Opel facelifts the Corsa, add new EcoFlex engine
After giving us the facelifted Antara, Opel has revealed the facelifted Corsa the very next day. The super mini has been updated with a sharper front incorporating a new grille and front bumper along with new fog lights housings. Talking about the front, don’t you think there are similarities with the Mazda2? Moving on, the exterior update is also complemented by new wheels (six of them) as well as a larger Opel Blitz logo on the tailgate.
The interior now has a more textured dashboard and the trim levels have been upgraded with new fabric and decor options. Opel has also introduced a new trim level for the European market called Color Line Series. This trim level can be equipped with an optional Linea package which adds two racing stripes and matching 17-inch wheels and door mirror caps.
There is also a new navigation option called Touch & Connect with a five-inch touch screen display which can propose alternative routes in case there are traffic problems. It is also Bluetooth, iPod as well as USB compatible too.
There is also a change under the hood, an addition to be more precise. The new Corsa now comes with a new diesel engine called the EcoFlex 1.3 CDTI featuring an engine start/stop system as standard. This engine makes a decent 95hp and allows the Corsa to offer a combined fuel economy reading of 3.6 liters per 100 kilometers and emits only 95 grams of CO2 per kilometer.
The 3-door variant with this engine only uses 3.5 liters per 100 kilometers while emitting 94 grams of CO2 per kilometer. The new Opel Corsa which is also sold as the Vauxhall Corsa in the UK is set to go on sale next January. Continue reading to view an image gallery.
