What is the Vauxhall Zafira?
The Zafira is a family people carrier built around flexible seating. Its Flex7 system let the rear seats fold into the floor, so the cabin could switch between carrying passengers and making room for luggage. The Zafira helped establish the compact seven-seat MPV as a practical family format.
Zafira generations
The Zafira A ran from 1999 to 2005 and introduced the Flex7 seating concept. The Zafira B followed from 2005 to 2014, developing the same flexible interior idea. The Zafira C, also known as the Tourer, ran from 2011 to 2018 as a larger take on the people carrier, with an updated seating concept.
