The Vauxhall Zafira, launched in 1999, was a compact MPV (Multi-Purpose Vehicle) designed to offer spacious and versatile seating for families. It was built on the same platform as the Opel Astra, sharing many of its mechanical components. The Zafira was available with a range of petrol and diesel engines, offering different power outputs to cater to various needs. Its key selling point was its innovative "Flex7" seating system, which allowed the rear seats to be folded flat or removed entirely, transforming the car into a practical van-like space. This flexibility, coupled with its car-like handling and relatively affordable price, made the Zafira a popular choice for families and individuals looking for a roomy and versatile vehicle. The 1998-2000 model years of the Vauxhall Zafira marked the first generation of this popular MPV. It featured a distinctive styling with a high roofline and large windows, offering a spacious and airy interior. This generation was offered with a range of petrol engines, including the 1.6L, 1.8L, and 2.0L units, as well as a 2.0L turbocharged diesel engine. The 1998-2000 Zafira was praised for its comfortable ride, spacious cabin, and user-friendly interior. However, it also faced criticism for its relatively high fuel consumption and some reported issues with reliability. Despite these shortcomings, the first-generation Zafira established itself as a solid performer in the compact MPV market, paving the way for the success of its later iterations.
