Opel introduces updated Corsa ecoFlex with 98 g/km CO₂

Filed under: Diesel, MPG, Opel

Opel is about to launch a heavily revamped version of the B-segment Corsa, although observers probably won’t notice much difference on the outside. That actually isn’t such a bad thing, since the Corsa is a pretty handsome little car. Under the skin, the car gets new powertrains and revised suspension setups for improved handling and ride.

Under the hood, the Corsa offers diesels in 1.3-liter and 1.7-liter sizes with the latter rated at 130 hp. The smaller engine is available in three power levels with the most powerful 95 hp version powering the new ecoFlex model. The ecoFlex gets an EU combined rating of 63.6 mpg (U.S.) with CO₂ emissions of 98 g/km. That’s a 10 percent improvement over the previous Corsa ecoFlex with significantly better performance thanks to 27 percent more power. Even the 1.7-liter still hits the sub 120 g level with a 119 g/km and 52.3 mpg (U.S.).
