The main styling changes is the sharper front end with chiselled headlights, a new grille, and a redesigned bumper with widened air intake and new fog lamps. There is also a choice of six new alloy wheel designs, and the facelift brings the Corsa in line with its family look as seen in the new Astra and Meriva.

Inside, the facelifted Corsa gets better materials for its dashboard, and all models get new fabrics and designs for the interior. There is also a new Touch & Connect navigation system with a commuter function that uses TMC information to propose alternative routes in case of traffic problems, even when navigation is not in use.

Opel has also introduced a new Colour Line Series for the facelifted Corsa, which will be available across Europe. The Colour Line Series comes with an optional "Linea" pack, which includes two large stripes stretching across the length of the body with matching coloured 17-inch wheels and exterior mirror caps.
