Inside, the Zafira Electric offers a spacious and comfortable environment. The ergonomic cockpit includes an optional 10-inch digital driver information center (standard on GS) and new infotainment systems with a 10-inch color touchscreen. These systems use Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Cockpit and Auto Connectivity platforms, enabling advanced multimedia and connectivity functions like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and 4G. The vehicle also supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as inductive smartphone charging.
Performance and Efficiency
The Zafira Electric is powered by a 100 kW (136 hp) electric motor with a maximum torque of 260 Nm, allowing for quick acceleration and a top speed of 130 km/h. It offers three driving modes: Normal, Eco, and Power. The vehicle comes with two battery options: a 50 kWh battery and a 75 kWh battery, providing a range of up to 347 kilometers (WLTP). The Zafira Electric also features a regenerative braking system with three recuperation levels, enhancing energy efficiency.
Charging the Zafira Electric is convenient and quick. Using the standard 11 kW onboard charger, the vehicle can be charged with alternating current (AC). At a 100 kW DC fast charging station, the 50 kWh battery can be charged to 80% in around 38 minutes, while the 75 kWh battery takes about 45 minutes.

The Zafira Electric includes up to 18 advanced driver assistance systems, such as adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go function and a high-resolution 180-degree rearview camera (standard on GS). Additional safety features include Intelli-Grip with hill descent assist, full-LED headlights, and various sensors for easier maneuvering and enhanced traction on difficult surfaces like snow, mud, or sand.
