08:47 It looks like a lightweight hood... Strange to see the exhaust is allready black inside. I've seen other reviews also where they are more black... I've a 2019 mazda 3 with 9500 km's on it and the exhaust are still clean as they where when the car was new. Totally clean. By the way, good review AJ. Thumbs up. I still remember your review of my last car, an ibiza 6f. One of the reasons to buy it was your review of that car. Keep up the good work.
Looks good. No fake exhaust tips and they integrated the touchscreen into the dash instead of bolting on a tablet as an afterthought. Other manufacturers take note.
Great Review, Aditya and Team - many thanks for all the info. Quite like the neat styling. Not sure about the gloomy interior. Or the firm ride. Keep up the good work! Best wishes.
Great work, we miss you A.J. When it's comes to every day cars you are doing an amazing job, focusing on the points that really matter! Compared to the Ibiza, how is Ride quality, noise insulation, interior quality, fuel consumption.
Thanks a lot Vagg D. The Ibiza is also a great option. I would say that if you don't get the FR, it's a bit more plush than the corsa. Also, you get a bit more space in the back and in the boot in the ibiza, but the corsa is a bit lighter. The infotainment system is also a bit better in the ibiza. But there are a lot of cool new features on the corsa like the massage seat. The corsa might be a tad bit quieter inside. The interior quality is similar but perhaps the ibiza is a tiny bit better. In the end, choosing between the two according to me would come down to price and your preference for the design.
@@AdityaJayaram Thank you very much for taking the time for such a detailed and informative answer, i am sure you a lot o people are comparing those two cars and you helped us. I hope we see more reviews from you!
the most beautiful corsa in last years... these more "straight" lines and shape looks really good. Not like D or E which were like an egg. Nice review!
You should try an easytronic in corsa d then you would praise this EAT8! I drove it myself and this automatic is the best on a corsa ever. Also you won't see the huge problems the vw golf or polo has with the 7 gears dry dsg transmission!
there are a lot more VW‘s sold, so it would just make sense if you would hear that theyr transmission „sucks“, my guess would be that only a „few“ got the problems, but due to a lot of hate it gets spread more easily than something positive..
@@HIIMUsc the problem is that their dsg was not well designed. They know their failure but they will never pay for it. In the end when something is wrong you have to pay for a complete new transmission and then the clutch or mechatronic will again start to wear and break maybe after 50000km. This is a joke and not german quality at all. The wet 6gears dsg does not have such issues so the dry one is a failure! I wouldnt have a problem if it breaks but then they should always pay for their mistakes during design. Anyway the eat8 seems to be really good from psa.
@@testus86 alright, nice to know, it's really sad in generall that the German brands are going down hill with the Quality, i work at Merc and i gotta tell you, the V-Class is way overpriced imo, the dashboard does a lot of crackling noises when touched gently (climate control area) it's just laughable...
@@Mgoblagulkablong regardless the yaris is still selling well. Manufacturers just want to save on cost of hybrid development. Toyota already invested in the system many years ago
23 years back GM set up shop in India and introduced the Opel brand, soon the brand gained recognition for its German class. But later GM lack of strategy saw it pulling the plug on the brand and replacing it with badge engineered Chevrolet's, but finally things didn't work too well for GM and it left the country on a sad note.. Now PSA about to venture here, they should try marketing Opel cars alongside the mainstream Citroen brand cars which they have pitched for the country.
Nice looking car. I would love to see PSA group bring an affordable car to the USA. This segment is being abandoned by USA auto makers and others. As cars get more complex, less reliable, if I get another car it will probably be a new probably leased car, or no car at all. I think there should be an opportunity to sell an affordable car to younger, older, and any financially challenged car shopper. If I ever purchase another car, I will not be shopping at any dealer that doesn't offer cars. I have no need for an SUV or CUV and their large heavy wheels and tires.
I'm not financially challenged but that's the kind of car I like to buy ;). I'm working at home half of the time and I'm not driving a lot anyway. I don't find any reason to spend more on a car :)
By my estimate (measured the slightly tilted cam view from the screen), the actual usd surface of the navigation screen is about 25% of the total "black" area of the 10 inch screen. Now there is a large edge not used at all as a display and then there's a large part left and right used for temperature settings. But if I'm going to pay for a 10" screen, I don't want a tiny area that's maybe 6" used as a info screen. Big fail, Opel.
