Vauxhall Zafira changing the back seat formation

- Demonstrating the different seat combinations of the Vauxhall Zafira. I have not done this for over a year, so rather than doing perfect takes i have shown how easy it is to figure out even after not using for a long time. I have added this video showing the exact space with the seats set at the maximum load carrying capacity with the exact measurements. • Vauxhall Zafira maximu...

Thank you for the video. Having all that space in my car means i can have huge clearout and donate lots of unwanted items to charities and deliver in one go 😊
Thank you for taking time to film and upload this great video! I've just purchased a 2010 Zafira and looking forward to all the space and seating combinations.
Always, Thank you for your kind words sir.
Any help regarding the roof my one doesn't close
We have had this car from new and it is the only brand new car I have bought that has not been back for anything, not even a trim clip.
Great video Paul, very informative
Thank you, not the most professional and i am sure there are slicker out there, but it does give an idea of what the car is about, there are still loads on the roads in the UK.
Great vid Paul, cheers.
Hi there. Awesome job mate. That's more than helpful for a people considering purchase of Zafira B. Thanks a lot! Appreciate that.
Ytg
wow thank you so much was worried our teen wouldn't fit in the back as getting so tall will now go looking for one :)
I struggled with the 3rd row you’ve made I look easy glad to have found this vid
Thank you.
Gracias sos el único en TH-cam que subió el video mostrando lo que buscaba
Fantastic video. I'm thinking about buying a Zafira and have been looking for a video like yours for ages! Surprisingly hard to find so I'm very grateful to have found yours.
Very well filmed with good lighting and photography and detailed content of all the features.
Thank you,
NoAxe
The load cover stores at the back with all seven seats up.
i have had a 57 Zafira 4 years now and did not know the middle seat base folds up lol
This is actually very cool
Thanks for the video. Bought a 2014 model. It's excellent
It is such a versatile car, a truly Jack of all Trades.
Paul Briden definitely there are 6 of us and now FINALLY my wife and myself can take our kids out all the the same time
Just bought one today. Tried out all the variations shown, very easy to work out. The dog loves the extra room at the back.
Great to hear!. They really are a very practical car. Not bad to drive either.
@@PaulBriden Comfy drive with plenty of kick when needed. Having mine serviced today with every finger crossed. Though I do feel it may need a new alternator.
@@JojoChampion Here is how you test your alternator. th-cam.com/video/xjR-y0fvRv8/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for your video I was undecided but know after watching your video I am definitely going to buy one
Glad I could help
Haha 😂 bought one. My husband is mechanic and he trusted me on buying second car. Nice size trunk I sad 😂 scrolled some videos and realised I have bought 7 seat car 🤦🏻♀️ bought last week but because off paper work could collect only today 😂 I’m surprised 😍😂
Overall the best car we have ever had.
wow. so roomy and comfy
Perfect seat change.
Brilliant video. So useful. Wasn't sure whether to buy a Galaxy or Zafira but watching your video has made me realise how much room it provides.
I must admit we have thought about selling it a few times, but then you ask yourself apart from the car being a few years old now why ?. I guess this answers why there are so many still around when the last one was sold in 2014. We will keep this car until it stops, it is just so useful and has saved us so much money in van hire. It is worth remembering there are many different specs and wheel sizes. The climate control is superb in this model....keep Safe !!!!
@@PaulBriden Thanks for the tip on the spec. Didn't know wheel sizes are different but I have already come across another one that is more expensive than the one I am looking at but older. The spec is better. Its an Exclusiv and I was looking at a Design Nav CDTi. I guess with lockdown being eased there is about to be a lot more choice. Yeah... you stay safe too :)
@@DianeCorriette Ours is an Exclusive Capital One model. What this means is over and above the Exclusive it has, 17 inch wheels, privacy glass, climate, telephone connection, full size spare, parking sensors front and back and electric heated mirrors. It is however a 1.8 petrol. It was sold by dealers that were within a certain distance of the M25, hence the title Capital in the name.
@@PaulBriden It just got even more exciting... I have discovered the Tourer lol
I just got this car in a deal I’m collecting it tomorrow thanks for this
How's it going with the car? Picking up an 03 plate today..
You have such a nice clean car, i purchased a zafira b second hand with low mialege, but the car was filthy as anything and i did my best to clean up the car i bought ..
It is easy when you have owned the car from new, also we do not smoke, no pets in the car and small children very rarely. We try not to eat in the car and when we employ it to take stuff down the tip we always use large towels and old blanket's to protect the interior. We are all different and I guess people do what they want with their cars or whatever else they own. I for one cannot stand sitting in a motorised dust bin...lol...lol
I just bought one of these babies (2002 model) and I wanted it before I even knew it had two seats in the back. Now I was trying to figure out how to get those back two seats down and/or out so I landed here. I am going to try all these tricks later tonight. I am tall too (as well as big in various other respects... :/ ) and this car was just immediately right for me. Very informative video, thanks for sharing!
Thanks for that, i could have made this a lot slicker but we wanted to do it in the flesh with me not having moved the seats for a year. As an all round car this is the best we have had by miles. It has saved us van hiring fees loads of times. We bought it new and it is the only new car we have had that has never had to go back to the dealer, not even for a trim clip.
CONGRATULATIONS on the 1 Million views Paul.
For something we did off the cuff to help a few people, it is amazing. Maybe we should have taken more time and linked stages for a more professional viewing experience. Maybe the off the cuff charm showing me struggling to figure out the different seat connotations after a year, gives the video a real world experience that viewers can relate to. Thank you.
I am 4 years owner. Back seat can move up and front at the same time. I just learned from you. I love my zafira more now.
Thank you !!!
Thanks paul 👏
Shit I have had this car 4 years and didn't realise you could squash the back seats up again st the front like that 👍👍

