This is one MPV that makes itself prominent from others in this class due to its elegant exterior and lavish interior. Although the prices has gone up due to additions made in the new upgrade, but still if you want the less expensive version, go for the older version which is not being discontinued with the launch of new one. Not only these features but the engine also gets more power and the ride has become improved all in all. New Vauxhall Zafira has put a lot of effort in improving the vehicle and making it one of the up-market Zafira.
As an MPV, Vauxhall Zafira has a good drive quality. The steering compliments its master and executes good manners in particular on the motorway. It means if compared, then speeding is much loved by this engine and its suspension rather than slower speeds.
Body lean is ignorable at the corners making the body keep its equilibrium in any type of turn and bump. As a high roof, the suspension is placed well to carry on an even journey preventing undue shudder in the cabin.
The engine choice is straight forward for Tourer with only one petrol engine which is of 1.4-Litre turbo-engine with an outcome of 138bhp. The diesel engine kicks off with a 1.6-Litre small engine with 132bhp and another model with the Zafira 2.0-Litre diesel engine making 168bhp. The second one is obviously a better option when you intend to carry load and people together with full capacity used.
As the horse power is more in 2.0-Litre, the pick and load capacity increases making it a better preference. But the smaller engine also gives off an adequate performance and it is not an underrated model. Amazingly, the 1.6-Litre engine gives a more towing ability to the car and proves it a better caravan carrier if it is needed.
When it comes to passenger carrier, you are talking about more passengers than in a saloon. It means the number of lives to keep safe is more and for that a reliable and safe carrier is needed. Zafira is one of those road runners which give a very good reliability with its engines, especially the new 1.6-Litre with high investments having a strong verdict for its future presence.
For safety, the installed equipment includes electronic stability control and six airbags as standard. If you are ready to spend more, adaptive lighting, blind-spot and lane-keeping assistance can also be added to the gadgets. ISOFIX points are also present for the safety of kids, but they are only in the centre seat row.
The dashboard gets its seven inch touch screen with high visibility and easy to operate system. It is flooded with much equipment which is found in a high trim level saloon. The passenger capacity is brilliant and every row gets a good head and leg room. The rear most seats are a little cramped fit for short height people or kids.
