Corsa Sport – 5 door hatch added to the lineup!
Opel release their new five door Corsa Sport hatchback model, adding to their new product offensive which began in January this year. Following the release of the ADAM, Corsa and Mokka earlier this year – this 5 door 100 kW hatchback is aimed at the enthusiastic driver.
The Corsa Sport slots in just above the three cylinder 1.0 litre turbo-charged Cosmo model and rounds off Corsa’s their new line-up.
The new model is a dynamic and versatile hatch equipped with a 1.4 turbo-charged ecoTEC engine boasting 100kW @ 5000 RPM and 220 Nm of torque @ 3000 RPM. The 1.4 turbo weights just 118kg and features a cast iron block and aluminium cylinder head.
“Opel’s engineers have done an outstanding job with Corsa Sport. It’s an exciting vehicle which looks good without being over the top and of course the driving dynamics exhibit the key characteristics we have come to expect of all our new Germans,” said Christopher Cradock, Opel Brand Manager.
Combining both performance and efficiency, the engine propels the Corsa from a standing start to 0-100 km/h in 9.6 seconds, with a top speed of 204 km/h. The 1.4T Sport’s tested fuel consumption is 5.9 litres per 100 kilometres.
When it was launched, the 5th generation Corsa emphasised affordability and value for money by bringing inspiring design, innovating technology and an engaging drive to the youth. The Corsa Sport benefits from all the features found in this range which adds to the appeal of the vehicle as a high performance vehicle for young people with standard driver assistance, safety and infotainment features.
