Opel Zafira Life went by many names. Also called Vauxhall Zafira (UK), Chevrolet Zafira

Opel Zafira Family, Chevrolet Nabira (Malaysia), Holden Zafira (Australia and New Zealand),

Subaru Traviq (Japan) Vauxhall Zafira (UK), Opel Zafira Family, Opel Zafira tourer, Vauxhall Zafira tourer and now we know it as a Opel Zafira Life.


The first generation Zafira was co-developed with Porsche and introduced as a concept car at the 1997 Frankfurt Auto Show and entered series production in January 1999. When it comes to the market Zafira was marketed in the Philippines from 2001 to 2005, but it was sold as a Chevrolet Zafira. It was sold alongside other Opel vehicles until the name Opel was pulled out of the market by the distributor, GM (as in General Motors?).


Again, from 2000 to 2005, Opel Zafira was produced and sold in Thailand alongside other Opel vehicles until it got pulled out of the market by GM. And in Japan from August 2001 to 2004 Zafira got to be sold as a Subaru Traviq, but it created conflict with Yanase dealerships, as Yanesa was selling other Opel vehicles like Zafira. This is what I wanted you to read. From the outside, it seems like Opel Zafira was always oppressed; look at the mystery of the Opel Corsa Utility.



Zafira from 2005 got dominated by the fire incidents. So we moved to Zafira tourer, production started in 2011. With upgrades with some that align with the current features on the Opel Zafira Life 2023, such as new front and rear bumpers and new interior, complete with 4G LTE hotspot, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto compatibility, adaptive LED headlights, "Opel Eye" front camera, high beam assist, traffic sign assist, forward collision warning, lane departure warning and adaptive cruise control.


As we're still on the features, let's introduce the latest Opel Zafira Life.


If you seek Elegance, it starts From: R946 900 but for safety and something fun for your family, Edition starts From: R819 000.



8 seater with back and forward slides on the second and third seat row to create extra legroom. Electric sliding doors on both sides for easy access and exits. I've been living under a rock, with a keyless open and start system as long as you have keys nearby, now I'm thinking. What happens when you're in South Africa, because you're near your car and someone is able to open your car and start it, will it stop moving?


Zafira it's 1,9m high and gives a balance between spacious and highly flexible interior. With a tailgate window access for loading smaller items. Considering smaller items, headlights smart beam system switches between high dipped beams automatically, to avoid blinding other drivers, but it comes with airbags (for the driver, passengers, side airbags and for all three rows) just in case the other drivers blind you.


Suitable for 6 child seats, and next, I wonder if this feature it's as I thought it would be to control speed. Opel Zafira Life has a rear camera enabling safety systems such as speed sign recognition, with a auto-cruise control that lowers or stores your speed to maintain a set distance. Lane departure warning to recognise when the car drifts lanes.


The engine offers upto to 110 kW, lower running Cost and reduced emissions. Find directions and music on Zafira Life's 7. With a dual-zone auto-climate control on the front and rear, massage seat functions but only available for driver and front passenger.


I can't afford it but because Trancery promotes Clinca on social media, Opel Corsa Utility was mentioned concerning it's designs being similar to a Chevrolet utility and wondered which one was real, now I have a clue.
