The current-generation Vauxhall Corsa, launched in 2019 and facelifted in 2023, is a supermini built on Stellantis’s CMP platform, shared with the mechanically identical Opel Corsa sold across the rest of Europe. It measures 4,060 mm long on a 2,538 mm wheelbase, and sits alongside a separately specified full-electric Corsa Electric that uses the same body.
Petrol power starts with a 1.2-litre turbo producing 100 hp and 205 Nm, driving a 6-speed manual to 60 mph in 9.9 seconds. The range tops out with the Hybrid 136, a 48V mild-hybrid pairing the same 1.2-litre engine with a 21 kW electric motor for a combined 136 hp, cutting the 0-62 mph time to 8.6 seconds through a 6-speed automatic gearbox, making it the quickest petrol-powered Corsa on sale.
Trim levels run from entry-level Design through GS to range-topping Ultimate, with all versions getting LED headlights, 16-inch alloy wheels and touchscreen infotainment with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard. Vauxhall’s own Luton assembly plant, which had built Corsas for decades, closed in March 2025, with UK-market cars now sourced from other Stellantis plants in Europe.
UK prices start from £19,725 for the entry petrol and £22,075 for the Hybrid 136, positioning the Corsa in the value end of a supermini segment where Stellantis also sells closely related Peugeot, Citroën and DS models.
