We tried to understand whether the follower of the current Zafira, who is still in the ranks, will be able to share her success. So, let's build the optimal Tourer.

Take as a basis
Since you do not have to choose a body type, we decide on the power unit. The basic 115-horsepower 1.8-liter engine is better to immediately sweep away: on paper for almost 13 seconds, up to 100 km / h look, maybe not too sad, but such results can be achieved only if there is no one in the car except the driver and the tank is not full. It is no coincidence that such a modification cannot be obtained with three rows of seats even for a surcharge - with five passengers, the Tourer is unlikely to be able to accelerate adequately. And if you turn on the air conditioner? No, thank you.

The 140-strong “four” of the same volume, well known to our compatriots back in the Vectra, should be considered the minimum possible power unit. This engine does an excellent job with relatively light cars like the Astra, but this engine is enough for a large compact van. Therefore, it makes sense to pay 18, 000 rubles for a more modern 1.4-liter engine, from which the low-pressure turbine blows out all the same 140 "eles". Unlike the naturally aspirated “four”, the maximum torque will serve the driver in the range of 1850–4900 rpm, which means convenient urban operation and even lower fuel consumption. It is this motor that can be considered optimal, especially since for 40 thousand you can add a 6-speed "automatic" to it.

The Zafira-Tourer arsenal also includes turbodiesels (130 and 165 hp), which attract a wonderful combination of dynamics and efficiency. But it should be noted that only those with annual mileage exceeding 50, 000 km can pay off the overpayment for such a motor relatively quickly.
It remains to choose a complete set. The initial Essenshia is already well equipped: four airbags, ABS, ESP, air conditioning, a CD radio, power accessories and even an alarm. But the base is combined exclusively with a 115-horsepower engine, which we consider frankly weak for such a large van.

A very reasonable surcharge of exactly one hundred thousand may prompt the choice of performing "Angie". For this seemingly considerable amount of money, you will receive a quite sufficient 140-horsepower engine, a 7-seater saloon, ennobled with a different fabric, and a dozen more by no means useless options.
And only when you start to study the specification of the Cosmo top version, it becomes clear that perhaps only a heated front seats, 2-zone climate control and a leather steering wheel can be recognized as really necessary from a considerable list. However, the “furniture” deserves praise, too, covered with fabric mixed with high-quality leatherette. Nevertheless, taking into account a surcharge of 86, 000 rubles, we believe that it is better to stay at a more affordable configuration, and spend the money saved on the options we really need.
Thus, the most profitable version today is Angie. We, in turn, will try to make sure that Zafira-Tourer does not jump over the framework of 1–1.1 million rubles, which is attractive for a large family compact van.

