Vauxhall Zafira generations
Second Generation (2005 to 2014)
The second-generation design was the same as the Astra with a new grille featuring a chrome slat. Body-coloured mouldings were used on the side that protected the metal from scrapes and bumps in parking lots. Vauxhall extended the vertical tailgate to create a lower loading area.
The coolant temperature gauge was removed from the instrument cluster and a new infotainment system was placed on the centre stack. A variety of powertrain configurations was also released, including petrol, diesel, manual and automatic options, plus a sporty VXR.

Third Generation (2012 to 2018)
The final Zafira, replaced by the Vivaro Life in 2019, was renamed the Zafira Tourer and it shared a platform with the Astra. The exterior design was inspired by the Insignia, showcasing swept-back headlamps and boomerang-type headlights. The narrow grille revealed a chrome bar, and raked A-pillars were matched with a B-pillar that formed a triangle for a side-front window.
The cabin still offered room for seven, with tall seats for the largest passengers. A high-tech infotainment system was added and the instrument cluster closely resembled the one found in other Vauxhall models of the time.
