Vauxhall Announces Prices For All-New Corsa

 
All-new Corsa available to order now priced from £15,550 on the road; First deliveries arriving in Vauxhall showrooms in January 2020; Extensive technology and infotainment systems add comfort, convenience and connectivity

Vauxhall's all-new fifth generation Corsa, which features a new range of high efficiency petrol and diesel powertrains, is available to order now priced from £15,550 on the road.

Arriving in Vauxhall showrooms in January, the new Corsa has undergone a complete overhaul, with every engine variant of the new model emitting less CO2 than even the most efficient versions in the current Corsa. All powertrain options offer reduced fuel consumption, flexibility and refinement, while maintaining the same lively performance and fun driving experience.

Priced at £15,550, the entry-level model is the 1.2i (75PS) SE petrol engine with a 5-speed manual transmission.

For a diesel, prices start from £17,560 for the 1.5D (102PS) SE. Key features of this specification include 16-inch double spoke alloy wheels and a 7-inch touchscreen radio. A leather flat-bottom steering wheel adds a premium touch to the interior, while LED headlights and daytime running lights offer boosted visibility and safety.

Compared with the current powertrains of the Corsa range, the new engines have significantly reduced fuel consumption and emissions while retaining similar power outputs to the outgoing model. For the all-new Corsa, the engine line-up includes an entry level 1.2-litre (75PS) petrol unit and an award-winning three-cylinder, direct-injection turbocharged 1.2-litre (102PS) all-aluminium powertrain. The two petrol engines are joined by a four-cylinder, 1.5-litre diesel unit with 102PS and maximum torque of 250Nm.

Further to the enhancements made to the engine line-up, the powertrain improvements also include the transmission options. The 1.2-litre (75PS) entry-level engine is fitted with a five-speed manual gearbox as standard. With the 1.2-litre (100PS) unit, customers can choose from a six-speed manual or a smooth eight-speed lightweight automatic transmission.

Customers in the market for an all-electric version, can choose the all-new Corsa-e. Thanks to the common modular platform (CMP), various powertrains can be offered on one platform and produced on a single line.

The all-new Corsa offers numerous assistance systems, such as front collision warning with automatic emergency braking and pedestrian detection, intelligent speed control and limiter, lane keep assist and traffic sign recognition.

A range of new infotainment systems made up of Multimedia Radio, Multimedia Navi with 7.0-inch colour touchscreen and the top-of-the-line Multimedia Navi Pro with 10.0-inch colour touch screen. The new telematics service, Vauxhall Connect, is available in the all-new Corsa range.