Recommended:
COLOR METALLIC (14 000 RUB.). For a European car, it’s quite inexpensive - in Germany, buyers have to give almost twice as much for such an option. You can choose from nine different shades. For reference: surcharges do not require only white and blue acrylic.
WINDOW AIRBAGS for front and rear passengers (9500 RUB.). It is not worth saving on the passive safety of a family car.
PACK AND PARK AND GOU TECHNOLOGY PACKAGE (45 000 RUB.). There is an advanced parking aid (which helps the novice with tips on the screen), a rear-view camera, a Navi-600 navigation system, an electric folding mirror with a warning system for passing cars in the “blind” zones. A very sensible set for a large family car for more than a modest price.
PACKAGE "ENJOY" (20 000 RUB.). It includes 2-zone climate control, rain and light sensors, a salon view with auto-dimming, as well as automatic switching from low to high beams. You definitely need to take the package - with it, during trips out of town, the driver will be less tired.
PACKAGE "ENJOY-2" (15 000 RUB.). It includes rear power windows, heated front seats, a multi-function leather steering wheel and cruise control. In the package, these options cost about a quarter cheaper than retail.
PACKAGE "COMFORT OF SEATS-2" (10 000 RUB.). In our opinion, such options (height adjustment and electric drives of the lumbar support of the front seats) should be the basic equipment of this obviously not a budget car.
LED REAR LIGHTS (6500 RUB.). Beautiful, safer and more durable - and not too expensive.
HEAT-REFLECTING WINDSHIELD (3500 RUB.). With such glass in the summer heat, you can not cover the front panel with protection.
STEERING HEATER (4500 RUB.). Your hands will appreciate it in the first frost.
ELECTRIC HEATER “QUICK-HIT” (8000 RUB.). Due to the heaters built into the ducts, it allows to significantly accelerate the heating of the passenger compartment and thawing of windows. Given the small volume of our selected motor and the spaciousness of the interior - it is worth ordering.
PRESSURE SENSOR IN TIRES (8300 RUB.). By choosing this option, you will no longer become accustomed to inspect the car in the parking lot - the on-board computer display will constantly report how many atmospheres are in each of the four tires. Just keep in mind that if you buy a separate set of winter wheels, you will have to pay extra for four additional sensors - otherwise the monitoring system will not work.
Leather interior
Optional:
LEATHER SALON (35 000 RUB.). In comparison with Asian competitors, the quality of the skin can be considered more than acceptable. The leather interior looks more elegant, and the price tag is absolutely humane.
DISCS FROM EASY ALLOY 17 "(12 000 RUB.). The 5-spoke steel wheels with caps selected by us are successfully masked by light alloy. However, the surcharge for real aluminum is small, and therefore we will not dissuade you.
ADAPTIVE LIGHTING PACKAGE AFL + (45 000 RUB.). Smart bi-xenon headlights that take into account the traffic situation (including speed, side lighting, wheel angle, passing and oncoming cars, and even weather conditions) first appeared in 2008 at Insignia. Such "eyes" do their job perfectly and also decorate the car.
PACKAGE "DRIVER ASSISTANT 1" (20 000 RUB.). The latest security innovation is adaptive cruise control and a traffic sign recognition system. Judging by our experience, both functions do not work too perfectly. However, smart electronics get better over time thanks to new versions of “firmware”, and therefore we can assume that in the near future, new-fangled gadgets will become more useful. The price against the background of similar systems from competitors is completely ridiculous.
FLEX-FIX SYSTEM (30 000 RUB.). This is an integrated design in the rear bumper that allows you to transport sports equipment - for example, bicycles. If you and your family are fans of an active lifestyle, but do not want to sacrifice the spaciousness of the trunk and the cabin at the same time, order for health!
SILVER RELATIONS (3500 RUB.). Silver arcs look more elegant than the base black, but not every body color will go.
PANORAMIC WIND GLASS (40 000 RUB.). Requires the order of the Angio package and cannot be combined with the eyeglass case. It is in this “aquarium” version that Zafira-Tourer will allow passengers to enjoy the landscape - this is especially valuable if you and your family love to travel. However, beauty requires sacrifice, and if you are serious about ordering a "panorama", it makes sense to look at the Cosmo version, where such a "showcase" is part of the basic equipment.
REINFORCED TINTING OF THE WINDOW WINDOWS (4500 RUB.) If there is a need for tinting, it is better to order it at the factory - all the more so since it will cost even less than on the side.
FARKOP (13 000 RUB.). Thanks to the quick-detachable design, such a towbar does not impair the appearance of the car. If you don’t have enough luggage, pay extra.
FOLDING BACK of a seat of the forward passenger (6000 RUB.). It will make it possible to place fast food purchases in the cabin with great comfort or, for example, to transport a length meter.
SUNSCREEN WIPES rear windows (4500 RUB.). A good alternative to tinting will, if necessary, hide the passengers of the sofa from the prying eyes.
AUDIO SYSTEM "INFINITY" (25 000 RUB.). Clear sound with bass subwoofer support is well worth the money. Another thing is that not everyone needs it, but the standard acoustics of Zafira are already quite good.
BLUTUZ COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL (10 000 RUB.). Connect your mobile phone to the radio, using the standard display and speaker system.
Flex-Fix system
We do not recommend:
DISCS FROM EASY ALLOY 18 "/ 19" (24 000/36 000 RUB.). Designed for family trips, Zafira is an unimportant setting for such wheels. The advantages of which are limited exclusively by the more expressive appearance of the car, but are tightly blocked by the comfort that disappears with increasing diameter.
PACKAGE “REVIEW AND LIGHTING” (7500 RUB.). We will get it as part of the Angoy package.
ERGONOMIC SPORTS SEATS (25 000 RUB.). With a 140-horsepower engine will come in handy - pronounced, but unobtrusive tides tightly fix the body of the driver and front passenger. Only now, a mistake came up with the price - too expensive.
ADAPTIVE CHASSIS "FLEX-RIDE" (40 000 RUB.). Shock absorbers that adapt to your driving style, a more responsive gas pedal and a “steering wheel” loading at speed - all this, of course, is good. But not for the best option.
SPORT CHASSIS (6000 RUB.). Implies a suspension with shortened springs and is combined with at least 18-inch wheels. In our opinion, not only optimal, but generally any Zafira in our country, such a set is completely useless.
REAR SPOILER (6500 RUB.). On the body of the Zafira National Economy, such a decoration will be an alien element - it is still not a sports car.
GPS-NAVIGATION "CD-600-NAVI" / CD-900-NAVI "(27 500/37 500 RUB.). We will receive the first in the advantageous package “Park and Go Technology”. And the second is characterized by the presence of voice control, the work of which, alas, is far from ideal.

What happened:
We have assembled our "Tourer" - a safe and well-equipped compact van with a high-torque and economical engine. At the same time, we managed to maintain an attractive price tag: more affordable competitors are either inferior in driving disciplines or cannot offer such spacious “apartments”. By and large, despite the fact that they belong to the class of relatively compact cars, the Zafira-Tourer is almost comparable in terms of internal volume with full-fledged minivans.
