Holden Zafira

The Holden Zafira was the Holden-badged Australian version of the first generation Opel Zafira, a seven-seat compact multi-purpose vehicle that Opel developed from the Astra platform and produced from 1999. The Zafira A was co-developed with Porsche, debuted in concept form at the 1997 Frankfurt Auto Show and entered series production in January 1999 with sales from April of that year. It shared the T platform with the Astra G and offered seven seats in three rows, using the Flex 7 system in which the split back seat folded into the floor. Opel marketed the Zafira under the Holden marque in Australia until June 2005. Zafira A production ended on 25 May 2005 in Bochum, and the model was cancelled altogether in Australia and New Zealand rather than replaced by the Zafira B.
