Across the pond, General Motors is upping the ante in the popular compact MPV sector with the introduction of Opel’s third generation Zafira model that will go on sale in most European countries this autumn. The production version of Opel’s Geneva show concept will also wear Vauxhall’s badges with the first cars to reach UK showrooms by early 2012.
We have already brought you the news and the first batch of photos in our previous post (see here), but now we have also obtained the launch film showing Opel’s people carrier on the move.
For those of you that want the short story, the new Zafira Tourer gains a more athletic and distinct shape while continuing to offer seating for seven passengers inside. Opel also promises greater levels of flexibility thanks to the updated Flex7 seating system. At launch buyers will be able to choose from five engines, a 2.0-liter diesel in 110HP, 130HP and 165HP forms, and a 1.4-liter turbocharged gasoline unit delivering 120HP and 140HP. The European maker plans to enhance the range with more engine options within the next year.
