What powers the new Opel Corsa 2020?

This year marks the 120th anniversary of the German brand, which is why it wanted to launch a special model. The new Opel Corsa offers a range of 330 kilometres according to the WLTP standard, seats five and has a 50 kWh battery that can be recharged to 80% of its capacity in 30 minutes. The battery also comes with an 8-year warranty.

The Opel Corsa 2020 136 CV and a maximum torque of 260 Nm. It can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 8.1 seconds. The new electric model of Opel keeps the same dimensions and measures 4.06 metres in length. Now, the roofline is coupé-like and 48 mm lower than its predecessors. This results in a much lower centre of gravity.

New Opel Corsa, a commitment to technology

Opel has committed to technology, and the new model will feature the new IntelliLux LED matrix adaptive lighting system, as well as driver assistance systems such as Traffic Sign Recognition, Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Assist and Blind Spot Assist.

The electric Opel will also feature the new infotainment systems through the Navi multimedia system with a 7-inch touchscreen.
