Eye-catching: Opel Corsa YES Special Edition with Extra Features

• Colourful statement: Special edition with exclusive Koral Orange paint and orange accents in the interior from €24,340 (RRP incl. VAT in Germany)
• Stylish YES benefits: Carbon black roof, 16-inch BiColour alloy wheels, digital displays and steering wheel made of vegan leather
• Free choice: Battery-electric, hybrid or with efficient combustion engine
• Serial success: Opel Corsa Germany's best-selling small car for five years in a row

Germany's best-selling small car of the past five years is now becoming even more attractive: Opel is giving the Corsa YES special edition a new extraordinary paint job, which will make the bestseller an absolute eye-catcher, as well as equipping it with further extras as standard. Opel Corsa YES is now available in bright Koral Orange. In addition, the interior comes with colour-coordinated accents as well as other high-quality standard components from digital displays in every drive variant to the vegan leatherette steering wheel. Best of all, even with the extra features and the new metallic paintwork, the Corsa YES will not cost more than before. Opel customers can get into their own Corsa YES from prices starting at €24,340 (all prices RRP incl. VAT in Germany).

"Our Opel Corsa is a customer favourite. Topping its segment for five consecutive years speaks for itself. This success is not least due to the fact that we continuously refresh the allure of the Opel Corsa with new ideas. The best example of this is the new exclusive YES special edition with attractive extras and the eye-catching colour Koral Orange with matching exterior and interior design. With this, Corsa drivers can stand out from the crowd and make a statement," said Patrick Dinger, Head of Opel Germany.

With the exclusive Koral Orange metallic paint finish, the new Opel Corsa YES turns heads from afar. The stylish appearance is underlined by the carbon-black roof and 16-inch alloy wheels in black and silver BiColour Diamond design. Elsewhere, the interior with the black ‘Banda’ seat cover in premium leather look creates a pleasant ambience. With orange stitching and stripes, it also continues the colour theme of the body. The same applies to other orange accents that run through the doors and instrument panel, as well as the black headliner.

The steering wheel, which is flattened at the bottom and is covered with vegan artificial leather as standard in the YES special edition, also stands for comfort with sustainability. The multimedia infotainment system with a 10-inch touchscreen and 7-inch driving information display offers the best entertainment and connectivity. Unlike in other variants, the displays of the Opel Corsa YES are now fully digital at all times – regardless of whether customers opt for a petrol, hybrid or all-electric and thus locally emissions-free drivetrain.

Those who want to upgrade their Opel Corsa YES even further, can opt for the comfort pack with electric parking brake (standard on Opel Corsa Electric YES), middle armrest with storage compartment and two remote control keys for €150. Elsewhere, the new YES tech package with features such as the 130-degree reversing camera, the parking pilot for the front and rear, electrically adjustable and heated exterior mirrors, the keyless start system ‘Keyless Start’ and much more ensures even more relaxed driving pleasure from €700. And for all those who prefer a slightly more discreet approach, the Corsa YES is also available in Eucalyptus Green – again with matching stitching, stripes and accents in the door and instrument panel – for an additional €700.

Opel: Strong growth in Italy in July

• Opel Corsa posts record sales results
• With 125 years of automobile production, every Opel model has at least one battery-electric engine

Excellent sales results for Opel in July in Italy with a 32% growth in registrations of cars and commercial vehicles compared to the previous year reaching a total share of 3.3%, corresponding to a growth of 0.7 percentage points.

The result is driven in particular by car sales, which saw registrations grow by 43% and share by 0.9 percentage points.

Great performance by the best-selling Opel Corsa which achieved record results: +140% in registrations, a doubled segment share (11.6%) and tripled contractual collection from private individuals.

This great appreciation from Italian customers allows Opel Corsa to be the third best-selling car in its segment and the fifth overall in Italy; furthermore, Opel Corsa is the best-selling German car in Italy.

The new Opel Corsa captivates with its refreshed design, which includes the characteristic Opel Vizor at the front and the Corsa lettering confidently positioned in the center of the rear. State-of-the-art technologies make driving more relaxed. The new Opel Corsa offers a fully digital cockpit based on the Snapdragon Cockpit Platforms from Qualcomm Technologies 1, with a new, intuitive infotainment system and a color touchscreen of up to 10 inches. The IntelliLux LED Matrix light, which Opel Corsa introduced to the small car segment in 2019, has also been further enhanced and made more precise with 14 LED elements. The latest interpretation of the small bestseller also boasts advanced technologies under the hood. The Opel Corsa Electric now comes with more power and an improved battery that enables a range of 402 kilometers when driving in accordance with the WLTP cycle 2. Other engines are also genuine innovations. 

The Opel Corsa is the first model of the brand also available as a hybrid version with a 48 V system that does not require charging at a charging station or wallbox. The new Opel Corsa therefore offers customers a wide choice in terms of engines: from purely electric to hybrid, up to the highly efficient combustion engine, a broad range suitable for all needs.

“At Opel we contribute to the democratization of technologies by offering equipment on very popular cars like our Opel Corsa that were previously only available on premium and higher segment cars. This approach, which is part of Opel’s culture, has proven to be highly appreciated by Italian customers who are rewarding us,” says Federico Scopelliti, Director of the Opel Brand in Italy.

Opel is enthusiastically celebrating its first 125 years of automobile production and is offering at least one battery-electric model in every model range, including the new Opel Frontera, a spacious and family-friendly SUV with up to seven seats, and the second-generation Opel Grandland, which marks a new era in the German manufacturer’s design, with the new Vizor front end gaining a depth dimension and an illuminated Opel logo.

The values ​​recorded in everyday use may differ and depend on numerous factors, including: personal driving style, route characteristics, outside temperature, heating/air conditioning and any preconditioning.

