Opel Zafira Tourer: Tourist business class

Opel Zafira Tourer promises maximum comfort in a class of compactview. However, to enjoy it fully will be able to only two passengers of the six possible
Opel Zafira Tourer (soon sold) the European market of comptoirs is estimated at a million cars a year. This is not very much, given the number of models fighting for the favor of the buyer, who also increasingly prefer the compact to the crossover. However, according to Opel specialists, the buyer has a buyer in the comptoirs-they even do not hurry to remove the former Zafira market, which will be sold for some time in parallel with the new Zafira Tourer. Usually the compacts are based on the platform of class C car, but the platform principle seems to go away in history. The Zafira Tourer, like many of the latest models, is designed according to the so-called modular principle: the front pendant of type McPherson is borrowed from Opel Insignia, and the back semi-dependent suspension, augmented by the Watt engine, is from the Astra model. Both signs are mounted to the body through the imitation, making their work practically noisy. The Zafira Tourer is one of the most quiet cars of the single-volume building I have ever driven: there is an excellent aerodynamic examination of the body and high-quality noise insulation. The main value of the compact is a spacious multi-variant showroom. Three seats of the middle row can be independently folded and moved in the longitudinal direction, and if the passengers are only two, the average chair is folded in a transverse plane and becomes a comfortable armchair, whereas the side seats are shifted back to the centre. In this case, it is simply a royal reserve for legs and full freedom in the shoulders, which is forgotten even by the passengers of the limousines. You can add chic by using the optional glass roof and an elongated windscreen (like the Citroen C4 Picaso), which makes the car a real aquarium. 4-local accommodation-the most convenient of the possible-the level of comfort with such a seating arrangement is comparable to the sedans of the executive class, only a small part of the possible variants of transformation of saloon is presented, if the maximum seating capacity is required, then it is possible to use integrated seats of the third row-the truth, comfortable there will be only children: places for legs and head are very few, as in fact, at the gallery of all the comptots. Such an elegant solution, which turned the average chair into a arm-chair, before Zafira Tourer, had not yet been offered. The metamorphosis takes place rapidly and without extra effort to store the details of Zafira Tourer offers more than 30 different containers scattered all over the cabin, but the main pride of the developer is the multilayer boxing FlexRail between the front seats with the aluminum guides, on which the deep winos are moved forward, and under them, the deep winder-pans and under them is another box with its own sliding door lid. Together, it's like a bottomless miracle-box of a magician. The Central Boxing Organizer of FlexRail with multi-tiered sliding boxes is a clear find of designers and built-in. The designers have forgotten the creators and the FlexFix branched system, which is integrated into the rear bumper and allowing for the capacity of the boot of the boot to overtake the bikes-not two, but four pedal machines!On a test drive in Bavaria, the coma has only been provided with diesel engines and MCP-favorite in Europe, but we have a combination of May. Nevertheless, in Russia such a belief will also be offered, but we will have the most powerful of the three-165 strong. The lio drive is very good at the bottom of the gear and does not require frequent gearshift. In the sample, with the clutch disengaged, it automatically departs the system of the May Start Stop, allowing for fuel savings. The distance to the front of the vehicle is controlled by the radar embedded in the front bumper. The road signs read the Opel Eye ovel mounted in the top of the battle glass and warn the driver in the event of a higher rate of speed. Ultrasonic sensors detect the ultrasound sensors at the time of the crash, and help to find a parking space along the road. However, all these are pleasant and expensive options, as well as the adaptive suspension of FlexRide. However, the Zafira Turer has a complete set of airbags and stabilization of the last generation. In the rich picking, Zafira Tourer is literally packed with all kinds of tracking sensors: road markings, traffic signs, road signs, parking places. The autopilot's not behind the mountains?From the driver's point of view, it is only possible to settle on the typical Opel models of the artificial inverse of the steering control. And I was not able to find the optimal landing in the driver's armchair, and by the end of the route, my back was just a bit sore. Otherwise, there are no claims to the ergonomics. The buttons on the central console scares the buttons at first glance, but it is not difficult to navigate in them. It was pleasing to see that in a similar architecture the Zafira Tourer's interior quality of finishing, in my opinion, is noticeably better than Astra and Insignia. The rear view camera with the parking sensors may appear to be a redundant solution, but for a novice driver it is typically European: the pendant is well-filtered to the microroughness of the road surface, but seems to be a hard drive for road seams and skirmish. However, these observations are related to the FlexRide suspension, and as they behave with regular shock absorbers, we will find out already in Russia. We are scheduled to start sales in the spring of next year. All seats are fully integrated into the body, and do not need to be removed for maximum capacity and level floor. The Opel comps history started recently, in 1999, when the first generation of the Zafira model emerged. The Renault Scenic model had a more traditional appearance, "assembled" chassis and gaming manageability. Later, it was even a version from the OPC factory tuner with a 2-liter turbo engine, which was quickly nagged by a "hot father car". The second generation of the model has only developed the image of the "hot" compact, but the new Zafira Turer has already been made with an emphasis on the comfort-It is amazing, with the attention to detail the engineers approached the development of the new Zafira, and this is an important but not the most important model of Opel. The interior is not just perfect in terms of convenience and capacity, but it creates so much desired experience, quality, salmon and quality. The very low level of noise and vibration, especially against the background of the previous model, is of course a small part. Within two generations the Zafira made a real breakthrough. Andrei Yezhov, the editor here is only a small part of the possible variants of the transformation of the saloon elegant solution, which turns the average chair in a armchair, to Zafira Turer has not yet been offered. The metamorphosis occur rapidly and without further amplifiers-the FlexRail with multi-tiered sliding boxes-a clear find of designers and Opel Zafira Tourer (soon to be sold) All seats are fully integrated into the body, and to get the maximum capacity and a level floor do not need to be taken out by the real Trier must be, of course, with a transparent panoramic coverlet, not very deep-sheet A4 format is not placed in them. The ports for connection of external devices are hidden in the "All seeing eye" unit, it is Opel Eye, watches road signs and reports them to the drivers in the rich picking of Zafira Turer with all sorts of sensors: behind the road markings, behind the neighbors on the road, behind the signs, behind the road signs, behind the parking signs. The autopilot's not behind the mountains?The built-in bumper radar will warn of the dangerous proximity of the vehicle and, if necessary, activates the emergency braking of the Rebuild Aid Scheme is no longer a novelty, but ultrasound sensors are bigger than competitors in a pair with parking meters may seem excessive, but for a novice driver, The late-end bin next to the multimedia system is ideally suited for the storage of a mobile phone on the ground near the KP lever, the most important service keys: the electromechanical parking brake, the shutdown of the Start-Stop, the ESP, the parking and the control of the road markings-the most convenient of the possible-the comfort level of this configuration of the seats is comparable to the executive's sedans
