Modern small turbo engines are very 'torquey' at low revs. Our Peugeot 2008 1.2 puretech 130 EAT6 has an ample 130Nm at only 1750 r.p.m. Unless you have a heavy right foot the auto box changes up at around 2500 rpm. The engine speed is usually somewhere between 1500 and 2000 revs. Top (6th) gear gives a relaxed 30mph per 1000 revs and is rarely engaged on single carriageways unless the autobox is (easily) overridden. It would be interesting to experience the way in which the turbo Zafira's (presumably) ZF 'easytronic' automated manual behaves with the Peugeot's TC Aisin EAT6.

A Zafira 1.4 turbo has 200nm of torque from 1850-4900rpm

Bit surprised about that. The 1.4TSI 140/150 PS VAG engine has 250nm of torque over a similar rev band.

I was thinking the same thing as I typed but those are the figures I can find for that 140bhp version the engine. I wondered if the torque was pegged back because the auto box struggled to deal with it, but the peak torque for the manual is the same. The following 150bhp version (which for some reason doesn't seem have made it into the Zafira Tourer) has (in the Astra) 245nm as a manual and 230nm as an auto.
