The Opel Corsa was a strong player in the small car segment starting with 1982.
The successful 6th generation Opel Corsa was updated in 2010. Besides more available features and a redesigned face, Opel introduced a new range of engines compliant to the Euro 5 emission standards.
With the redesigned front grille, the reshaped headlamps and the refreshed radiator grille, the new Corsa feature a more expressive and sportier look.
To further personalise the small car, Opel introduced new exterior colors and interior looks.
Inside, Opel installed a new infotainment system called “Touch & Connect” that came with a 5-inch color touchscreen, a navigation system, Bluetooth connectivity, as well as iPod and USB connections.
While from the outside, the Corsa seemed rather small, the interior space was surprising, for both the front and the rear occupants.
Not many competitors in the segment offered the features available with the Corsa, such as a heated steering wheel, halogen Adaptive Forward Lighting, Hill Start Assist, a panorama sunroof or an integrated bicycle carrier.
The entire range of engines was reworked to offer more power, lower fuel consumption and reduced CO2 emissions. The diesel powerplants’ power ranged between 75 hp and 130 hp, while the most powerful 1.6-liter turbo that offered 192 hp was to be found on the sportier Opel Corsa OPC.
Comfort was also enhanced in 2010 as the chassis received significant improvements. Opel revised the dampers, the springs, the anti-roll bars, the steering gear and the ESP, thus the new Corsa was more refined and offered improved stability.
