The Vauxhall Zafira arrived in the UK back in 1999. This MPV was sold through to 2018, when it was in its third generation. While all of the generations contain the same basic design principles, Vauxhall updated the model regularly to keep it relevant and modern, with improved styling and technology. Over the generations, the Zafira has been offered in a range of powertrains offering flexibility for different driver's needs.

Different generations of used Vauxhall Zafira
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.
