The Vauxhall Zafira, produced between 1998 and 2000, was a compact MPV (multi-purpose vehicle) that made a significant impact on the European automotive landscape. It was Vauxhall's first foray into the MPV segment, and it quickly gained popularity for its spacious interior, versatility, and relative affordability. The Zafira's design was a significant departure from traditional MPVs, prioritizing a more car-like driving experience with a sporty, aerodynamic profile. This was achieved through its relatively low roofline for an MPV, creating a more streamlined appearance. Inside, the Zafira offered a unique "Flex7" seating system, allowing for seven passengers to be accommodated, complete with a fold-down third-row seat. This versatility made the Zafira a popular choice for families and individuals seeking a practical yet stylish vehicle. Under the hood, the first-generation Zafira was offered with a range of petrol and diesel engines, catering to diverse needs. The petrol options ranged from the 1.6-liter engine producing 100 hp to the 2.0-liter engine with 136 hp, while the diesel lineup consisted of a 2.0-liter unit generating 100 hp. The Zafira's reliability and fuel efficiency contributed to its success, making it a strong contender in the competitive MPV market.
