THE new Zafira mini-MPV from Vauxhall goes on sale in spring, with an interior that caters for up to seven occupants.

It breaks new ground, thanks to an ingenious folding mechanism that converts the car to seat any number from seven to only one in less than 15 seconds without removing a single seat. Each of the two individual third row seats folds easily into the floor, providing a completely flat load surface. In five-seat form, Zafira offers up to 640 litres of cargo space.
