Detailed analysis of the Opel Zafira Enjoy Plus 1.7 CDTi 125 CV (2011)
General description
The 2008 Opel Zafira, in its Enjoy Plus 1.7 CDTi 125 hp version, is presented as a family minivan that seeks to combine functionality with a touch of dynamism. With a price of €19,340 at its launch in April 2011, this vehicle is positioned as an attractive option for those who need space and versatility without sacrificing contained consumption.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel of the Zafira, the general feeling is one of solidity and comfort. The 1.7-liter 125 hp diesel engine, with its 280 Nm of torque, offers adequate response for daily use and long trips, although don't expect dazzling acceleration (0 to 100 km/h in 12.3 seconds). The six-speed manual gearbox allows good control over power delivery. The suspension, McPherson type at the front and torsional axle at the rear, filters road irregularities well, providing a smooth ride for all occupants. The rack-and-pinion steering, although without variable assistance, offers a good connection with the road, making driving predictable and safe. The combined consumption of 5.1 l/100km is a strong point, which translates into considerable autonomy thanks to its 58-liter tank.
Design and aesthetics
The design of the 2008 Opel Zafira is functional and timeless. Its lines are clean and its silhouette, although clearly that of a minivan, does not lack a certain elegance. With 4467 mm long, 1801 mm wide and 1635 mm high, it offers a robust presence on the road. The 16-inch wheels with 205/55 R16 tires complement its aesthetics. The interior, with capacity for seven seats, is designed to maximize space and modularity, a key aspect in this type of vehicle. The quality of the materials and adjustments are as expected in its segment, prioritizing durability and ease of use.
Technology and features
In the technology section, the 2008 Opel Zafira Enjoy Plus 1.7 CDTi incorporates the essentials for its time. Its common rail direct injection diesel engine, turbo with variable geometry and intercooler, is an example of efficiency. It complies with Euro 5 regulations, demonstrating its commitment to the environment. In terms of safety, it has 308 mm ventilated disc brakes at the front and 264 mm discs at the rear, ensuring effective braking. Although advanced driving assistance systems are not specified, its basic active and passive safety equipment is standard for its segment and year.
Competition
In the competitive compact minivan segment, the Opel Zafira faced tough rivals such as the Renault Grand Scénic, the Ford Grand C-MAX or the Volkswagen Touran. Each offered its own advantages in terms of design, equipment or modularity, but the Zafira stood out for its overall balance, its efficient diesel engine and its reputation for reliability.
Conclusion
The 2008 Opel Zafira Enjoy Plus 1.7 CDTi 125 hp is a minivan that more than meets the expectations of a family looking for a spacious, versatile and economical vehicle to use. Its practical design, efficient diesel engine and driving comfort make it a very sensible option. Although it is not the fastest or the most luxurious, its balance between performance, consumption and habitability make it a reliable and pleasant travel companion.
