The new Corsa has gone on sale at Hartwell Vauxhall at the Oxford Motor Park in Kidlington.

The Corsa has “Eagle-Eye” headlamps, daytime running lights, chrome grille bar with new Griffin badge and bright new paint colours.

Vauxhall’s Touch & Connect multi-media system is available with a five-inch touch-screen, satellite navigation, CD and radio, USB and Bluetooth connectivity.

New 16-inch alloy wheels feature on SE and SXi models, and the VXR hot hatch gets the option of new 18-inch alloy wheels. The suspension has been re-tuned with tweaks across the range to improve ride and handling.

These changes complement recent changes to the engine line-up, when the 1.3CDTi ecoFLEX engine was made available with stop and start technology, giving it emissions of 94g/km of CO2 and an average of 78.5mpg.

Terry Thurgood, general manager for Hartwell, said “I was lucky enough to be one of the first to take the new Corsa for a test drive and I have to say the handling of the car was truly superb.

"This coupled with its new looks and unbeatable starting prices mean it will be a true winner for us."

The Corsa is available for test driving at Hartwell Vauxhall at Oxford Motor Park, Kidlington, OX5 1RY by calling 0844 324 7460.
