Opel Car Company unveiled the newest Opel Zafira 2012 Tourer. Zafira Tourer first exhibited in the autumn 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show.

Cars to be launched for the European market is available in a choice of three engine type, engine power from 110 Hp to 165 Hp. type of engine has 130 hp and 165 type turbo engine 2.0 L CDTI diesel engine 110 hp, 1.4 L Ecotec turbocharged petrol engine
.
The new Vauxhall Zafira Tourer is a seven seat MPV, designed to compete with other large people-carriers, such as the Ford S-Max and Seat Alhambra.

The middle row of seats is made of up of three individual seats, which slide independently. Up front there’s a smart – if slightly complex – dashboard, and comfortable and supportive seats for mum and dad. This keeps the Zafira Tourer cheaper than larger MPV, such as the Alhambra and VW Sharan.

What’s it like to drive? A 138bhp 1.8 petrol and a 108bhp 2.0 diesel complete the engine line up, although available on the cheap trims.

Stick to a version with 17-inch wheels and the Zafira Tourer deals with bigger bumps well, and the body is quite flat over the corners. Choose the right engine (i.e. the 2.0 CDTi 130 Ecoflex) and the Zafira Tourer makes sense for families who need only occasional seating for seven.

It’s reasonably clever and broad, and work out cheaper than our favourite MPV – the Seat Alhambra – once you’ve factored in discounts.

Add the word Tourer to a model range and it normally said estate car. but not for 2012 Vauxhall Zafira Tourer, more stylish, bigger people carrier range.

The existing slab-sided seven seat compact Zafira remains on sale with a reduced line-up of models.

There is the choice T 1.4 liter petrol or 1.8-liter, 140PS power supply two, three 2.0-liter turbodiesel engine three power output, 110, 130 and 165PS.

The overall length of the Zafira Tourer 4658 mm, all three rows of seats in the seven-seater Zafira Tourer wearing a boot space is minimal, but more than enough to shop, but with rear seats folded and it its most popular used five seat configuration the boot and load space is 710-litres.

Access to the second and third rows of seats comes via conventional hinged rear side doors, sliding doors are very useful for newcomers.The forward opening, hinged rear door to the back side rather small Meriva wouldn’t allow easy enough access to the third row of seats say Vauxhall.

No longer a bench seat, it now comprises three individual seats that can slide longitudinally by 210mm independent of one another and can folded flat, making the floor even load.

A potential highlight for some people of the new Zafira Tourer will be the Lounge Seating system which is standard on the top two levels of specification. This provides second-row passengers with the kind of seating space normally found in a large executive saloon car.

With Lounge Seating the three seats in the second row transform into two comfortable seats with lots of extra legroom and shoulder space. There are numerous options including an upgraded navigation system with traffic alert.

For handling, steering feed-back and ride comfort the Zafira Tourer with Exclusiv specification cannot realistically be faulted.

In most areas the Zafira Tourer is impressive; premium quality and style, comfort, handling, fuel saving and so on.
