By cleverly evolving what was already a brilliant package, Vauxhall has created a new class leader. There is more space on offer in the Zafira, too, which means tall adults can comfortably occupy all three rows of seats. And the brilliant Flex 7 seating system, which allows the third row of seats to fold flat into the floor in seconds, has been carried over unchanged.
Vauxhall has also addressed one of our more serious concerns about Zafira - its EuroNCAP crash rating has gone from a poor three stars to the maximum five stars. It's child protection rating has also been hugely improved and is now a match for the best in class. The fact that perceived quality and the driving experience have been improved is just a bonus.
The mad VXR version is a hoot.
