Overview
Get ready for the 2025 Opel Zafira-e L2 50 kWh, a super practical electric minivan that's all about hauling your crew or cargo in zero-emission style! While not officially slated for American shores, this L2 (medium length) version with its 50 kWh battery pack aims to be a versatile workhorse. Its key strengths are its configurable seating for up to nine and generous interior space. Official US pricing is unavailable as the Zafira-e is not currently sold in the US market, but it represents an interesting take on the people-mover EV concept.
What's New for 2025?
For 2025, this Zafira-e sports a fresh look, rocking Opel's signature "Vizor" front-end design, giving it a more modern and sleek appearance. Inside, the tech gets a serious upgrade with a new 10-inch digital instrument cluster and a matching 10-inch central touchscreen for the infotainment system. This system now supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, making connectivity a breeze. Expect improved cabin materials and potentially more clever storage solutions, enhancing its family-friendly appeal, even if the core powertrain remains the trusty 50 kWh setup.
Design & Exterior
The 2025 Zafira-e L2 50 kWh combines van-like practicality with Opel's new, sharper design language. The standout "Vizor" grille integrates headlights and the brand logo into a single striking element. It’s a big box, but a stylish one! Dimensions for this L2 version come in at a substantial 196.1 inches long, 75.7 inches wide (excluding mirrors), and 75.2 inches tall, ensuring plenty of presence. Expect functional wheel designs and lighting appropriate for its utility focus, with the L2 body offering a good balance of interior space and maneuverability.
Interior, Tech & Cargo
Step inside the Zafira-e L2 50 kWh, and you'll find a massively flexible cabin. This trim can seat a whole squad, with configurations for 5, 6, 7, 8, or even 9 occupants! Material quality is geared towards durability, perfect for family life or commercial duties. Cargo-wise, you get 19.4 cubic feet behind the rear seats, expanding to a cavernous 113 cubic feet with them folded. No frunk here, though. The dash is now dominated by dual 10-inch screens for instruments and infotainment, featuring wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Performance & Driving Experience
The Zafira-e L2 50 kWh isn't about blistering speed, but smooth, silent progress. Its Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) delivers 100 kW (around 134 hp) and a healthy 192 lb-ft of instant torque to the front wheels. Acceleration from 0-60 mph takes a leisurely 10.4 seconds, with a top speed of 81 mph – ample for urban and suburban duties. Expect a comfortable, compliant ride geared towards passenger comfort. Regenerative braking helps recoup energy, and its van-like proportions mean a commanding view of the road.
Range, Battery & Charging
Powering the Zafira-e L2 is a 46.3 kWh usable battery pack. Green Cars Compare calculates a real-world range estimate of around 119 miles, with an efficiency of 2.57 mi/kWh. For AC charging, it boasts a robust 11 kW on-board charger, which could top up the battery in roughly 4-5 hours. If you're hitting a DC fast charger, it can pull up to 100 kW, zapping the battery from 10-80% in about 30 minutes. For US compatibility, it would likely feature a CCS Type 1 port.
Safety & Driver-Assistance Features
While official US NHTSA safety ratings are unavailable as it's not sold stateside, and the latest Euro NCAP score for this specific 2025 EV variant isn't out, expect a suite of modern driver aids. Standard features would likely include automatic emergency braking, lane keeping assist, and driver attention alert. Depending on the configuration, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, and traffic sign recognition could be available, enhancing peace of mind for this family and cargo hauler on those long treks or school runs.
Warranty & Maintenance Coverage
If the Opel Zafira-e L2 50 kWh were to land in the US, it would likely adopt a warranty similar to other Stellantis EVs. This could mean a basic vehicle warranty of around 3 years/36,000 miles, with the crucial battery pack covered for 8 years/100,000 miles, guaranteeing at least 70% of its original capacity. The electric powertrain might also get a 5-year/60,000-mile coverage. Complimentary maintenance is less common for Stellantis brands in the US, but EV maintenance is generally lower thanks to fewer moving parts.
