    Exterior styling

    2016 Vauxhall Zafira Tourer

    The available photos show new headlamp design, restyled upper and lower grille and overall more aggressive design, compared to predecessor model. The sculptural chrome logo blends withing the headlights and somehow makes the vehicle wider, while the well-known and precisely chiseled “Vauxhall double wing” daytime lights characterize the fresh light cluster design.

    Interior styling

    The interior shows restyled instrument panel, greater forward visibility and replaced touch screen with new integrated one. The lower position of the new touch screen allows some button reduction and delivering some more space.

    In terms of interior comfort and safety features, driver and passengers will enjoy a smooth ride, thanks to the optional six-way adjustable seats and modular storage system with storage box and cup-holders. Also, passengers on the second row will enjoy the special Lounge Seating system, which offers comfortable armrests and generous leg and shoulder room. And last, but not least, the third row can be folded down in order to save up some more cargo space without interrupting the comfortable ride of passengers. Sweet.

    So far so good, right? In fact, we are happy to know that the new Zafira gets better and better! Stay with us for full details!

  • 2013 Opel Zafira Tourer 1.6 CDTI – 136HP and 320Nm

    After the announcet of the powerful Zafira Tourer 2.0 CDTI, Opel will present the new 2013 Zafira Tourer 1.6 CDTI at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show, next month. The super-efficient diesel van offers good performance and low fuel consumption.

    What is more, this is the cleanest diesel engine in the company’s history. It is equipped with Opel “BlueInjection” SCR (selective catalytic reduction) technology. This means that the new 1.6 CDTI already meets future stringent Euro 6 emissions limits.

    The 1.6 liter CDTI ECOTEC has 136HP (100 kW) and 320Nm (237 lb-ft) of torque. The combined cycle is sensational – 4.1 liters / 100 km with emissions of just 109 g/km CO2. No other monocab on the market place offers such a great combination of high torque and performance and fuel economy. The top speed is 193 km/h (120 mph), but no words about 0-100 km/h acceleration.

    The new 1.6 CDTI ECOTEC does not only set benchmarks for performance with its high power and torque density but also for refinement with an outstandingly low level of noise, vibration and harshness.

    This new generation engine and its innovative engine control unit have been entirely developed in-house by a global team of engineers in Turin, Rüsselsheim and the USA.

  • 2013 Opel Zafira Tourer 2.0 CDTI BiTurbo – 195HP and 400Nm

    Opel has presented the new 2013 Zafira Tourer 2.0 CDTI BiTurbo. This is the fastest diesel-powered seven-seater in the compact van segment in the world. With a price of €35,405, it is one of the most expensive, too.

    The 2.0 liter CDTI BiTurbo has 195HP (143 kW) and 400Nm (295 lb-ft) of torque. 0-100 km/h in 8.9 seconds and a top speed of 218 km/h (135 mph). Other interesting discipline – 80 km/h to 120 km/h takes 8.5 seconds in 5th gear. The 2013 Opel Zafira Tourer BiTurbo has a fuel consumption of 5.6 liters / 100 km (42 mpg US / 50 mpg UK).

    The award-winning Zafira Tourer combines premium class ambience inside the cabin with cutting-edge technologies, some of which are unique in the segment and enhance safety and comfort. Technical highlights include the mechatronic FlexRide chassis system, the second-generation Opel Eye front camera, the AFL+ adaptive forward lighting system and a panoramic windshield which floods the cabin with natural light.

    Extra flexibility inside the Zafira Tourer is provided by the new generation Flex7 system, including the unique lounge seating functions which give passengers an unprecedented amount of space in the second row.

    First deliveries will begin in April, this year.

  • Opel Relies on LPG with EcoFLEX 1.4

    2012-Opel-LPG-ecoFLEX-thumb-Opel are now diversifying their EcoFlex range with with two new, LPG adapted (Liquid Petrolium Gas) additions. The Astra 5-door hatchback and the Astra Sport Tourer will get the more grunty engine while the Meriva will keep it simple with a less powerful and less thirsty version of the former.

    This is not Opel‘s LPG debut however. They have been building LPG adapted cars since 2009. Last year, Corsas have started rolling out of the factory with 1.2, LPG modified EcoFlexes that deliver a nimble 83 hp figure and return 110 g/km CO2 which is absolutely not bad for a non-diesel. Now the Astra and the Meriva represent a follow up: they will both get a 1.4 Turbo EcoFLEX designed to sip LPG or run on petrol depending on the driver’s choice. The Meriva engine is slightly underpowered, producing 120 horse powers, 175 Nm of torque while the Astra hatch/Sport Tourer have 140 hp and 200 Nm of torque at their disposal. Carbon dioxide emission figures are 124 g/km and 129 g/km/132 g/km respectively on the combined cycle. Running costs can drop by up to 15% if one prefers driving on LPG and because the engines are Euro 5 rated, road taxation wont be much of a problem. The Astra and the Meriva certainly wont be the last to come with LPG as there are plans to start production of LPG powered Insignia and Zafira models later this year.

    EcoFlex Astra Sort Tourer (2013)

    The systems are perfectly fitted to cause minimal discomfort to the passengers and driver – the LPG tank is separate and embedded where one would expect to see the spare-wheel (The wheel itself still comes as standard). And because of having a normal petrol tank, just like any other car, the Opels have a combined range of more then 1400 miles if both containers are full. Transition from Petrol to LPG and back is done seamlessly with an ON/OFF button on the center console.

    LPG integration is part of Opel‘s initiative to lead the “green” market by offering neat alternatives to pure petrol and diesel cars. The new EcoFLEX units will make a fine addition to an already broad portfolio of electric cars and CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) vehicles.

    LPG, already familiar to Eastern Europe, is now gathering popularity in Western Europe as well. Over 80 % of the LPG Opels produced have went on the Italian market. The overall infrastructure which allows LPG cars to keep moving is widespread with 6,400 LPG filling stations in Germany alone. Other LPG friendly countries include France, the Netherlands, Belgium and even Britain.

  • 2012 Vauxhall Zafira Tourer

    Vauxhall has revealed 2012 Zafira Tourer, which will hit the market in the beginning of the next year. The new model will sit above the current Zafira model in Vauxhall’s line-up and is set to raise the bar for design, luxury, flexibility and innovation in the MPV sector. Good word, but we shall wait a while to see that.

    The MPV will continue to use Flex7 seating, but it will offer better comfort, improved materials and more cabin space.

    2012 Zafira Tourer will also have a new chassis, using key components from the Insignia, with a longer wheelbase – 190mm increase in overall length of the vehicle. It will also have wider tracks, FlexRide adaptive damping system, which will be available as an option.

    There will be two new engines in the line-up. The first one is a small 1.4 litre turbocharged petrol and a 2.0 CDTi with totally three outputs. These two will join the current 1.8 litre petrol to offer a wide range of power options – 110PS to 165PS.

    2012 Vauxhall Zafira Tourer will make its official debut at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show on September 15th to 25th.
