About the Vauxhall Zafira B
The second-generation Vauxhall Zafira, known as the Zafira B, refined the compact MPV formula that its predecessor pioneered. The 1.8-litre VVT engine in Design trim was a popular choice, offering a balance of reasonable performance and equipment including automatic lights and wipers. Its primary appeal remains the Flex7 seating system, which allows the third row to fold flat into the floor without removal. While based on the Astra chassis for car-like handling, it is remembered more for its practicality and ubiquity on British roads than for driving engagement.
