Opel Zafira, Vivaro

Opel Zafira, Vivaro cover two very different jobs under one badge: Zafira has long been the people-mover side, while Vivaro is the work van for cargo and business use. By our assessment, the strength of the pair is that Opel gives the same practical, upright thinking to both — easy access, useful space, and body styles that are made to carry either passengers or load. The downside is that neither name exists to be exciting; the focus is packaging and utility, so road feel and flair sit behind day-to-day usefulness. In practice, these are the kinds of vehicles people notice for what they can fit, not for what they say about the driver. They sit in the crowded MPV-and-van world where Renault, Peugeot, Citroën and similar rivals set the rules. Someone who wants straightforward carrying space gets the point quickly; someone chasing polish or prestige should look elsewhere.
