The rear two seats can be sunk thereby completely in the floor of the car, which middle seat row (3 places) fold up and forward push. This makes a maximum variability possible, whereby - to have to develop without the seats - between up to seven seats or a very large reservoir it can be decided. Due to this high variability, which was to be found during the introduction of the Zafiras to Germany with no other Kompaktvan, and to which good quality the Zafira sells itself very well.
