Vauxhall/Opel made us wait to see the new internal combustion-engined Corsa, but surprise surprise it looks almost identical to the electric version. This is no bad thing however, because it turns out that the new Corsa is a handsome car, no matter what"s hiding under the bonnet. Speaking of that area, there will be three different engine options available in the UK (four if you include the EV). The base model comes with a naturally aspirated, 75bhp 1.2-litre petrol engine that"s teamed with a 5spd manual gearbox, whereas the step above is also a 1.2, but this time features a turbocharger and a choice between a 6spd manual or 8spd auto box. And for those that still want to fill up at the black pump, there will be a 1.5-litre diesel with 100bhp and 184lb ft of torque. All models will only come in five door versions though.
