It\u2019s certainly more daring and distinctive than the outgoing car which, though smart enough, didn\u2019t exactly stand out from the supermini crowd. The new grille sits above a bumper that\u2019s smoother and neater than before.<\/p>\n<h4>More reviews <\/h4>\n<h5>Car group tests<\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li>Skoda Fabia vs Renault Clio vs Vauxhall Corsa-e: 2022 group test review<\/li>\n<li>40 years of Vauxhall Corsa: group test review<\/li>\n<h5>In-depth reviews<\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li>Vauxhall Corsa Electric review<\/li>\n<li>Vauxhall Corsa review<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h5>Road tests<\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li>New Vauxhall Corsa Electric 2023 facelift review<\/li>\n<li>New Vauxhall Corsa-e Anniversary Edition 2022 review<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h5>Used car tests<\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li>Used Vauxhall Corsa (Mk5, 2020 to date) review<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Other 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<p>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<p>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<p>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><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/media.autoexpress.co.uk\/image\/private\/s--IqOMh_yh--\/f_auto,t_content-image-full-mobile@1\/v1701178486\/autoexpress\/2023\/11\/Vauxhall%20Corsa%20facelift-11.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>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<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/media.autoexpress.co.uk\/image\/private\/s--2ndlamRb--\/v1683626472\/assets\/partners\/powered-by-motorway_150x70.png\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/pubads.g.doubleclick.net\/gampad\/ad?iu=\/359\/impcount.co.uk&amp;sz=1x1&amp;t=creative%3DAEXMotorwayWidgetApril2022&amp;c=%%CACHEBUSTER%%\" style=\"display:none\"\/><\/p>\n<p>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<p>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<p>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<p>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<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Model:<\/td>\n<td>Vauxhall Corsa GS 1.2 Turbo<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Price:<\/td>\n<td>\u00a322,905<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Powertrain:<\/td>\n<td>1.2-litre 3cyl petrol turbo<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Power\/torque:<\/td>\n<td>99bhp\/205Nm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Transmission:<\/td>\n<td>Six-speed manual, front-wheel drive<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>0-62mph:<\/td>\n<td>9.9 seconds<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Top speed:<\/td>\n<td>120mph<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Economy\/CO2:<\/td>\n<td>54.3mpg\/117g\/km<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Size (L\/W\/H):<\/td>\n<td>4,060\/1,765\/1,433mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>On sale:<\/td>\n<td>Now<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autoexpress.co.uk\/vauxhall\/corsa\/361634\/new-vauxhall-corsa-2023-facelift-review-popular-supermini-gets-sharp-new-look\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The big-selling Vauxhall Corsa has been updated to keep in fresh in the tough supermini sector 3.5 out of 5<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":246718,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 -
