Vauxhall has revealed pricing for the petrol and diesel models of the new Corsa.

The 1.2 SE starts at £15,550, making it £500 less than the cheapest Ford Fiesta.

The engine line-up includes two PSA-derived 1.2-litre petrol units. The entry-level one has 75PS and a five speed manual gearbox, there is also a turbcharged version with 100PS that comes with a six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic.

The Corsa-e, which has a 205-mile range (WLTP) and uses a 50kWh battery, will also be offered. Pre-orders are already being accepted.

It develops 136PS and 260Nm, giving a 0-30mph time of just 2.8 seconds. The car can reach the 60mph benchmark in just over eight seconds.

A 1.5-litre diesel completes the Corsa range, with 102PS.

The diesel has CO2 emissions of 85g/km, while the petrols emit between 93 and 99g/km. 

In developing the new model, engineers have managed to save a considerable amount of weight, with models 10% lighter on average. The lightest Corsa now tips the scales at just 980Kg, which should help with efficiency and performance.

Four core trims are available: SE, SRi, Elite and Ultimate.

The base spec includes alloy wheels, a seven-inch touchscreen and LED headlights.

SRi models have a sportier look thanks to a styling pack, plus an alarm, and rear parking sensors

The Elite comes with sat-nav, electric folding door mirrors, part leather (look) seats, rear-view camera and front parking sensors.

Range-topping Ultimate costs £25,990 and features leather seats with driver's massage function, keyless entry, climate control and a 10-inch infotainment screen.

First deliveries will commence in January 2020, with the Corsa-e arriving in dealerships a few months later.
