Category: Compact MPV 
Price Range: £16,495 to £24,995
Brilliantly packaged, lively, well-built.
Fussy cruising, wallowy ride, dull interior, not as safe as the best.
One of the cleverest MPVs, but lacks flair.
An MPV is a useful alternative to an estate car, and the Zafira is particularly useful because it cleverly squeezes seven seats into its compact package. The rearmost seats slide invisibly under the floor when not needed.
Engines are 1.6, 1.8 and 2.2-litre 16-valvers, and a direct-injection turbodiesel. There's also a 'hot' variant, the 2.0-litre turbocharged GSi.
