Vauxhall Zafira Tourer: More Details

Vauxhall Zafira Tourer It wouldn’t be difficult to get more details on the Vauxhall Zafira Tourer, certainly as far as photos go. All we’ve had so far is a hologram of the Zafira Tourer hovering over an iPad held by designer Mark Adams. But now we at least get a set of photos.

Vauxhall Insignia facelift stars at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show

Ten years on from the very first Insignia concept, unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show back in 2003, Vauxhall is showcasing a new, facelifted Insignia here at Frankfurt 2013.
