The 2010 Vauxhall Zafira belongs to the Zafira B generation, built 2005–2010. 2010 was the final year of this generation, so it is the most developed version of the design. The Zafira C / Zafira Tourer replaced it from 2011. Model years from 2009 onward carry the mid-life facelift, so a 2010 car is a post-facelift example. New engines for 2010: 1.7 CDTI 125. 2010 was the last year for: 2.2 VVT 150, 2.0 Turbo 240, 1.9 CDTI 120, 1.9 CDTI 150. Body styles: MPV. The engine range listed for this period includes 1.6 TwinPort 115, 1.8 VVT 140, 2.2 VVT 150, 2.0 Turbo 240 and more. Owners often keep a Vauxhall Zafira workshop manual to hand for servicing and repairs.
