Detailed analysis of the Opel Zafira Tourer Excellence 2.0 CDTI 130 CV 7 plazas (2011-2012)
General description
The 2012 Opel Zafira Tourer, in its Excellence 2.0 CDTI 130 hp 7-seater version, is presented as a family minivan that seeks to combine versatility with a touch of distinction. With a 131 hp diesel engine and a 6-speed manual transmission, this vehicle promises efficiency and adequate performance for daily use and long journeys. Its design, although functional, tries to go a step further than purely practical, offering a spacious and adaptable cabin to the needs of a large family.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel of the Zafira Tourer, the feeling is one of solidity and comfort. The 131 hp diesel engine, with its 300 Nm of torque, offers an adequate response to move its 7 seats with agility, even with a load. The acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 11.4 seconds is not dazzling, but it is sufficient for safe merging and overtaking. The top speed of 191 km/h is more than respectable for a vehicle in its category. The suspension, McPherson type at the front and trailing arm with torsion beam at the rear, filters out road irregularities well, providing a smooth and pleasant ride. The speed-sensitive electric power steering contributes to precise and comfortable driving, both in the city and on the highway. The combined consumption of 5.2 l/100km is a strong point, making this Zafira Tourer an economical option for daily use.
Design and aesthetics
The design of the 2012 Opel Zafira Tourer moves away from the squarer lines of traditional minivans to adopt a more dynamic and fluid aesthetic. Its 4658 mm length and 1884 mm width give it an imposing presence on the road. The distinctive front headlights and front grille give it its own personality. Inside, versatility is key, with a cabin designed to maximize space and comfort for all seven occupants. The trunk, with a minimum capacity of 710 liters, is one of the most generous in its segment, ideal for families who need to transport a lot of luggage. The materials and finishes, although functional, aim to offer a feeling of quality and durability.
Technology and features
In terms of technology, the 2012 Zafira Tourer incorporates elements that, for its time, were quite advanced. The 131 hp 2.0 CDTI engine features common rail direct injection, variable geometry turbo, and intercooler, which optimizes its performance and efficiency. The speed-sensitive electric power steering improves the driving experience. Although it does not have state-of-the-art driving assistance systems, its equipment focuses on passive safety and occupant comfort. The suspension, with a front stabilizer bar, contributes to greater stability in curves. The ventilated front disc brakes and rear disc brakes guarantee effective and safe braking.
Competition
The 2012 Opel Zafira Tourer faced tough competition in the 7-seater minivan segment. Its main rivals included models such as the Ford Grand C-Max, the Renault Grand Scénic, the Volkswagen Touran, and the Citroën Grand C4 Picasso. Each of them offered its own advantages in terms of design, equipment, or modularity, but the Zafira Tourer stood out for its balance between space, ride comfort, and the efficiency of its diesel engine, in addition to a design that sought to differentiate itself from the competition.
Conclusion
The 2012 Opel Zafira Tourer Excellence 2.0 CDTI 130 hp 7-seater is a minivan that more than meets the expectations of a family looking for space, comfort, and economy of use. Its diesel engine offers a good compromise between performance and consumption, and its modular cabin is a strong point for those who need versatility. Although its design may not be the most avant-garde, its functionality and the quality of its finishes make it a very interesting option within its segment. It is a car designed to make life easier for families, offering a pleasant and safe journey on every trip.
