TIME TO CHANGE THE WAY YOU FEEL ABOUT VAUXHALL'S CORSA: 2024 IN-DEPTH REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Vauxhall Corsa receives a significant mid-cycle refresh, aiming to bolster its appeal in a competitive supermini market. The reviewer highlights the updated 'visor' front end and improved cabin technology, including a new 10-inch touchscreen, as key enhancements. While the Corsa's lightweight platform and improved handling are praised, particularly with the GS trim's sport button and suspension upgrades, the reviewer notes that the steering can feel light at lower speeds. Powertrain options are diverse, ranging from a 100 PS turbocharged 1.2L petrol engine (the volume seller) to a new full hybrid and electric variants. The 100 PS petrol engine is deemed a good balance of performance and economy, though the hybrid offers better efficiency. Criticisms include a lack of rear seat space, which is noted as a compromise inherited from the shared platform with electric variants, and a boot that is slightly smaller than some rivals. Despite these drawbacks, the Corsa is recognized as a more sophisticated and complete package than its predecessors, offering a mature driving experience and a wide range of options, though its increased price point is a notable consideration.
