Just in time for its sales debut, the Opel Zafira Tourer in its 2.0 CDTI Common Rail Turbo Diesel Edition is available in three performance categories: 81 kW/110hp, 96 kW/130 hp and 121 kW/165 hp as a reworked and more powerful engine. In addition, two very efficient 1.4 Liter turbo gasoline variants with 88 kW/120hp and 85kW/115hp will be available. Apart from the most basic gasoline and diesel models, all others are equipped with the fuel-saving Start/Stop technology.

For example, the 2.0 CDTI ecoFLEX Zafira Tourer (starting at 26.805 Euro) with its 96kW/130 hp engine only consumes 4.5 Liters of diesel on a journey of 100 kilometers (119 g/km CO2). This makes it one of the most efficient and most environmentally-friendly compact monocabs.

The driver assistance system is a major innovation in the new Zafira Tourer and a raft of new safety-orientated technologies on board are equally innovative. For example, there are assistance systems in place such as: radar-based adaptive cruise control, intelligent light ranging (ILR), traffic sign recognition, side blind spot alert, collision imminent braking and the advanced park assist.

The new driver assistance systems ensure a relaxing, comfortable and safe driving experience. The second generation of the multi-award winning front-eye camera (800 Euro) is the backbone of all of these new systems.
