Providing precise safe and secure road holding in all conditions, the exciting chassis of the Vauxhall Zafira incorporates every feature of advanced motoring technology, as well as facilitating the ultimate in driver and passenger comfort. Light and spacious, and with the clean muscular lines expected from a vehicle specifically designed to convert instantly from a two-seater, with a carrying capacity of 1820 litres, into a comfortable seven-seater people carrier, the Vauxhall Zafira is the executive salon with workhorse capacity.
Vauxhall Zafira Practicality and Innovation
The superb driving dynamics of the Zafira incorporate the very latest automotive control technology, including the optional Interactive Driving System (IDS-plus), which senses any changes in driving dynamics and adjusts the damper control instantly for more effective cornering and even sharper handling, and the Electronic Stability Programme (ESP-plus) technology, which applies instant corrective control by applying appropriate braking if the vehicle appears to be sliding on a bend in awkward or very slippery conditions. The Zafira also has the SportSwitch facility installed, operable by simply hitting the switch to facilitate sharper throttle control and more responsive steering instantly. There is also an added adaptive driving function on the electronically controlled six-speed automatic model, with a Winter mode setting, which enables the selection of a third gear when slippery conditions are sensed by the driving dynamics. Fitted with six full-size airbags as standard and remote control central deadlocking, the Vauxhall Zafira further confirms its reputation for safety and security by the award of EuroNCAP five star rating for adult occupancy.
Vauxhall Zafira Engine Options
The range and versatility of the ingeniously designed petrol and diesel engines available in the Zafira range, is truly outstanding. From the twin-cam 1.6i 16v petrol engine, with its featured multi-point sequential fuel injection and incorporated Twinport intake technology, providing instant power delivery, fuel economy and low emissions, to the two CDTi diesel Turbocharged fuel injected diesel engines – rated at 120PS and 150PS – giving the ultimate in power and performance, whilst adhering rigidly to Vauxhall's strict green emission code, give further evidential proof that only the most modern automotive technology available is being utilised in the skilful engineering of these world-beating Vauxhall engines.