Me too.. absolute game changer
Nore did i hhhh
@Pete Coventry Thanks for sharing that info. I have been thinking of buying one for that exact reason and wasn't sure about space
Thanks for that Paul. Seems like a versatile car. I am considering purchasing an older version (2003'ish).
It is the best car we have ever had, it does everything, we have had faster cars, soft top cars, flash cars.....but this does everything, master of all.
Does the front passenger seat fold down? Paul
I do not know, i will have a go when i get the chance.
Marilyn Wisbey yes, it does! At least mine has this feature
Ha 3:34 I didn't know it did that. I was going to remove those seats tomorrow to make more space.. don't have to now.. thanks pal good information
I loved it.
Nice One mate. Just bought a 2010 Elite model and wondered how this all worked. Cheers.
love Zafira...
Hey there,
Nice vid.
In the Hunt for a MPV....
Wat year id this model?
Thats super cool, extremely convinient! American cars have got to catch up. We just have to!
Merci POPAUL ! pour cette magnique démonstration ... la prochaine fois, une ' RÉPÉTITION ' serait nécessaire , mais j' ai beaucoup apprécié .
Nice one mate...worth all your effort........
Thank you !!!!
The cover can be put back on behind the two folded up seats in the same way you originally had it before you put the seats up
Yes your right. I agree its not the most professional, but i wanted to show how versatile the interior space is when have not converted it for a long time.
good handy vid fella cheers
I like it . Superb
Thank you for your help 👍
Happy to help
a decent demo
Fantastic video vauxhall ought to sponsor you
Thanks for the video. I', looking at getting one. Though can you tell me, from the back front passenger seat pulled forward. Do you know the measurement from there to the back door. ( Can't find it anywhere on the internet just as all the other reviews they talk of litres and not cm length.. ) Thanks.
Sorry I do not have a clue. I am 6ft 1 with a size 33 inch inside leg if that gives you an idea of space.
Thanks a lot!
The best!
Good vid. How much flat space (length) is there in the back with the back seats down and the middle row pushed forward? I was thinking of buying one of these Zafiras, to replace my Nissan Almera Tino, but am concerned that the middle row seats on the Zafira are not easily removable, unlike with the Tino. In the Tino, with the rear seats removed, there is enough length in the back to lie down (for me, at least), even though it's a shorter MPV, overall.
I do not know but we were able to put a double divan bed in the back, both sections and shut the tailgate.
A great and useful care with loads of space. Why aren't all cars made like this?
All round it is the best car we have ever had. It has not even been back for a trim clip.
@@PaulBriden I'm looking to buy a Zafira, petrol. Is there anything I should be looking for? The car I'm going to look at It has 45,000 miles on the clock and it had a new clutch recently, I wonder if it's been driven hard to have a new clutch fitted so early.
thanx a lot, thats helpfully
Most welcome!
I'll never understand why Holden stopped selling the Zafira in Australia/NZ. It's a bloody brilliant car.
Global market trend towards impractical urbanized SUVs.
All the size of an MPV with none of the utility.
hello, great vid...
what year is this one ?
i am thinking about getting the 2002 model, and would like to know if that would work just the same .
This model is the last of the Zafira B it is a 2014 model. This type ran from 2005-2014. I believe the older model has the same seating arrangement, but it is nowhere as near as nice to drive.
@@PaulBriden ok,thanks a lot
Yes it does.As I have a 2002 model.
Una auto monovolume super comoda e capiente oltre tutto bella
Красавчик..) Спасибо.
Thank you
You're welcome
Do all the seats come out ( back seats) use it as a van? camper van?
I guess you could unscrew them and take them out, but as a quick release feature, to the best of my knowledge, No.
Quite a workout too!
Hi there, can u please tell me where did you buy that rubber boot liner. Actually i am looking for the same one but couldn't find it.
We bought it from a Vauxhall dealer when we bought the car new. If you contact a dealer I am sure they will give you the part number. I have just looked at the brochure the car came with. It was part of an accessory pack called the Protection Pack. It included Velour mats, Mudflaps and Cargo liner. I scanned the QR code in the brochure to try and get a part number for you, however, it no longer works. I suggest this is because the car has not been current for a long time.
Спасибо Paul, все понятно.
Take a shot when he says "what you can do" 😂😂
Great video btw
Catch phrase....lol
Thanks! Gave mine a good clear out, put the seats up, realised I had no clue how to put them back!
Oops!
excelente video , Vauxhall zafira ? acá en Argentina se llama Chevrolet Zafira y es igual te envío un like , saludos desde Argentina
Esta e a opel zafira so tem na europa a da america e a spin
Iiioiiioo
@@ferreirinha5572 no,la spin es otra,aca en argentina es chevrolet zafira
Hi friend, your video is very helpful. But mine middle seat is not sliding. It seems to have stuck. Can you please help with any idea?
Without seeing the seat it is difficult to diagnose. I would get someone to operate the lever and you look under the seat to check the mechanism is working. There mayby something just stuck under the seat like an old coke can. If the mechanism is okay then spray some silicon lubricant on the rails to free the seat.
Paul how did you raise the bak seat base up. Where is the release button for that
There is not one, you just pull the handles in the floor and lift. The handles release the seats as well as acting as a lift for them.
Is it possible to get rid completely of the middle seats? Is it difficult? I'm planning to buy zafira and convert it to a minicamper van. I'd leave the rear seats as they fold so neatly!
You could probably unscrew them and remove them. By removing them you gain 12 inches. th-cam.com/video/QykvpZg_GZg/w-d-xo.html
Hi, dose this car fit 4 large suitcases? I have 4 people and 4 large suitcases.
Yes, easy.
Over here in Australia it's called the holden zafira. They phased it out after 2005 or so and they tend to be the 2.2 liter engine with many of them being automatic transmission. There's barely ANYTHING if I search for holden zafira but I am glad I tried Vauxhall instead. They're very cheap here, some 160 thousand kms or less for like 1500 pounds. I have been considering one for sleeping in in caravan parks instead of using overpriced motels. No such thing as a cheap motel here. Often 60 or 70 pounds a night even for a crumby one. Honestly if you are going to stay in motels for more than 25 nights, you might as well get a van to sleep in.
We do not sleep in this car, too old for that, but it has saved us a lot of money as far as van hire is concerned. The best all round car we have very owned. This one has parking sensors front and back, climate, full size spare, privacy glass, 19 inch alloys, phone connection, and computer. We are really pleased with it.
I have a 2002 Elegance 2.2 litre model that I was surprised how economical on a long run this car is. You do need to check CV joints and the shocks' and springs on a model of this age.@@PaulBriden
We love the car, it has never been back for anything from new. The best car we have ever owned for reliabilty and cost.

