NEW 2015 Opel Corsa revealed

Opel today reveals the new, fifth generation of the Corsa that will make its world premiere at the "Mondial de l'Automobile 2014" in Paris (October 4 to 19), rolling off the assembly lines in Zaragoza and Eisenach before the end of the year.

The chassis does not inherit a single component from the current Corsa. Straight line and cornering stability is increased thanks to a 5 millimeter lower center of gravity, a stiffer sub-frame, a new suspension geometry including a new front knuckle. As for the current Corsa, customers can choose between two chassis set-ups, Comfort and Sport. The Sport chassis has stiffer springs and shock absorbers as well as a specific steering geometry and calibration for a more direct response.

The highlight under the hood of the new so-called "Corsa E" of the fifth generation is the installation of Opel's newly-developed three-cylinder, 1.0 ECOTEC Direct Injection Turbo which already meets Euro 6 emission standards, is available in two output configurations, giving 66 kW/90 hp or 85 kW/115 hp.

The new Corsa's gasoline powertrain line-up is also extended with the introduction of a new 74 kW/100 hp 1.4-liter turbo engine with 200 Nm maximum torque, as well as further developed, Euro 6 compliant 1.2 and 1.4-liter naturally-aspirated units. In addition, completely revised, more refined and now also Euro 6 compliant 1.3 CDTI engines with 55 kW/75 hp and 70 kW/95 hp expand the Corsa offer on the diesel side. At launch, the most frugal Corsa version -- with 70 kW/95 hp, 5-speed manual transmission and Start/Stop -- emits just 89 g/km CO2. Additional low emission variants will follow as soon as next spring.
