Opel is celebrating a major milestone. The 1,000,000th unit of the current generation Corsa F, first launched in 2019, has rolled off the production line at the Zaragoza plant in Spain. Available in petrol, hybrid and all-electric, the Corsa is a firm favourite, loved by private retail and business customers alike, and as such, demand has continued to go from strength to strength.
In the first quarter of 2025, new Corsa registrations in Europe (E29), rose by +18% compared to the previous quarter. Since the launch of the very first Corsa over 4 decades ago, in 1982, almost 15 million units have been sold worldwide. The Corsa has been Germany’s bestselling small car for the past four years and was also the top-selling car in its segment in the UK for three years in a row (2021 to 2023).
The Corsa impresses with its characteristic striking design, including the Opel Vizor front face, and sporty nature. Compact, yet with space for up to five people, it offers affordable top technologies such as the adaptive, glare-free Intelli-Lux Matrix light, making journeys relaxing and safe.
Customers have a wide selection of drive options, ranging from battery-electric variants to modern hybrids with 48-volt technology and efficient combustion engines. The Corsa Electric, which is coming to Ireland soon, now boasts a 51kWh battery with an output of 115kW (156hp), returning a range of up to 429km (WLTP) on a full charge, an increase of almost 6% or up to 24km more than before.
Available in Ireland this July for the new 252-registration plate, a choice of three versions is offered – SC, Elegance and GS. Retailing from €25,095 or €210 per month through Opel Ireland 2.52% APR low-cost finance offer, customers will also avail of Opel’s 252 €1,000 Trade Up booster.
