Why blend in when you can stand out?

Corsa Limited Edition – you don’t look this sharp by chance. You need Corsa’s natural
style and a whole lot of attitude. Colour it all red, white, orange, black or yellow. Add black
mirrors, roof and dark style headlights. Match it with black 17-inch twin-spoke alloy wheels
and you can see the results for yourself.

Corsa. Fun and frugality in equal measure

Corsa’s range of ecoFLEX engines have been designed to save you money. So how
do we do it without losing Corsa’s fun, lively power delivery and driveability? Well,

the benefi t of improved fuel economy speaks for itself but lower CO

2

emissions mean

you’ll also benefi t from signifi cant tax savings.

Of course, we are always looking to further reduce vehicle CO2 emissions and we
already have some of the lowest emissions in Ireland. We’ve been researching ways

of developing new cars that are even more effi cient than ever before. The new

Opel Ampera is an Extended-Range Electric Vehicle (E-REV) that can drive up to
80 kilometres on battery power alone and over 500 kilometres utilising an on-board
electric generator system.

So there it is. You get all of Corsa’s sense of fun and our philosophy of forward
thinking – helping your money go further.

Corsa SE model illustrated features 17-inch alloy wheels, Adaptive Forward Lighting, dark-tinted rear windows and Guacamole paint which are all optional at extra cost.

The Corsa’s engine range is big on flexibility, economy and technology too.
Choose from our lively multi-valve petrol or our turbo diesel units and you can
be sure of great driveability and outstanding fuel economy. And if that isn’t
enough choice you could opt for Easytronic, automatic transmission or Opel’s
Start/Stop technology. Check out the model pages for individual availability.
Decisions, decisions?

Petrol engines. Corsa models are available with three, Euro 5 compliant petrol
engines – the 1.0i 12v ecoFLEX, the 1.2i 16v VVT and a 1.4i 16v VVT –
combining power and fuel efficiency with low CO

2

emissions.

ecoFLEX turbo diesels. Corsa’s Euro 5 diesel engine range features
a choice of two efficient 1.3CDTi 16v units (75PS and 95PS) that combine
performance, refinement and efficiency, offering superb environmental
credentials. Both Corsa diesel engines include diesel particulate filters.

Start/Stop technology. In addition, some of our engines benefit from
Start/Stop technology. This system switches the engine off when you stop
at the lights or in traffic, then restarts it automatically once the clutch is
depressed, saving fuel and reducing emissions even further. The AUTOSTOP
symbol housed within the rev counter indicates that the engine has stopped.
The system can be deactivated manually by simply pressing the ECO button
on the facia. Start/Stop drops the CO

2

emissions of the 1.2i 16v VVT from 129
to 119g/km, placing the vehicle inside tax band A (except if optional 17-inch
alloy wheels are added).

Easytronic. Choose Corsa’s optional
Easytronic transmission and you’ll get a
five-speed manual gearbox with a fully
automatic mode. In manual mode, you
push the lever forward or back to shift
gears up or down and by nudging the
lever to the side you switch to fully
automatic mode. There’s no clutch pedal
so you can drive it on an automatic-only
driving licence.

Transmissions. The 1.3CDTi 16v (95PS) SE comes with a six-speed manual
gearbox. The rest of the range comes with a five-speed manual as standard,
with sophisticated four-speed automatic (1.4i 16v) and five-speed Easytronic
(1.2i 16v) transmissions also available.

Shift-up indicator. Standard on every Corsa model, a
shift-up indicator on the rev counter alerts the driver
to the optimum time a gear change is required, further
enhancing fuel efficiency.

Chassis. We could just tell you that the Corsa chassis has been designed
to ensure pure driving pleasure without ever compromising ride comfort.
But wouldn’t it be better to discover how much fun it is to drive by trying one
for yourself? Then you’ll really be able to appreciate the benefits of a chassis
that features optimised spring, damper and anti-roll bar settings to combine
serious ride comfort with real agility. And an advanced Anti-lock Braking
System (ABS) that combines with other chassis safety features such as
cornering brake control and optional Electronic Stability Programme-plus to
improve stability and steering behaviour in a range of emergency situations.

Choose the Limited Edition model and you will also enjoy a lower ride height
and sportier spring and damper settings, plus progressive rate, variable ratio
power steering.

Details of engine availability and standard features can be found on the
individual model pages starting on page 17.
