The model

Read full review

The Vauxhall Corsa is a competent small car, but isn’t outstanding in any area. It isn’t as comfortable or as nice inside as the closely related Peugeot 208, not as fun to drive as a Ford Fiesta, nor as spacious as a Volkswagen Polo. It is at least well equipped and not too expensive, if you stick to our recommended trim.

The trim

See full equipment

Good value, featuring a 7.0in infotainment screen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, steering wheel stereo controls, cruise control, electric windows and mirrors, LED headlights, air-conditioning, lane-keeping assistance, a driver attention monitoring system and 16in alloy wheels. We'd recommend SE Premium for some extra luxuries at not a vast increase in cost.

The engine

See full engine specs

This naturally aspirated 74bhp 1.2-litre petrol engine sits at the bottom of the Corsa’s lineup. We have yet to try it, but the on-paper figures suggest it’ll be fairly sluggish. It comes with a five-speed manual gearbox.
