Vauxhall Zafira

This footage shows that Vauxhall is preparing to replace its now-ageing Zafira range. The seven-seater needs freshening up to meet the challenge of the latest compact MPVs - the new Scenic, Volkswagen Touran, Seat Altea and Focus C-MAX - and it will, in fact, be an all-new model built on the same underpinnings as the brand new Astra.

Looks-wise, it won't change too much, maintaining its identity as a family-sized people-carrier (a conventional new Astra estate will also be offered), but it will gain a sharper, more sculpted exterior with bolder headlamp and taillamp designs and a more dynamic roof profile. Expect a similar engine line-up to the mainstream Astra, an overhauled and up-specced cabin, and an official unveiling late this year or in early 2005.
