Vauxhall has made several city cars in the UK but the Corsa is one of the best-selling and ultra-efficient city car produced by Vauxhall, efficiency comes from the ultra refine Corsa engine.
In its life span the Corsa has received number of overhauls and refinement packages where the recent upgrades was received in 2014 and 2016, so that the tiny city car has become one of the fully loaded and the best city cars.
Now Vauxhall Corsa is in a better position to take on the rivals like Ford Fiesta, Renault Clio, Volkswagen Polo and its fellow models Vauxhall Adam in Europe.
Vauxhall Corsa has received a big package of new tweaks and changes to make this tiny city car a real success. It is not an all-new city car but after the makeovers, this old model turned into a pro.
These changes are way more than a facelift because, a number of body panels have been changed and in the interior there are considerable changes. The new refined model has bigger front and longer nose that looks more impressive appealing.
It has distinctive new headlamps along with the wider grille that remains a bit lower in this model. It shares a great resemblance to the Vauxhall Adam, but the Vauxhall Corsa is more stylish and design focused model.
Vauxhall has powered the Corsa with a range of impressively refined engines and reprofiled the engine compartment. In this section, Vauxhall has its focus on the performance and efficiency to make this city car a real success. Being a city car, it has all tiny engines that are ultra-fuel efficient and refined. But you have to put the VXR aside as these models have sport guises.
The Corsa engines have three cylinder 1.0-litre motors which are all turbocharged. These engines are capable of generating power from as low as 95bhp to the maximum to 115bhp. Every unit is exclusively refined and balanced for the speed and fuel efficiency and the most notable thing is that these engines are way quieter than the Ford EcoBoost three-cylinder 1.0-litre engines.
The lower powered model of the Corsa is capable of returning claimed fuel economy of 65.7 miles per gallon while being a very clean as it emits under 100g/km of carbon emissions. If we talk about the most efficient engine model of the Corsa than we will found it in the diesel engine line up. Yes! It is the 1.3 litre CDTi diesel engine that cranks around 75bhp to 95bhp from two power variants.
Vauxhall claims that this engine has a fuel economy of 88.3 miles per gallon and is even more refined than the petrol engines. These engines offer class leading performance but the all exclusive VXR engines return more than 200hp of power from their 1.6-litre engines.
This model has a top speed of 143 miles per hour. This is the only model that covers the benchmark speed of 62 miles per hour in just over 6 seconds. It will be a real success in the future for Vauxhall in the UK
