The Opel Corsa 2011

Opel Corsa

There's always something happening in the Opel Corsa: Everything changed under its skin in 2010 - its chassis, its steering system and engine line-up. As of January 2011, Opel's successful small car now gets a new wardrobe. A redesigned face lends it a sportier, expressive look, making it firmly recognizable as a member of the latest Opel design family.

A new Opel Corsa ecoFLEX, 1.3 CDTI developing 70 kW/ 95 hp also enters the range, with Start/Stop technology as standard. The three-door version requires only 3.5 liters diesel per 100 km and so emits just 94 g/km CO2.

To stay connected with the world, a new multimedia infotainment system with seven, 4x20 watt loudspeakers debuts in the Opel Corsa. Called "Touch & Connect," this versatile system features a five-inch color touch screen, full navigation coverage for 28 countries, Bluetooth, iPod and USB connections. It is universally connectible, simple to use and has every convenience for the 21st century built in, at a very competitive price.

Inside and out, new, contemporary colors and decors are offered. In addition to a modern charcoal hue, the interior can also be dressed with more expressive Tabasco Orange or Steel Blue decors. The new exterior color palette integrates a delicate off-white Guacamole, eye-catching Grasshopper green and daring Henna. In addition, the successful Color Line featuring special, sporty looking versions are enriched with a new optional "Linea" pack, featuring two large stripes stretching across the length of the body with matching colored 17-inch wheels and exterior mirror caps.

Interior The Opel Corsa 2011

All interior trim levels have been updated with new fabrics and/or decors. In addition, they have new dashboard molding sporting textured skin, expressive colors and great attention to detail and quality of execution. In addition to the classical charcoal interior, the Enjoy trim level adds a young fresh look with Steel Blue or is available in Tabasco Orange, which comes with TopTec treatment that protects the fabric. The lively, colored interiors are offset with contrasts in material applications such as pearl white on the console. The colors and instrument panel patterns created through a two-tone effect add harmony to the overall appearance of the interior.

The Cosmo has a new grey high gloss center stack bezel with a contrasting wing insert in the instrument panel, plus beautiful embossed seat fabric to give it a very elegant and upscale feel. The new Touch & Connect navigation system is easy and intuitive. Its five-inch touch screen display features both 2-D and 3-D (bird view) maps and SD navigation card. Another new feature is an option to choose the most ecological route, helping to save fuel and the environment. Points of interest can be downloaded by the user.

It also has an intelligent commuter function that uses TMC information to propose alternative routes in case of traffic problems, even when navigation is not active. This function is of special interest to commuters who know their routes but want to be informed automatically of traffic jams on their way.

Bluetooth connectivity allows for safe, hands-free telephoning - even displaying address books on the screen - and is iPhone compatible. It also allows audio streaming and displays music titles on screen. iPODs have full control and browsing capability with no special cables needed. USB sticks can also be used on the new system.
