New Corsa. Put the fun back into driving.

Get yourself into a New Corsa. And get a lot more fun out of life. With stunning new
styling, funky new colours and brilliant attention to detail, inside and out. A dynamic
chassis and punchy petrol or diesel engines. Plus, bags of clever features. It can only
make life better. Wherever you go. Whatever’s in store for you.

Dark-tinted rear windows, Adaptive Forward
Lighting, 17-inch alloy wheels and Guacamole
paint are optional at extra cost.

New Corsa. Check the style.

New Corsa looks brilliant from every angle. The seriously sporty three-door,
sharp and dynamic with real attitude. And the flexible five-door – maybe a little
more grown-up, but ever so versatile and wonderfully well proportioned.

Dark-tinted rear windows, 17-inch alloy wheels and

two-coat pearlescent paint are optional at extra cost.

New Corsa. The inside story.

On the inside, we’ve got sharp new fabrics, contemporary interior detailing and
an optional intuitive touch-screen navigation system complete with USB connection
and Bluetooth® facility. Every model has its own unique personality, so all you have
to do is choose the one that matches yours.

Why blend in when you can stand out?

New Corsa Limited Edition – you don’t look this sharp by chance. You need New Corsa’s natural style, a whole
lot of attitude, and the full VXR Styling Pack including a front lower spoiler, side sills, rear roof spoiler and rear
lower skirt. Colour it all red, white, black or yellow. Add black details and roof. Match it with black 17-inch
twin-spoke alloy wheels and you can see the results for yourself.

New Corsa. Get yourself noticed.

Want your New Corsa to really stand out from the crowd? Then choose
an Exclusiv, SXi or SRi and check out the optional Linea Stripes Pack.
Unique to these models, it also includes white 17-inch alloy wheels and
white door mirrors. Now that should get you noticed!

Respect your world.

We all share a responsibility to look after our world. That’s why Vauxhall has been at the
forefront of green automotive initiatives for many years. Of course, we are always looking
to further reduce vehicle CO2 emissions and our ecoFLEX models already have some of
the lowest emissions in the UK. The availability of our new Start/Stop models, producing
as low as 94g/km of CO2, further underlines our commitment to the environment.

Most recently, we have been researching ways of developing new cars that are even more
efficient than ever before. The forthcoming Vauxhall Ampera* is an Extended-Range
Electric Vehicle (E-REV) that can drive up to 50 miles on battery power alone and over
300 miles utilising an on-board electric generator system.

But our commitment to the environment goes even further. We have dramatically reduced
manufacturing emissions, and our new models use more recycled materials and more
recyclable parts than ever before.

We also offer free and easily accessible, environmentally friendly, end-of-life vehicle
disposal through our partners Autogreen Ltd. That way, we reduce our environmental
impact in every phase of every vehicle’s life cycle. Because your world is our world, too.

Corsa’s range of ecoFLEX engines have been

designed to save you money whilst not
compromising performance and driveability. The benefit of improved fuel economy
speaks for itself but lower CO

2

emissions also mean Vehicle Excise Duty (VED)
savings and lower company car taxation too. Take a look at the table below for all
the information.

Shift-up indicator. Standard on all models in the New
Corsa line-up. The shift-up indicator light on the rev
counter illuminates, alerting the driver to the optimum
time a gear change is required. A valuable aid designed
to further enhance fuel efficiency.

Petrol engines. New 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. New Corsa’s Euro 5 diesel engine range – a powerful 130PS

1.7CDTi 16v and a choice of efficient 1.3CDTi 16v units (75PS and 95PS) – combine
performance, refinement and efficiency, offering superb environmental credentials.
In addition, all New Corsa diesel models qualify for zero VED* in the first year.

Start/Stop technology. The New Corsa ecoFLEX
Start/Stop models – available on the 1.3 diesel and now
joined by a 1.2i 16v petrol variant – switch the engine off
when you stop at the lights or in traffic, then restart 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.
As the chart below shows, the New Corsa 1.3CDTi 16v (75PS) Start/Stop model cuts
CO

2

emissions considerably and improves fuel economy by as much as 4.9% over the
non-Start/Stop version. The 1.3CDTi 16v (95PS) Start/Stop engine reinforces Vauxhall’s
eco commitment even further, increasing fuel economy over the non-Start/Stop 75PS
models by an incredible 19.9% (3-door). In addition, all three Start/Stop engines cut
CO

2

by so much that they qualify for zero Vehicle Excise Duty* (VED) in the first year
and the 95PS diesel version for the life of the vehicle*.

Transmissions. The 1.3CDTi 16v (95PS) SE and SXi plus 1.7CDTi 16v SE and SRi diesel
models come 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) transmission models also available.

WARRANTY 100,000 MILE

Dynamic chassis system. The Corsa
chassis features optimised spring,
damper and anti-roll bar settings to
combine serious ride comfort with real
agility and is equally at home around
the city streets or out on the open road.
The advanced Anti-lock Braking System
(ABS) combines with other chassis
safety features to improve stability and
steering behaviour in a range of
emergency situations. Corsa, serious
fun and peace of mind whatever the
driving conditions.

ABS and ESP-plus. Corsa’s Anti-lock
Braking System (ABS) includes safety
features like Straight Line Stability
control and Cornering Brake Control
as standard. Electronic Stability
Programme-plus (ESP-plus) is optional
on all models. Turn to the Technical data
section for more details.

Speed-sensitive power assisted
steering. With Corsa’s power steering,

it’s easier to turn the wheel when
negotiating those tight parking spaces
around town, but more stable, with more
feedback, once you’re out on the open
road. Less stress, more driving pleasure.

Sporty models. Choose the Limited
Edition or SRi and you will also enjoy a
lower ride height, and sportier spring
and damper settings, plus progressive
rate, variable ratio power-steering for an
even more dynamic driving sensation.

A sense of fun. Okay, we could 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 it for yourself?

SXi model illustrated features 17-inch alloy wheels, Adaptive Forward Lighting,