How is your car so clean most 7 seater cars usually mean kids and kids destroy cars but yours is spotless
Because we have no kids of a destructive age or dogs. When we use the car for carrying rubbish or large items we use old sheets to protect the inside of the car. The hoover it out afterwards.
I've got two teenage son's their world is the fridge the food the fridge the food. . . . So un-PC constantly whistling at every piece of passing skirt ( now whose unPC) both 6 footer's. The 3rd row, looks like the boys would have their knees up around their ears, Really low seat or high floor? NE way Thank you Mr Gabriel
I do not know but I am 6ft 1 and take a size 18.5 shirt so that gives you an idea of perspective. I think the floor is normal height. The seats are low. The very back seats are a bit of a compromise but they would be, its not a full size limousine. At my height I would not like to be in the third row for a 100 miles. However, what you have to take into account is leg lengths for two 6ft 1 males can vary as much as 2-3 inches depending if you have a long body etc etc.
My rear seat handles have been literally torn out of the seats due to their regular usage. The same thing happened to sun shades, the hand brake handle and the ashtray. That's how crappy Opel is.
You must have yanked them up with brute force because as you can see they are easy to erect.
abmaximus same problem things just break off and apart in this car
It can only be the way you treat the car, we have never had a problem, we have a friend with 3 kids, yes the seats are stained and the car is how you would expect with small children, but nothing has broken.

