Opel Unveils 2024 Corsa Facelift: the hatchback gets mild-hybrid engines, a new dual-clutch auto, and more electric power

This mid-cycle update brings a range of enhancements to both the internal combustion engine (ICE) and electric vehicle (EV) models, solidifying the Corsa's position as a versatile and stylish supermini.

One of the standout features of the facelifted Corsa is the introduction of the striking "Vizor" front grille, previously seen on larger Opel models. This bold design element creates a powerful visual impact and gives the Corsa a distinct and modern identity. Complementing the grille are redesigned matrix headlights, now equipped with 14 individually controllable LED elements. These advanced headlights not only enhance visibility but also provide a glare-free experience for oncoming drivers, ensuring safety on the road.

At the rear, the Corsa proudly displays its name with prominent "Corsa" lettering, a feature carried over from the Corsa 40 limited edition. Available in black or matte satin silver, the badges add a touch of sophistication to the overall exterior design. Additionally, Opel offers a new Grafik Grey paint option, which can be paired with a black roof for a striking two-tone look.

Inside the Corsa, drivers will find familiar comfort and convenience. While the interior largely remains unchanged, there are notable upgrades such as the optional 10-inch infotainment system powered by a Snapdragon processor. This advanced system allows seamless integration with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, while also offering wireless charging for smartphones.

Under the hood, Opel introduces 1.2-liter mild-hybrid engines, available in two power outputs: 100 and 136 horsepower. These engines are paired with a newly developed dual-clutch automatic transmission, delivering a smooth and efficient driving experience. Existing 98- and 128-hp turbo and 1.2-liter 74 hp naturally aspirated engine options will continue to be offered.

The Corsa facelift also brings an improved Corsa Electric model to the lineup. The updated electric variant offers a compelling package with enhanced performance and range. The base model boasts 136 horsepower and an impressive WLTP range of 357 kilometers (222 miles). For those seeking more power and an extended range, Opel offers a beefier version with 156 horsepower, 260 Newton-meters (192 pound-feet) of torque, and a WLTP range of 402 kilometers (250 miles).

Customers can expect the first deliveries of the 2024 Opel Corsa facelift in the fourth quarter of 2023.
