Used Vauxhall Corsa (Mk5, 2020 to date) review<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nOther exterior changes are limited to details, though. The alloy wheel designs are new, the roof gets a neat shark fin antenna in place of the previous wire item, and the boot lid now displays the \u2018CORSA\u2019 branding across a wider section of the panel. A new colour, called Graphic Grey, has also been added to the car\u2019s exterior palette.<\/p>\n
Seat upholstery aside, the interior hasn\u2019t changed radically, but it does benefit from a boost in tech. An all-new infotainment system brings much-improved graphics and speed, plus wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, while a digital instrument panel now is standard on every model.<\/p>\n
As before, there will be a choice of internal combustion and fully electric Corsas. A new EV variant gets a bump in battery capacity, efficiency, performance and range, and will sit above the existing electric powertrain in the line-up.<\/p>\n
There are no changes mechanically for ICE models \u2013 at least not yet. In 2024, the petrol engine line-up will be boosted by the introduction of 48-volt hybrid tech. A 28bhp electric motor will take the strain off the 1.2-litre turbocharged units, which will offer up either 99bhp or 134bhp.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
As it stands, the Corsa drives much the same as before. In other words, it doesn\u2019t do anything brilliantly, but nor is it poor in any particular area. The suspension set-up is towards the firmer end of the class \u2013 the occasional high-frequency bounce can be felt at motorway speeds \u2013 but shocks are well isolated from the cabin. The car is reasonably agile through the turns, but the steering has a vagueness that curbs the fun.<\/p>\n

While the range is topped with a 128bhp petrol model for now, this 99bhp unit is our choice. Responsive and torquey \u2013 the 205Nm peak arrives at just 1,750rpm \u2013 it delivers decent punch without needing a downshift through the rubbery manual gearbox.<\/p>\n
Prices for the updated Corsa range start from \u00a319,625. That\u2019s for a 74bhp petrol-engined model in Design trim, which is the entry point for a considerably simplified three-tier line-up. Among the standard equipment are 16-inch alloy wheels, rear parking sensors, LED headlights and driver-assistance tech including lane-departure warning and traffic-sign recognition.<\/p>\n
The mid-range GS model comes with all the kit you\u2019ll really need, adding 17-inch wheels, front and rear parking sensors, built-in navigation and a reversing camera. Meanwhile, the top-spec Ultimate trim adds adaptive LED lights, heated steering wheel and front seats (with a massage function on the driver\u2019s side), adaptive cruise control and Alcantara upholstery.<\/p>\n
Vauxhall is being aggressive with its finance deals, too. Go for a two-year PCP agreement, and zero per cent APR is available, which translates into monthly payments as low as \u00a3145 \u2013 although you\u2019ll need to stump up almost \u00a36,500 as a deposit to benefit from this.<\/p>\n
