Test Drive Opel Corsa 5 doors since 2011 hatchback
New Opel Corsa. Non-obviously obvious
I respect those who do not scream about their advantages. Rewrite how you changed how more mature, insightful and restrained became the last thing. And here is Corsa? The modest of the new 2010 model year, debuting in Geneva, has not changed outwardly, but within a change of change. Corsa has received an upgraded line of power units and a reconfigured running part. The scale of surgery appreciated Vitaly Kabyshev, trading on the renewed car in the vicinity of Frankfurt. The fourth generation Opel Corsa divided the platform with a classmate Fiat Grande Punto. From the outsiders for manageability, the Corsa separates the abyss, but also to the leaders (Ford Fiesta, Mazda2, the Volkswagen family based on POLO) even with a reconfigured chassis far. The revolution did not happen, although the Corsa began to behave significantly noble. A little more comfortable undergoing irregularities, slightly less cubed, slightly gone steal. In steep turns, passing joints, the machine does not blunt to jump into the outer radius.
All thanks to reconfigured shock absorbers, other springs and more rigid rubberometallic hinges. The angular stability of the transverse stability stabilizers of the front suspension and the curled beam rear semi-dependent suspension increased. The calibration of the electric detector was also changed by the way, the running part of the charged OPC did not touch, there it was all at the level, although the engineers were still a little over the steering settings.
The engines have become more powerful, more economically and more economically average by 10%. Liter 3-cylinder motor sentence to hypodynamia. In the parking lot in the residential neighborings of his 65 hp and 90 nm (previously there were 60 hp and 88 nm) even more or less enough. But on the autobahn or, God forbid, narrow mountain roads, where for overtaking place in the edge, the motor is already a little. To achieve at least some accelerations, the engine must be kept in a tone. 1.0 Motor is addressed to economists who are speaking to the lantern. The only plus consumption. In a mixed cycle, the machine eats only five liters of gasoline instead of 5.6, as it was earlier.
Both versions of the motor 1.2 (power 70 and 85 hp) stunning accelerations also do not indulge. Do not want to strain when offek? Choose a version at least with a 1.4-liter engine. This unit, equipped with a system for recycling exhaust gases, was previously offered in one extension 90 strong. Now you can choose two of its versions with different boosters 87 and 100 hp By the way, for Motors 1.2 and 1.4, the gas distribution phase adjustment system has been developed (at the inlet and on the release). Corsa gasoline engines line marked with a 1.6-liter turbo engine, which develops 150 hp For the version of GSI or 192 hp For Corsa OPC. Now the engine can boast reduced by 7.6% consumption. CO2 emissions decreased by 9.5%.
To a pair of diesel motors 1.3 CDTI, developing 75 and 90 horses, another option was added 95-strong. Increased power and improving environmental indicators managed to achieve thanks to the use of a turbocharger with a variable geometry of the guide machine (earlier the turbine was normal) and other injection settings.
Top diesel 1.7 CDTI now gives 130 hp. And torque 300 nm (earlier 100 hp and 240 nm). At the same time, the level of carbon dioxide and fuel consumption decreased by 9%. The motor efficiency has improved due to the optimization of the combustion process: the degree of compression is slightly lowered, and the injection has become phased (fuel in the cylinder is injected not one, but eight consistent portions). In addition, a new intake path was applied with an air charge movement system. Preheating candles are also new, they require less energy.
If the driver's seat is a basketball player, a lot of rear seats will be left
Reducing the flow and improvement of environmentally friendliness on modifications with mechanical gearboxes contributes to the SHIFT UP indicator, prompting the timeliness of the transition to the desired transmission. All motors, except for diesel 1.3 CDTI, meet the requirements of Euro-5. Russian cars will receive all engines, except for the 1.7-liter diesel engine. All wine price.
Externally distinguished the updated Corsa can only be rearly lansed. There are almost no changes within changes, only the materials of some details and elements of the decor in some versions are replaced by other.
The FlexFix bicycle transport system is a retractable collapsible design located under the trunk floor. It is proposed as an option. If you order FlexFix, you have to forget about the spareswear. The latter will replace remkomplekt, consisting of sealant and compressor
Russians are addressed by almost all additional benefits available in Europe. These are adaptive peers in the turn of AFL headlights with halogen lamps, active front head restraints, touching the rings, navigation, panoramic hatch, extendable FlexFix system for bicycle transportation integrated into the rear bumper. In the corse for reasonable money, you can get sensors of rain and light, steering wheel with electrical heating (who else from classmates is such a luxury?!), Electric windows, parking sensors, climate and cruise control ...
Front two-stage airbags for the driver and passenger are standardized. Additionally, side pillows and curtains are offered. According to the EURO NCAP Corsa test technique, a five-star security rating has earned, earning 34 points for the protection of the front passengers
Orders to the updated Corsa are already accepted, dealers are talking about delivery time in four months. Prices promise to leave at the same level (from 462,000 rubles for three-door Essentia to 887,700 for the charged version of OPC). If the rise in price and will be, then within fifty thousand rubles.
