Opel Corsa test drive: small class model
The sixth generation of the Opel Corsa will soon arrive in showrooms. The interest generated by the release of the best-selling model in the Opel line is fully justified. Not only because it is a new model, but also because it is the first model fully implemented after the German brand was taken over by the French dela PSA.
The effort of Opel engineers is absolutely outstanding, given the short time they have to prepare the new Corsa. For those who don't know, the development of the sixth-generation German model under GM's leadership reached an advanced stage at the time when PSA took over the Opel brand in 2017. Despite all the predictions, the decision made at the group level was to take it from scratch using the PSA group's CMP platform.
The new model is moderately increased in size, which is 28 mm longer than the previous one. However, the proportions have changed, and the roof line was lower by 48 mm. However, there is no problem with space in the back of the head. However, tall people will need more space. The trunk, in turn, increased to 309 liters. Despite the growth in size and a rich range of equipment, the new Opel Corsa is much lighter than before (-108 kg), and this is felt in dynamic terms.
