Inovev forecasts 300,000 new Opel Corsa per year
- The PSA group has unveiled the new generation of the Opel Corsa (B-segment sedan), which is now based on the Peugeot 208's CMP platform, and no longer on the old Fiat Punto platform. This new model competes with the Peugeot 208 and Citroën C3 of the PSA group, but also with the Renault Clio, Ford Fiesta, Volkswagen Polo, Audi A1, Seat Ibiza, Skoda Fabia, Toyota Yaris, Nissan Micra, Hyundai i20 and Kia Rio. The Fiat-Chrysler group's competing models have all disappeared since production of the Fiat Punto and Alfa-Romeo Mito ceased in the second half of last year.
- This sixth generation of the Opel Corsa will be the first to benefit from a 100% electric engine (which should constitute 15% of the model's sales, as for the Peugeot 208), in addition to the combustion engines used in the equivalent models at Peugeot and Citroën: a 3 cylinder 1.2 petrol (75hp, 100hp or 130hp) and a 4 cylinder 1.5 diesel (100hp).
- All versions of the new Opel Corsa (except the 3-door versions which are being cancelled ) will be produced at the Spanish site in Zaragoza (while they were previously produced at two different sites: Zaragoza and Eisenach). This decision will lead to the transfer of the Opel Mokka to the French site in Poissy as early as 2020, i.e. when the new generation of the Opel Mokka is launched (today 50% of the Mokka are manufactured in Zaragoza and 50% at the GM site in Korea).
- Inovev expects 300,000 units per year of the new Opel Corsa.
