Review of the 2018 Opel Corsa
It is not 100% new, this fifth generation. But, upgrade chassis, engines and embedded technologies, the small Opel recalls to our good memory. It lacks a little comfort ...
After the failure of the alliance with PSA and the cancellation of some common programs, Opel had, in disaster and alone, to work on the implementation of the replacement of Corsa fourth generation. Obviously, there is no question here of starting from a white sheet, hence a silhouette close to the one it replaces. Its chassis, on the other hand, has been reworked with the aim of improving the comfort-handling compromise - one of the weaknesses of its predecessor. Under the hood, the novelties are few, the only new engine being the three-cylinder Ecotec, a 1.0 petrol turbo developing 115 hp. All other blocks, be they gasoline (1.2 of 70 hp, 1.4 of 90 hp, 1.4 Turbo of 100 hp and 1.6 Turbo of 207 hp) or diesel (1.3 CDTI of 75 and 95 hp), are developments more or shallower than those already known aboard the fourth draft.
