Opel Corsa Update for 2024

The cute Corsa has been given a visual makeover and update for 2024. Here’s a look at the changes.

Despite the popularity of crossovers and small SUVs, there’s still a market for compact hatchback. A glance at the sales figures locally for the Volkswagen Polo and Vivo will confirm this. The Opel Corsa is still around and recently the Corsa Lite name made a return to the SA showrooms.

Internationally, the Opel Corsa update has just been announced and it consists of a visual update, some trim upgrades and an enhanced feature offering. Visually, the Opel Corsa update adopts the same styling cues and design language as the Opel Mokka. There are new alloy wheels as well as a new Grafik Gray paint colour.

Opel Corsa facelift revealed: Visor face, Snapdragon cockpit, new hybrid

The Opel Corsa has been given a midlife makeover, and that means a fresh new look for the German hatch, as well as a more digitised cabin and new hybrid powertrain tech.

On the outside, it becomes one of the last Opels to adopt the firm’s ‘Visor face’ design, in which the headlights and grille are combined into a single unit inspired by the visor of a motorcycle helmet.

We also see improved ‘Intelli-Lux’ Matrix headlights, which now have 14 LED elements. At the back it receives new ‘Corsa’ lettering in the centre of the tailgate and the styling changes are rounded off by a new exterior colour called Grafik Grey.

The cabin, although retaining its familiar design and layout, has been given something of a digital overhaul.

Opel is offering a fully digital cabin as an option, complete with a new 10-inch (25.4cm) touchscreen infotainment centre. The new system integrates the Snapdragon Cockpit Platform from Qualcomm Technologies, and boasts enhanced graphics and artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities, which you can exploit by saying “Hey Opel”.

There’s also a new navigation system offering plenty of connected services and, for the first time, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto can be connected wirelessly.

 
Vauxhall Corsa gets dramatic facelift, second electric powertrain and more kit

Supermini’s design overhauled as Vauxhall Corsa Electric gets two power outputs

Recognise that face? That’s Vauxhall’s ‘Vizor’ - the basis of its so-called brand identity - which has already been applied to the Astra, Mokka, Grandland and Astra Sports Tourer, and now finds itself on this: the heavily refreshed Corsa supermini.

In styling terms it's a big departure from the pre-facelift Mk6 car, which for our money was already the best-looking small Vauxhall ever. Alas, other additions include those 17in alloys with black-effect detailing, and that shark fin antenna at the rear.

There’s also LED matrix headlights which block off the beam to oncoming traffic, and the model name’s been spelled out along the width of the bootlid in that most curious of modern trends.
Meanwhile the Corsa Electric variant gains a new 51kWh battery (the old one was 50kWh) but there’s a 15 per cent improvement in range, claims Vauxhall, rising to 255 miles.

New Opel Corsa Electric comes with 156 hp and 402 km range

Opel updated its best-selling electric hatchback with a new design, a choice of two electric powertrains, and a much-improved range. Although on the outside, this is only a refresh with new headlights, a new bumper, and a grille to keep the car more in line with other Opel electric vehicles, there is more hiding under the visual updates.

From the outside, the new Corsa looks like a smaller version of Astra, it loses its individuality, but it gains brand identity. But once we pass the nice, safe, if not unremarkable exterior, the interior is where the big changes are happening.

For the first time Corsa gets the fully digital cockpit experience courtesy of Qualcomm and its Snapdragon Cockpit. The new 10-inch display takes care of all the infotainment, and the enhanced graphics bring the user interface to a whole new level. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are both supported wirelessly and out of the box, plus there are wireless chargers for phones to make driver’s life as easy as possible.

New 2023 Vauxhall Corsa range topped by £38,585 EV

Specifications revealed with dramatic redesign, new powertrain and upgraded 246-mile EV for popular supermini

Prices for the new Vauxhall Corsa start at under £20k and rise to... £38,585

Affordable supermini gets decent spec but feels less affordable than ever before

Vauxhall has confirmed the pricing and a host of details for the facelifted Corsa. And the first thing of note is the new Vauxhall Corsa in its top spec is... not cheap.

Starting from just under £20,000 for the entry level 1.2-litre manual, the range tops out at an eye-watering £38,585 for, you’ve guessed it, the Corsa Electric.

Granted, the refreshed supermini does come with a raft of styling tweaks and interior upgrades. The brand says the line-up’s been simplified, too.

The biggest change is the integration of Vauxhall’s Vizor front end. That’s the crested band stretching between the LED matrix headlights and packed with a tonne of tech for driver and safety assistance. Other styling changes include 17in black alloys and a black badge/lettering/roof package for GS and Ultimate trims.

Battle of the superminis: Vauxhall Corsa vs Dacia Sandero vs Skoda Fabia

After nearly 50 years, the Ford Fiesta is dead, so long live the... wait, which of the current crop of superminis should we go for?

1: Skoda Fabia Colour Edition 1.0 TSI 95 - 8/10
Skoda's smallest is by no means perfect, but it's a great all-rounder with some nice little touches inside

2: Dacia Sandero Expression TCe90 - 8/10
The Sandero's schtick is its budget price, so the new lifestyle branding is odd, but the car has a certain charm

3: Vauxhall Corsa GS 1.2 Turbo - 6/10
Vauxhall's big seller remains as average as ever - it's not a bad car as such, it's just not very interesting

Well at least it comes with 6 airbags. I still can't believe they are selling the Polo with only 2 in this day and age.
 
Vauxhall Corsa Electric review

WHAT'S THE VERDICT?

“It’s significantly less peacocky than its Honda or Mini rivals, and it’ll go further and has tons more room for people”

If you’ve been curious about going electric but are a little risk-averse, the Corsa Electric might just be for you. It’s significantly less peacocky than its Honda or Mini rivals, and it’ll go further and has tons more room for people to compensate.

The mid-life facelift undoubtedly improves the exterior looks: this is a very smart looking supermini. We just wish Vauxhall had paid the same attention to the cabin, which feels a little dull and uninspired by comparison.

And there’s no shying away from the price. A £32k starting price - or nearly £40k in top spec - for a Corsa? Vauxhall can bang the drum about the cost of ownership parity with the ICE variant all it likes, but that still seems wishful thinking.

Vauxhall took few risks when electrifying the Corsa, and while the facelift has improved the looks, we wish it’d been braver inside
