Opel is celebrating a major milestone. The 1,000,000th unit of the current generation Corsa F, first launched in 2019, has rolled off the production line at the Zaragoza plant in Spain. Available in petrol, hybrid and all-electric, the bestselling Corsa is a firm favourite, loved by private retail and business customers alike, and as such, demand has continued to go from strength to strength. In the first quarter of 2025, new Corsa registrations in Europe (E29), rose by +18% compared to the previous quarter. Since the launch of the very first Corsa over 4 decades ago, in 1982, almost 15 million units have been sold worldwide.
Florian Huettl, Opel CEO and Managing Director Stellantis Germany, said: “Our Corsa is a proven bestseller. The fabrication of the one millionth Corsa of the current generation demonstrates that customers simply really love our small car. With its fresh design, affordable top technologies and high flexibility packed in compact dimensions, it appeals to the most diverse groups of customers. This unique combination makes it a fundamental guarantee for success in our portfolio.”
The Corsa impresses with its characteristic striking design, including the Opel Vizor front face, and sporty nature. Compact, yet with space for up to five people, it offers affordable top technologies such as the adaptive, glare-free Intelli-Lux Matrix light, making journeys relaxing and safe. Customers have an extremely wide selection of drive options, ranging from battery-electric variants to modern hybrids with 48-volt technology and efficient combustion engines. Thus, the Corsa offers the right drivetrain for almost every usage profile and need. The Corsa Electric now boasts a 51kWh battery with an output of 115kW (156hp), returning a range of up to 429km (WLTP) on a full charge, an increase of almost 6% or up to 24km more than before.
The Corsa has been Germany’s bestselling small car for the past four years and was also the top-selling car in its segment in the UK for three years in a row (2021 to 2023).
Available in Ireland this July for the new 252-registration plate, a choice of three versions is offered – SC, Elegance and GS. Retailing from €210 per month through Opel Ireland 2.52% APR low-cost finance offer, customers will also avail of Opel’s 252 €1,000 Trade Up booster.
