The New Opel Corsa carries the hopes of an entire brand on its shoulders. But is its price too off-putting?
The New Opel Corsa has the heavy responsibility of succeeding a flagship model in the city car segment. While the combustion version is expected to satisfy its audience, it will need to find its place in the highly competitive 100% electric market, where registrations have increased by 63% since the beginning of the year.
Corsa, Opel’s Pillar
The new Corsa features numerous updates:
- New front design incorporating the Opel Vizor
- Instrument cluster based on Qualcomm Technologies’ Snapdragon Cockpit platform
- New infotainment system up to 10’’
- Eco Full LED headlights (standard)
- Matrix IntelliLux LED lights with 14 segments (optional)
Another significant evolution is Opel’s ongoing “detox” strategy aimed at greater simplicity. The New Opel Corsa is available in only two trim levels (Corsa and GS) and three types of powertrains (gasoline, 100% electric, and soon hybrid MHEV).
Gasoline at a Cut-Price!
Opel apparently wanted to boost sales of the petrol-powered Corsa, and it seems they went all out. The New Corsa lineup is available for order starting at €19,200 for the 75 hp petrol version, versus… €36,050 for the 136 hp electric version and €37,600 for the new 156 hp extended-range electric model. Almost double! This is baffling when Citroën’s relatives just launched the ë-C3, Europe’s cheapest electric car on the market, under €20,000 including bonuses. And we’re expecting its direct rival, the Renault R5, in a few weeks!
Opel Pricing:
The lineup of the New Corsa, now simplified to just 7 versions, is available to order starting at €19,200 for the 75 hp gasoline (Corsa trim) and €36,050 for the 136 hp electric (note that the prices for the MHEV hybrid versions will be announced later).
1.2 75 hp BVM5 Corsa: €19,200
1.2 Turbo 100 hp BVM6 Corsa: €20,700
1.2 75 hp BVM5 GS: €21,100
1.2 Turbo 100 hp BVM6 GS: €22,400
1.2 Turbo 100 hp BVA8 Corsa: €22,700
1.2 Turbo 100 hp BVA8 GS: €24,400
1.2 Turbo 130 hp BVA8 GS: €26,000
Electric 136 hp Corsa: €36,050
Electric 136 hp GS: €36,900
Electric 156 hp GS: €37,600
Hopefully for the brand, the low-cost petrol version won’t overshadow its small electric sister.
