Opel Zafira Tourer - The New Master of Versatility

RÜSSELSHEIM, GERMANY – October 12, 2011: 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 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 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 early next year.
