Official photos of the new Opel/Vauxhall Corsa seem to be out, only in its three-door guise. It’s going to be produced in the spanish factory in Figueruelas (Saragoza).

Technical details are still scarce for now: it’s based on the same platform of the Fiat Grande Punto, with similar dimensions. The exterior is inspired on the Astra GTC, at least in the three door version. Internally it’s going to have new side-screen airbags and a color navigator with a bigger screen.

The engine range will include three naturally aspirated gasoline engines (1.0, 1.2 and 1.4 liters) and three turbo-diesel engines (1.3 CDTi with 75 and 90 hp, and 1.7 CDTi with 100 hp). Later, the Astra will get a 1.6 liters gasoline engine, both naturally aspirated and turbo-charged (with 180 hp, the same as Meriva OPC). Manual gearbox with 5 or 6 gears, or an automatic Easytronic transmission.
