Vauxhall Zafira Tourer on sale from February
The first Vauxhall Zafira Tourer models are arriving in UK dealerships three months after order books opened for the new seven-seat people carrier.
Designed to sit above the standard Zafira in the Vauxhall range, the Zafira Tourer will deliver 'lounge-like comfort' and 'executive-car feel', according to the car maker.
It will also be the first car to boast a new design direction, most noticeably in the front end where it sports boomerang-shaped headlamps and new LED lights.
Priced from £21,000 - £3,000 more than the standard Zafira - the new Vauxhall Zafira Tourer comes with a leap forward in terms of interior specification and the quality of materials used.
Inside, the Zafira Tourer offers up to 1,860 litres of load space with the second and third row of seats folded.
However, thanks to Vauxhall's Flex7 seating system, the seats can also be individually folded and moved to create a more flexible interior.
A new panoramic windscreen and sunroof is available as standard on the Zafira Tourer, something Vauxhall says will create 'unrivalled visibility and sense of spaciousness'.
Under the bonnet a choice of three diesel and two petrol engines are available from launch with a frugal Ecoflex diesel delivering just 119g/km of CO2 emissions set to be added to the range at a later date.
Vauxhall has made no secret of the fact it is targeting the Ford S-Max with the new Zafira Tourer and the difference in starting price (£1,500) has been pointed out by Vauxhall.
The first Vauxhall Zafira Tourer models will arrive in UK showrooms in February 2011 with prices starting from £21,000.
