Offering a perfect blend of functionality and comfort, the new Opel Zafira Tourer transports the Insignia values to the monocab segment - premium qualities, innovative technologies, sculptural and dynamic design. Opel established the seven-seat compact van segment in 1999. With an extensively re-designed Flex7 seating system, the new Zafira Tourer now sets novel standards in interior flexibility and atmosphere.

But the third-generation Zafira's innovations go well beyond this newly developed, flexible seating configuration. The Opel Zafira Tourer as a whole demonstrates a big step forward and expresses new ambitions. It is the ideal flexible companion, not only for families. Its elegant design, spacious lounge atmosphere, upgraded chassis and new technologies enable relaxed driving with maximum comfort and safety. The second generation of the Opel Eye front camera builds the basis for a range of innovative assistance systems, and Opel is the first automaker to offer a compact van with adaptive, radar-based speed control.

The engine range on offer for the new Opel Zafira Tourer will initially consist of highly efficient diesel and gasoline engines with output from 81 kW/110 hp to 121 kW/165 hp. Shortly after the start of sales, an especially low-consumption ecoFLEX model with a 2.0 CDTI common-rail turbo diesel and standard Start/Stop technology will join the Zafira Tourer family. The Zafira Tourer 2.0 CDTI ecoFLEX, boasts one of the values in the compact monocab class with just 119 g/km CO2. And this comes with spirited performance of 96 kW/130 hp and maximum torque of 300 Newton meters.

Also available is the especially economical natural gas variant of the new Zafira Tourer. The Opel Zafira Tourer 1.6 CNG turbo ecoFLEX (110kW/150hp) will be on the market in early 2012.

First impressions count: Sporty and dynamic look

The new Opel Zafira Tourer makes a very powerful first impression. The new sculptural design language has improved the already functional and highly successful predecessor of the Zafira Tourer and resulted in an even more refined product with premium qualities. Every detail in the cabin interior has been carefully considered. The Zafira Tourer successfully combines practical thinking with a passion for cars. The values of agility and comfort which are embodied in the highly successful Insignia have been transferred to the Opel Zafira Tourer. This has taken the new vehicle to the next level.

Futuristic and dynamic chassis design

The Opel Zafira Tourer's distinctive front is defined by bold boomerang graphics in the lighting units that sweep from the headlights to the fog lamps. All the lighting functions are joined up in a smooth and seamless fashion. The trapeze-shaped grille and the distinctive crease in the bonnet, consistently applied to the Opel brand, have created a very dynamic and progressive look. Further typical Opel design cues include the wing-shaped daytime running lights in the front and rear.

The driver's field of vision has been greatly improved because of a new set of slender "hydroformed" A-pillars and relatively sleek B-pillars in the interior, plus generous side windows at the front. Visibility has also been significantly boosted with the rear view mirrors on both sides. The mirrors come in a two-tone combination: a shiny black gloss on top, so as to be harmonious with side-glass and the color of the car's body. This makes them appear smaller than they really are. The overall premium quality look is further boosted by the Insignia door system, known for its "door frames under glass". All the exterior panels have been aerodynamically and acoustically designed to reduce noise levels.

The silhouette of the Opel Zafira Tourer takes its design cues from the aerodynamic and streamlined shape of a high speed train. The blades on the flanks of the car create a powerful forward motion. The sporty look is reinforced by crisp and sweeping lines. The appearance of the monocab is further enhanced with a smooth line that runs from the front of the roof to the roof spoiler. So the car appears to lie lower. The Zafira Tourer looks very muscular in the optional OPC style which is available for the Edition (EU: Enjoy), Sport and Innovation (EU: Cosmo) variants. The front spoiler, rear lower skirt, side skirt and enlarged roof spoiler give the monocab a sporty feel.

The slender rear lights, again with wing shaped taillight functions, can be fitted with LED technology if required. The horizontal chrome bar between the lamps has the Opel emblem prominently placed and is broad and distinctive. It gives the vehicle a sporty but refined look. The fog lights have been fitted into the bumper at the rear, enabling the rear lights to look more slender.
