The Zafira Tourer’s panoramic windscreen extends all the way to the glass roof in the middle of the vehicle, giving all occupants a 180-degree exterior view while creating a bright interior. Another highlight of the Zafira Tourer interior is a unique Flex7 seating system. The three second-row seats can be easily converted into two larger, extra-comfortable seats.
