12 Jul 2014|2,323 views
Vauxhall, known as Opel here, has unveiled the new Corsa ahead of its debut at the Paris Motor Show in October.
The new Corsa is near-identical in length to the current model and retains its enviable space utilisation for occupants.
While the basic dimensions of the Corsa's cabin remain largely the same, almost everything that sits in it has been redesigned. A new driver control centre takes pride within the newly designed instrument panel, which is themed around horizontal lines.
The new Corsa is also the first high-volume Vauxhall to be available with IntelliLink, the innovative communications system which has already been seen in the Adam. Options will include heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, ambient interior lighting and a panoramic sunroof - among others.
The engines will be connected to new manual and automatic transmissions that have improved shift quality and greater efficiency.
A completely redesigned chassis underpins the new Corsa, with all new suspension components including front knuckle joints that promise to deliver more taut and precise handling. The model also has a new speed-sensitive electric power steering system and a centre of gravity that is five millimetres lower than its predecessor.
The model also gains a variety of new safety systems including High Beam Assist, Lane Departure Warning, Side Blindspot Alert, Hill Start Assist and Automatic Park Assist - just to name a few.
More details about the new Corsa, including full pricing, will be revealed closer to its debut.

Looking instantly recognisable, the fourth generation model adopts an Adam-inspired front fascia with a wide grille that is flanked by distinctive headlights.

Under the bonnet, new engines and transmissions will be available from launch. A 1.0-litre, three-cylinder ECOTEC Direct Injection Turbo - just one of a raft of new engines from Vauxhall's new powertrain offensive - will headline in the petrol offerings, while a much-improved 1.3-litre CDTi, which meets stringent Euro 6 regulations, will appeal to diesel buyers.
