast charging capability make it viable for daily use and weekend getaways. While its performance is not sporty, its smooth ride and silence are highly valued qualities in a vehicle of these characteristics. It is a smart option for those looking for an electric minivan without sacrificing practicality and space, with the advantage of the '0 emissions' label and the benefits that this entails.
