A new and practical idea was implemented by the Opel design team in the form of the Snowtrekker´s panorama roof which is made of heat-insulating safety glass. It allows an unimpaired view outwards and ensures that there is a maximum of natural light at all six seats.

In the middle of the roof there is an integrated luggage box, measuring two meters in length, 140 mm in height and 400 mm in width. It has two compartments which are accessible from the inside of the vehicle. The smaller compartment may be used by front seat passengers, just as on a plane.

The Zafira Snowtrekker prototype provides an outlook into the Opel future not only in terms of design language but also in technology.
This apples particularly to the 2.2 litre ECOTEC DIRECT concept engine. The gasoline direct injection engine is based on the all-new four-cylinder alloy engine generation which is being deployed globally by GM in different versions. The 2.2 16V 147 HP with
dual balance shafts, which are integrated in the engine block to ensure particularly smooth running, already meets the strict Euro IV emissions standard which will apply as of 2005.
