The entry-level 1.6-litre Expression still costs ΂£12,995, but at ΂£14,995 the 1.6-litre Life has been slashed by ΂£350. It also boasts alloy wheels, side airbags and roof rails as standard - all absent from the outgoing version. Diesel versions are available from ΂£16,995, while the range-topping 197bhp Zafira Design 2.0 turbo is available for ΂£20,445. All models will feature Vauxhall's clever Flex7 seating.

Customers ordering a 1.6 or 2.2-litre petrol Zafira Life or the 118bhp diesel version before the end of July will also be offered a special launch package. This features extras valued at ΂£1,050, including cruise control and special alloy wheels, but will only cost buyers ΂£500. Vauxhall has also revealed prices for the 236bhp Astra VXR hot hatch. It will cost from ΂£18,995 when deliveries start in September, undercutting the VW Golf GTI by ΂£1,000. In addition, a new 90bhp 1.7-litre CDTI diesel engine has been added to the Astra line-up, with prices starting from ΂£13,895.
