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

With 101bhp, it is very slightly stronger than the 1.2 100 petrol, and this is most noticeable from low revs. It provides more flexible in-gear performance for overtaking, but doesn't have the same ultimate pace and isn't as quick away from the traffic lights. It is roughly similar on pace to the Polo and Ibiza’s 1.6 TDI 95, and officially it will average over 70mpg.