a way better video than most of this type
Cheques in the post....Many thanks !!!!
Anyone know if an 04 Zafira offers same seating options as this?
Yes, I bought one recently (an 04 Zafira) and it's exactly like this.
I do believe it does, not quite as slick but i do believe they are very similar, the main improvement on the newer model is the ride and handling. Just to make sure, if you go and look at one just ask them to demonstrate the seating to you. At the end of the day if it does not offer what you want you do not have to buy it.
Thanks for the replies. :)

Good thing your zafira b didn't go on fire
I was hoping to find out how to do the middle section but you looked like you bypassed that bit and went straight onto limo???
It is all there. 1.29 it takes a second. Then 1.59 another option.
Couldn't see how you got seats up
How old is this car? trying to work out if its the same as a friend has

Hi mate, can you remove the middle set of seats completely? Cheers
You can unbolt anything but I never have.
Thought I knew everything about the rear seats after two years of ownership.....didn’t realise there was a release button on the rear bucket seat.....😂
Gr8 car thx
Hi, what about sleeping at the back? Does anyone knows the max length of free space at the back once the seats are collapsed and the others seats push forward?
Thanks!!
Sorry we have never used it as a camper.
Thanks for the reply!
Can the 3 middle seats get removed completely or collapsed ?
Just collapsed. You could of course remove them with the correct tools, but as part of the package, no.
I have done a video showing the exact space with the seats set at maximum load carrying capacity. th-cam.com/video/GSuijV0Ys9U/w-d-xo.html
Спасибо большое за информацию
My sisters borrowed my Volvo XC90 and I was trying to figure out how to fold up the seats. So I could take some waste to the city tip. Btw the 1.9 diesel is slow a hell. This 60 reg has only cover 38k.
Thanks
There not designed to go fast, saying this, they did do the VXR 2.0 turbo with 237 bhp which was a fast way of getting to the tip.
@@PaulBriden 🤣 roflmao, I've taken one run to the tip. I'm in no rush to get there te-he-he. I don't want to ruin the clean interior in my sisters car. First day off from work and my wife asks me to clear out the garage. 😔
Tanks bro
Is it big enough to sleep in ? I am 6 foot.
With the seats set as far back yes.
Thanks for the reply Paul, Am looking for a people Carrier as family is getting bigger.
Really good for a wheelchair
Does it comes with Paul the helper ?
If your name is Jennifer Aniston yes, if not, sadly no.
@@PaulBriden There should be a small message

What does double divan split in half mean?
The base of a bed is normally made up of two parts in the UK. So splitting it in half means just that.
@@PaulBriden Thanks Paul, so basically I can put a normal double mattress in flat?
Looking to buy my first Zafira soon for camping reasons.
@@andrewspires2730 Nope you can take the two parts of a bed down to the tip one on top of the other in the back. I do not think it is adequate as a camper, however, what you do is entirely your affair.
nice video sir 👍🔥 , i have same car, model 2006. am very satisfy. its best made in germany van 🥂🎊
Great 👍
Hi do you think you could fit a motorcycle in one of these
Depends how big the motorbike is ?
That was hard work lol 😂
I like this car
👌👍
Opel zafira!
They are actually good cars especially the old model with a 2.0 diesel chain cam engine I once saw a taxi man with 325k on the clock
Agreed, one of the best cars they have ever done. Shame they have removed the Zafira Tourer from the line up. The trouble is now that Vauxhall is French and not American they are streamlining the range to fit in with the corporate branding.
Yes cheap electric components and wiring = troublesome engine codes codes and inferior parts that don't last
@@cassk9999 Ours has not been back for anything in all the years we have had it from new.