Electrification for All: New Opel Corsa Hybrid From €26,100

• Electrified, smart, comfortable: Opel Corsa with 48-volt hybrid drive for the first time
• Hybrid advantage: CO2 emissions and consumption down, purely electric at low speeds
• Well-equipped: Numerous state-of-art technologies plus hybrid-specific displays
• Stylish small car bestseller: With Opel Vizor brand face and new cockpit design

Opel Corsa has been shining in new splendour for a few months now – more modern, digital and diverse than ever with characteristic Opel Vizor brand face and two electric drives. Opel is now expanding drive range for small car bestseller. Opel Corsa is now available for first time as a hybrid with 48-volt technology. New Opel Corsa Hybrid comes with extensive equipment with prices starting at €26,100 (all prices RRP including VAT in Germany).

System features a lithium-ion battery that is recharged automatically under certain driving conditions and new turbocharged 1.2-litre three-cylinder petrol engines with 74 kW/100 hp and 100 kW/136 hp that have been developed especially for hybrid application. Engines are coupled to a new electrified six-speed dual clutch transmission and a 21 kW/28 hp electric motor.

Hybrid technology offers a wide range of advantages, especially for “electrification novices” who usually travel in urban environments: Compared to its purely conventional counterpart, fuel consumption and CO2 emissions are reduced by around 18 percent, and Corsa Hybrid customers can drive locally emissions-free at low speeds in the city and enjoy a high level of driving comfort thanks to the optimal coordination of the system. Thanks to the compact design of the hybrid system, no space is lost in the interior – and drivers do not have to recharge their Corsa Hybrid from an external source such as a socket or charging station.

“New Opel Corsa Hybrid enables everyday, economical driving pleasure with a sense of responsibility – simple, efficient and electrified,” said Patrick Dinger, Head of Opel in Germany. “With introduction of 48-volt hybrid technology, Opel offers a practical, easy, fuel-saving alternative to purely conventionally powered models without customers having to get used to it. New Opel Corsa Hybrid, which can be ordered now, complements broad drive portfolio and is another important component in our electrification strategy.”

Efficient, compact, user-friendly: Hybrid system in Opel Corsa

Opel Corsa Hybrid drivers can enjoy particularly efficient and user-friendly driving pleasure. Compared with the similar non-electrified Corsa 1.2 with eight-speed automatic transmission (fuel consumption in the WLTP 1 cycle: 5.5-5.4 l/100 km; 124-121 g/km CO2, both combined), 4 kW/100 hp new Opel Corsa Hybrid with the 48V technology (WLTP1 fuel consumption: 4.8-4.5 l/100 km; 108-101 g/km CO2, both combined) can save nearly 1.0 l/100 km of fuel (around 18 per cent) and also reduce CO2 emissions. Same applies to Opel Corsa Hybrid GS with 100 kW/136 hp, which is available from €30,190. Here too, fuel consumption and CO2 emissions are reduced by around 18 percent to 4.7-4.6 l/100 km or 106-103 g/km CO2 compared to the non-electrified petrol counterpart (according to WLTP 1).

System offers advantages above all in city traffic. Electric motor assists the petrol engine especially under acceleration, e.g. when launching from a standstill. It also contributes torque, especially at low engine speeds, which benefits driving dynamics and CO2 reduction. At low speeds, the electric motor also enables fully electric driving for up to one kilometre or up to 50 per cent of the time driven in the city (thanks to recuperation) – for example when manoeuvring. During deceleration, the petrol engine stops and the e‑motor acts as a generator to recharge the hybrid system's 48V battery. Compact and space-saving system is optimally coordinated to ensure the best performance at all times with the lowest energy consumption. Depending on their driving preferences, Opel Corsa Hybrid drivers can also choose between the three modes Eco, Normal and Sport.

Information at a glance: Fully digital cockpit with hybrid-specific displays

In the interior of Opel Corsa Hybrid, occupants can enjoy optional fully digital driver information display (standard on Opel Corsa GS). As usual, it displays all important information clearly – with additional helpful hybrid-specific information. Numbers on digital speed display shine white while the petrol engine is running. If this switches off and vehicle is operated purely electrically, display changes to blue. There is also a permanent power display (divided into Power, Eco and Charge) as well as a display that provides information about energy flow between battery, petrol engine and wheels as well as battery charge status. And most important data on distance traveled, journey time, average consumption, remaining range and percentage of route driven purely electrically can be read via the trip summary display when vehicle is switched off.

Opel Corsa Hybrid occupants are well connected with new Opel Corsa multimedia infotainment system including a 10-inch colour touchscreen. They are based on integrated Snapdragon® Cockpit and Auto Connectivity Platforms from Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. 2 and enable, among other things, state-of-art graphics, multimedia and connectivity capabilities such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and 4G. In addition, smartphones compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto can be wirelessly connected to vehicle's multimedia systems and also recharged.

Leading technologies for outstanding comfort and safety

Every new Opel Corsa Hybrid has numerous technologies and assistance systems on board as standard, such as Forward Collision Alert with Automatic Emergency Braking and Pedestrian Detection, Adaptive Cruise Control as well as Active Lane Positioning, Extended Traffic Sign Recognition and Drowsiness Detection. There are also other optional electronic helpers that make driving and manoeuvring more relaxed. A highlight is glare-free IntelliLux LED Matrix light, which now has 14 LED elements and makes driving in dark even safer. Range also extends to Side Blind Sport Alert and new, high-resolution Panorama Rear View Camera.

New Opel Corsa Hybrid with a new, highly efficient 48-volt hybrid drive, additional top technologies and a clear, bold design including Opel Vizor will be arriving at dealers soon.
