New Opel Corsa 120 Years Edition 2019 Review Interior Exterior.
In 2019, Opel celebrates 120 years of automotive engineering - and thus 120 years of innovation for everyone. With the brand with the lightning it has a tradition to bring technical achievements cleverly on the right track and fast in series. This makes mobility affordable for the masses - and makes the product range safer, cleaner, more convenient, more practical or even far-sighted. This is the basis of the 120th Anniversary Campaign "Opel. Born in Germany. Built for all of us. "At the time, the first model, the Opel patent motor car "System Lutzmann" from 1899, had just as much in mind as all the Opel vehicles that followed over the decades, from the "doctor's car" to the "tree frog" and P4 to the cadet. And today the motto fits hardly better than the Opel Corsa .
Depending on the version, Opel's Small is the perfect companion for singles and couples as well as for the whole family. It is no coincidence that more than 13.5 million units have been produced by all five generations since 1982. "The Corsa was and is one of our most important models in Europe," explains Opel Sales and Marketing Director Xavier Duchemin. Consequently, the endurance runner plays a major role in the jubilee year. "Opel has been democratizing mobility for 120 years. We make pioneering technologies and comfort features affordable for all shoppers in our cars. That's what we stand for and stands for the best example of the Corsa! Thanks to our jubilee model series, everyone will find their favorite - well-equipped and at top conditions, "adds Duchemin.
The standard equipment range of the Corsa special model located above the "Edition" variant includes, for example, assistance systems such as parking pilot at the rear or cruise control. Features such as heated seats, heated leather steering wheel and velor carpets increase comfort. A true eye-catcher is the "120 years" model with attractive alloy wheels, stylish chrome elements and door entry strips with OPEL lettering plus a "120 years" emblem. All at attractive prices: So the Opel Corsa "120 Years" starts already from 15,440 euros (Corsa 1.2 with 51 kW / 70 hp and five-speed manual transmission: fuel consumption according to NEDC 1 : urban 7.4-7-3 l / 100 km , off-site 5.0-4.9 l / 100 km, combined 5.9-5.8 l / 100 km, 134-132 g / km CO 2; Fuel consumption according to WLTP 2 : combined 7.1-6.6 l / 100 km, 162-149 g / km CO 2 ) - including further equipment packages, this results in a customer price advantage of up to 2,540 euros3 .
The Opel Corsa in general and the Corsa "120 years" in particular show that it belongs to the Opel brand core to offer customers more and more than they expect in the respective vehicle class. At the end of the 19th century, the foundation was laid by the Opel patent motor car "System Lutzmann". Already in this short price list are two innovative extras: On the one hand, the pneumatic tires, which had been invented in 1845 by Robert William Thomson, but until then had found no widespread use in the automotive industry. On the other hand, there is a detachable child seat on request for the small two-seater coach, whose 4 hp single cylinder with buzzer ignition and speed-dependent surface carburettor ensures a speed of 30 km / h. Already this example makes it clear
In 1982, Opel succeeds again with a small car a big hit: The Corsa A complements the range below the cadet, which had now outgrown the compact class. Just 3.62 meters in length, the then record drag coefficient of c w= 0.36 and wheel arches in the style of a rally car are the hallmarks of the new creation of chief designer Erhard Schnell, who was also responsible for the legendary Opel GT. In fact, the Corsa demonstrated - initially as a two-door with sloping and notchback, from 1985 as a five-door - how virtuoso the Rüsselsheimer can create a lot of space on a small area and how to combine pronounced economy and maximum driving pleasure - highlight is the GSi with 100 hp. The Corsa A, originally designed for beginners and sharp computers, is turning into a top seller, with a total of 3.1 million units sold by 1993.
To this day, Opel is firmly in the middle of society and offers cross-class components, which are otherwise reserved for expensive premium vehicles. A prime example of this democratization of individual mobility is the Corsa up to the current fifth generation. Also thanks to the special model "120 Years", which already comes standard with a host of state-of-the-art technologies as well as design and comfort features on attractive terms, the Corsa has 14 million approvals in Europe. In just a few months, the next generation of the practical, stylish and dynamic small car will be launched - for the first time a purely electric version. Thus, the Corsa 2019 continues the Opel story of 120 years of automobile construction and mobility for millions with a memorable and groundbreaking chapter.
