The VAUXHALL ZAFIRA (2005-15) 5DR MPV 1.8 16V 120 EU5 DESIGN is a practical, five-door family MPV, offering a taller, more flexible alternative to a conventional hatchback. In the UK used-car market, it is known as an affordable people carrier, aimed at buyers who need extra passenger space without moving up to a large van-sized vehicle. Its flexible seating makes it well suited to family trips, school runs and carrying bulky shopping, while the 1.8-litre petrol engine offers straightforward everyday motoring. The Design trim gives it a useful equipment focus, and the Zafira’s easy-to-live-with layout is a major appeal. It competes with models such as the Ford C-MAX and Renault Scenic, with seven-seat versatility its familiar calling card.
