Vauxhall Zafira Tourer review

Here is where the Zafira Tourer really excels. The dash is all smooth surfaces with swishes of trim and really neat red lighting strips. It is much more upmarket than the old one – so long as you avoid the boggo ES trim, that is. As standard, it has seven seats which fold flat into the floor in a multitude of ways (and, unlike before, the middle seats are individual rather than a fixed bench).

The neat option is the Lounge Seating of more expensive variants: here, when the middle seat is flattened, two long armrests flip up from its edges like leathery wings. The outer two slide in and back by 5cm too: the result is more shoulder room and space to stretch out.
