New Corsa’s range
of ecoFLEX engines
clearly demonstrates that environmental awareness can
go hand in hand with performance and driveability.
The benefit of improved fuel economy speaks for itself
but lower CO2emissions mean you’ll also benefit from
significant tax savings.
Petrol engines. New Corsa models are available with three,
Euro 5 compliant petrol engines – the 1.0i 12v ecoFLEX, the
1.2i 16v VVT and a 1.4i 16v VVT – combining power and
fuel efficiency with low CO2emissions.
ecoFLEX turbo diesels. New Corsa’s Euro 5 diesel engine
range features a choice of two efficient 1.3CDTi 16v
units (75PS and 95PS) that combine performance,
refinement and efficiency, offering superb environmental
credentials. Both New Corsa diesel engines include diesel
particulate filters.
Transmissions. The 1.3CDTi 16v (95PS) SE and SXi come
with a six-speed manual gearbox. The rest of the range
comes with a five-speed manual as standard, with
sophisticated four-speed automatic (1.4i 16v) and five-
speed Easytronic (1.2i 16v) transmissions also available.
Easytronic. Choose New Corsa’s optional Easytronic
transmission and you’ll get a five-speed manual gearbox
with a fully automatic mode. In manual mode, you push
the lever forward or back to
shift gears up or down and
by nudging the lever to the
side you switch to fully
automatic mode. There’s
no clutch pedal so you can
drive it on an automatic-only
driving licence.
Shift-up indicator. Standard
on all models, a shift-up
indicator on the rev counter
alerts the driver to the
optimum time a gear change
is required, further enhancing
fuel efficiency.
Chassis. We could just tell you that the New Corsa chassis
has been designed to ensure pure driving pleasure without
ever compromising ride comfort. But wouldn’t it be better
to discover how much fun it is to drive by trying one for
yourself? Then you’ll really be able to appreciate the
benefits of a chassis that features optimised spring, damper
and anti-roll bar settings to combine serious ride comfort
with real agility. And an advanced Anti-lock Braking System
(ABS) that combines with other chassis safety features
such as optional Electronic Stability Programme-plus and
Cornering Brake Control to ensure stability and steering
behaviour in a range of emergency situations.
Choose the Limited Edition model and you will also enjoy a
lower ride height and sportier spring and damper settings,
plus progressive rate, variable ratio power steering.
Details of engine availability and standard features can be
found on the individual model pages starting on page 15.
