Why blend in when you can stand out?
Corsa Limited Edition – you don’t look this sharp by chance. You need Corsa’s natural
style and a whole lot of attitude. Colour it all red, white, orange, black or yellow. Add black
mirrors, roof and dark style headlights. Match it with black 17-inch twin-spoke alloy wheels
and you can see the results for yourself.

Corsa. Fun and frugality in equal measure
Corsa’s range of ecoFLEX engines have been designed to save you money. So how
do we do it without losing Corsa’s fun, lively power delivery and driveability? Well,
the benefi t of improved fuel economy speaks for itself but lower CO2emissions mean
you’ll also benefi t from signifi cant tax savings.
Of course, we are always looking to further reduce vehicle CO2emissions and we
already have some of the lowest emissions in Ireland. We’ve been researching ways
of developing new cars that are even more effi cient than ever before. The new
Opel Ampera is an Extended-Range Electric Vehicle (E-REV) that can drive up to
80 kilometres on battery power alone and over 500 kilometres utilising an on-board
electric generator system.
So there it is. You get all of Corsa’s sense of fun and our philosophy of forward
thinking – helping your money go further.
Corsa SE model illustrated features 17-inch alloy wheels, Adaptive Forward Lighting, dark-tinted rear windows and Guacamole paint which are all optional at extra cost.

The Corsa’s engine range is big on flexibility, economy and technology too.
Choose from our lively multi-valve petrol or our turbo diesel units and you can
be sure of great driveability and outstanding fuel economy. And if that isn’t
enough choice you could opt for Easytronic, automatic transmission or Opel’s
Start/Stop technology. Check out the model pages for individual availability.
Decisions, decisions?
Petrol engines. 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. 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 Corsa diesel engines include diesel particulate filters.
Start/Stop technology. In addition, some of our engines benefit from
Start/Stop technology. This system switches the engine off when you stop
at the lights or in traffic, then restarts it automatically once the clutch is
depressed, saving fuel and reducing emissions even further. The AUTOSTOP
symbol housed within the rev counter indicates that the engine has stopped.
The system can be deactivated manually by simply pressing the ECO button
on the facia. Start/Stop drops the CO2emissions of the 1.2i 16v VVT from 129
to 119g/km, placing the vehicle inside tax band A (except if optional 17-inch
alloy wheels are added).
Easytronic. Choose 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.
Transmissions. The 1.3CDTi 16v (95PS) SE comes 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.
Shift-up indicator. Standard on every Corsa model, 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 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
cornering brake control and optional Electronic Stability Programme-plus to
improve 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 17.

Safety and security
Intelligent safety. Our safety
features are almost taken for
granted nowadays, but it doesn’t
mean we’ve stopped adding new
ones. Double front seatbelt
pretensioners and adaptive brake
lights are just two examples of
how Corsa achieves such a high
safety rating.
Static cornering light. Halogen
Adaptive Forward Lighting throws
light 90 degrees left or right for
enhanced lateral vision. The system
operates up to 40 kilometres per
hour, also while reversing.
Double pretensioners. Front seatbelt
pretensioners act on the diagonal
shoulder restraint on all models.
And on most models the lap belt
too. So in the event of a collision,
they’re ready to interact with the
front airbags and compensate for
lateral seat movement.
Daytime Running Lights. As well as
providing a striking style accent on
the Corsa the Daytime Running
Lights improve your visibility to other
road users whatever the conditions.
Dynamic curve light. Halogen
Adaptive Forward Lighting moves
the headlight beams outwards up
to 15 degrees left or right of the
straight ahead position when you
turn the steering wheel, helping
improve your vision of the
approaching bend.
Airbags. Most Corsa models feature double-action front seatbelt
pretensioners and up to six airbags, including front seat side-impact
and curtain airbags too. Press a button on the centre console to
deactivate the front passenger’s airbag and you can keep a rear-facing
child seat up front.
Security. Every Corsa features an
engine deadlock immobiliser as
standard as well as remote control
central locking. There’s also an
internal door locking switch for
added reassurance in the event
of unwanted attention from
outside the car.
Adaptive brake lights. ABS brakes
can shorten your stopping distance
in slippery road conditions, but
what about the driver behind you?
With Corsa, if the ABS is activated
at over 29 kilometres per hour, your
brake lights blink at five times a
second, warning the following driver
that you’re emergency braking.
Adaptive Forward Lighting (AFL). Night driving has always had the
potential to generate stress. Corsa’s advanced halogen AFL system
projects the headlight beams into curves and provides extra side
illumination when making extreme turns. The result: less stress, more
safety. Optional on SE models.

Easy life. Corsa is available with some pretty brilliant features so you never
have to compromise on what you really want. Like Electronic Climate Control.
Heated steering wheel. Or simply added peace of mind. So it’s easy to choose
a new Corsa that fits the way you live perfectly.
Sunroof with interior blind. Optional
at extra cost on SC and SE models, the
electrically operated glass sunroof
stretches wide across the car for
maximum fresh air and blue sky. And if
the sun’s too strong, you simply pull
out the roller blind to reduce glare.
Rain and light sensors. Standard on
SE models, automatic lighting control
can switch the car’s lights on when it
gets dark. Other sensors can switch
the wipers on and even dim the rear-
view mirror – all automatically.
Winter Pack. Standard on SE and
optional on SC and Limited Edition
models, the Winter Pack provides both
driver and front passenger with heated
seats, while the heated steering wheel
is a first-in-class feature.
Air con and ECC. Air conditioning
provides chilled air on hot days, faster
demisting on damp days and a more
pleasant atmosphere throughout the
year. Move up to Electronic Climate
Control (ECC) for a more consistent
control of the interior temperature.
Cruise control. The easy-to-use, twist
up/twist down cruise control – standard
on many models and available as part
of the Technical Pack on SC – allows
you to maintain a steady speed without
keeping your foot on the accelerator. So
it’s more comfortable on long journeys
and easier to keep to speed limits too.
Driving position. You’re going to be
spending some quality time in your
Corsa. So we’ve made it easy for you
to make sure it’s exactly how you
want it. The Corsa interior is big on
ergonomic efficiency. Which means
it’s designed around real people, with
space to relax and plenty of room for
long legs and broad shoulders – front
and rear. All the controls are within
easy reach so you don’t have to take
your eyes off the road for more than a
moment to adjust the heating or the
audio, for example.
Best of all, it’s easy to find the perfect
seating position with a driver’s seat
that moves six ways – including
height adjustment – on most models.
On SC models and above (optional
on S as part of the Comfort Pack),
you’ll find fully adjustable steering
too, bringing us right back to what
we said earlier about real people and
perfect ergonomics. Electrically operated glass sunroof optional
at extra cost on SC and SE models.

Corsa. You choose.
So here’s the question. Do you get what you want? Or make
do with what you get? We suspect the former. So it’s just
as well that Corsa comes with an excellent choice of
feature-packed models, petrol and diesel engines, and
drop-dead gorgeous colour and trim choices.
