Carbon82 Moderator June 1, 2016 Share June 1, 2016 Opel Grand Zafira Facelift The dynamic new headlamp design together with a completely new, more markedly sporty upper and lower grille set the tone for the design of the new Zafira. The front headlamps melt into the radiator grille to form a graphic unity. The sculptural chrome logo bar blends optically into the headlights enhancing the impression of width. In addition, the typical, precisely chiseled 'Opel double wing' daytime running lights characterize the new light cluster design. The wheels are housed under a muscular wheel arch. All of this gives the new Zafira front a solid, sporty and dynamic appearance. On the inside, the new Zafira comes with a completely redesigned cockpit, now with a simpler, more elegant layout. The new design not only optimizes forward visibility, but also ensures the display and controls all sit within an optimal reach zone. The screen of the infotainment system that used to sit at the top of the center console has been replaced with a new, lower and integrated touchscreen that allowed for many buttons to be eliminated. The switches are now integrated precisely into the overall design. Framed by a galvanized u-shaped décor, the new 7-inch up-level touchscreen systems have been executed with quality inspired by top-of-the-range tablets. The new, three-dimensionally sculptured steering wheel with the small and efficiently packaged airbag cover is designed to not only look great, but to also put ergonomics in the forefront. Opel will offer two latest generation IntelliLink infotainment systems for the new Zafira. R4.0 IntelliLink will bring the world of smartphones to the travelling lounge, offering both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. Furthermore, Opel will offer Navi 950 IntelliLink for customers looking for an infotainment system with on-board navigation. And of course, in addition, Opel OnStar is available in the new Zafira with Automatic Crash Response and many other features including Destination Download (with Navi 950) and 4G LTE Wi-Fi Hotspot where available (enables connecting up to seven devices, one for each of the seven persons onboard). This results in a real plus for family travels or professionals who want to stay as connected as possible during their travels. Opel engineers have once again followed Opel's strategy of making innovative technology available to a broad group of buyers by introducing new Adaptive Forward Lighting LED headlamps. The new AFL LED system automatically adapts the lighting patterns of the headlamps to the driving situation so that the optimum light performance is given without dazzling other drivers. It features nine different functions/lighting patterns such as town light, country light, a curve and cornering function, backing-up maneuvering light, a stop mode light (eco) and tourist mode. Furthermore, the new generation of the Opel Eye front camera has a positive impact on all the driver assistance functions it supports, including the High Beam Assist of the AFL LED lighting system and the Traffic Sign Assistant. Following Distance Indication (FDI) also utilizes the front camera to detect moving vehicles ahead, whereas Forward Collision Alert provides visible and audible caution alerts when the distance between the car and the vehicle ahead diminishes too quickly. Lane Departure Warning is activated automatically at speeds over 60 km/h and warns the driver, in case the lane is left unintentionally with a telltale in the instrument panel and an audible warning. Two further features available in the new Zafira that increase comfort and reduce stress are Adaptive Cruise Control and FlexRide. Enabled by a radar located behind the front grille, the Adaptive Cruise Control helps the driver to maintain the selected speed while keeping a pre-set distance to the vehicle ahead. In addition to speed, the desired gap to the vehicle ahead can also be selected by the driver - with three options available: far, medium, near. Elsewhere, the adaptive mechatronic FlexRide chassis continuously adapts vehicle behavior to the driving situation, driving style and the individual preferences of the driver. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like another facelift again. Side view exactly the same as current Estima, even the rim also the same. Only change bumper design and rear lamp. If engine still the same old school vvti 2.4 with cvt which is so under power, then forget it... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvenStar 1st Gear June 3, 2016 Share June 3, 2016 The current 3rd Gen Estima has been around since 2006, any amount of facelift will not save the car. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carbon82 Moderator June 3, 2016 Share June 3, 2016 I guess many Japanese auto manufacturer are at the crossroad now, deciding if they should spend R&D dollar on MPV (demand on declined for the pass few years) or SUV / Crossover (demand increased by 2 fold or more within the same period). Look at Honda, which stop the Stream and Elyson, Mazda stopping its Mazda 5 & 8 soon, and Nissan no longer producing Lafesta itself. And Toyota has many MPV in it product lineup, and I would be least suprise if they decided to kill some model in the next few years. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvenStar 1st Gear June 3, 2016 Share June 3, 2016 I believe family size in developing countries are still relatively big, hence there are still market for MPV but due to consumer buying power in these countries, the trend will be on small and compact MPV. Furthermore, buyer will look at practicality over style and quality. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