The luggage space, the trunk, is not bigger than the old Corsa, instead smaller... Corsa-e has 267 liters - even though the space is identical... The explanation is that Peugeot counts the space for the spare wheel as a part of the trunk and thus it sounds like it is bigger, it's a trick. Old Corsa 285 liters with double cargo floor, adjustable rear backrest and storage space for the parcel shelf behind the backrests. No doubt that old corsa is the better one regarding the trunk, despite a narrower opening.
Can you explain the role of the germans engineers for the new opel ? What do they do ? How do they work with psa ? It would be so interessant to do a special report .
While the basic engineering work on the CMP platform and powertrains was done at the Groupe PSA technical HQ in Velizy, all the essential development of the Corsa was done by Opel engineers. Not just in Rüsselsheim, but of course also at our test center in Dudenhofen, on frozen lakes in northern Sweden, on the Nürburgring, and everywhere else we test and validate all of our vehicles. It is about how these parts and modules are used, tuned and integrated into the overall package that differentiates one car from another. Virtually all of the exterior and interior parts are unique to the Corsa. We're sure you will also agree that the 208 and Corsa look completely different from the outside and they have completely different cabin concepts. They are also completely different to drive. While there are of course some shared components, for example the basic wiring architecture behind the (completely different) dashboard, even here we have gone our own way. Just as an example, the climate control system works in a different way in the Corsa than it does in the 208.
They suggest an electric OPC would be possible, if so, based on the experience from Corsa-e Rally, whose development can give Opel some valuable experience on how to build durable and sporty electric cars.
I dont really have experience with Opel.. Whats the reliability on these little things?Because Im really interested to buy this as my first official car. I heard people talking shit about them,but Idk if I should believe that.I mean,I hear the same shit for FCA cars and a lot of others. If anyone bought this car(whatever recent year),please let me know.
Virtually all of the exterior and interior parts are unique to the Corsa. An example: there is no LED Matrix Light available in the 208. Also the design and the driving dynamics are completely different. All the essential development of the Corsa was done by Opel engineers. Not just in Rüsselsheim, but of course also at our test center in Dudenhofen, on frozen lakes in northern Sweden, on the Nürburgring, and everywhere else we test and validate all of our vehicles.
The touchscreen does not look 👀 good . Digital display is not look great either . I like the Audi A1 dash or the upcoming facelift version of the Audi A3
I recommend you experience a modern auto. Plus this auto has paddle shift for those that feel the need. Manual boxes will soon be history anyway. Electric vehicles are all auto.
@@pumpuppthevolume Actually that's just a number I pulled out of thin air. If you want to know, don't be "too lazy to google". Why should others do it for you?
never know how to call "fog lamp led housing" in one word. Not a big fan of vertical FLLH. Prefer horizontal ones. it is definitely a better looking Corsa, but it is far from Audi A3. But close to the new Golf. ;)
@@shroomyesc good point. Not sure, did not even think of Astra in that moment. But I would still find A1 better, then Polo R-Line, then Corsa. In my opinion, opel cars sort of look cheap even when the design is brand new. I understand if they produce a budget car and save on internals, but the costs of producing a good looking outer shell and ugly are the same.
@@Progan666 The drag coefficient can be improved on the smaller car. And making a smaller car makes it lighter. And it's not just about fuel economy, it's also about materials needed for constructing the car.
@@nevarran No, I am talking about what manufacturers have to pay directly to the EU. The heavier their cars are, the less they have to pay relative to how much fuel their cars use. Also Plug-in Hybrids get taxed less but regular hybrids not. And the fuel consumption of Plug-In cars does not get tested the same way, they use a different method that generates impossible fake numbers. All that is used to put regular hybrids at a disadvantage vs Plug-In hybrids.
Certainly not. Sharing a platform and engines with other car models is not unusual - in fact it is increasingly becoming the norm. It is about how these parts and modules are used, tuned and integrated into the overall package that differentiates one car from another. Here, once again, we can say that we have a product that is very different from the other cars in the Groupe which share some of the components. LED Matrix Light, an individual chassis tuning, climate control, an unique design are just a few points that prove this.
Yet the Corsa, Astra, Grandland and Crossland X as well as the Mokka and Insignia sell in large numbers. Hundreds of thousands of people must like them enough to put down their hard earned money for one.
