the chassis of The Opel is emphasized comfortable. An optional air suspension there is not. The two-litre Diesel is already in the low speed areas of a very powerful on-the-go. The Opel Zafira Life can you get with an all-wheel drive from Dangel. The automatic transmission is convinced, however, of the four-cylinder works relatively loudly. The standard fuel consumption is depending on the wheels, weight, and body version between 7.0 and 8.1 litres of Diesel.

Variable interior
the interior of The Opel Zafira Life was highly variable – here, Opel has learned. The Transporter is to get five, six, seven and eight Seats; on request also with leather interior.

Despite the name of equality, friends of the old Zafira with the new alignment is not likely to be satisfied. More size does not necessarily mean more joy. A Transporter of this size always remains unwieldy. Also, the price jump to the old Zafira is phenomenal. For old Zafira to friends of the Combo Life is likely to be more interesting. The is a number of small and the Opel variant of the group-siblings Peugeot Rifter and Citroën Berlingo.
The Zafira ‘Life’ is an offer for all, the dream of a Multivan, but a little less than VW want to pay.
