Peugeot Citroen South Africa became the official distributor of Opel vehicles in Mzansi from 1 January this year.
This announcement came with the introduction of the award-winning sixth generation Opel Corsa.
It’s been available at Opel dealerships across Mzansi since mid-January.
The new Corsa is an award-winning title holder from the 2019 Frankfurt Motor Show for the Best Buy Car of Europe, 2020. The Autobest jury, made of international journalists from 31 countries, chose the Opel newcomer as the car with the best price-performance ratio in Europe.
It also scored an Autobest title hat-trick in three successive generations.
In Germany, it has been named Company Car of the Year, and most recently, it received the Connected Car Award from the Auto Bild Group.
In Spain, it won the Premio Best Car Coche Global title.
Under the hood of the new model is a three cylinder – 1,2 litre petrol engine, generating 55kW.
The design of the cockpit features a driver-oriented instrument panel with a sporty, yet welcoming personality executed with German precision.
It’s about 108kg less than the previous model, even though they are roughly the same size.
It costs R289 900 and is the first derivative launched this year, with further versions planned for the first quarter this year. The new Corsa will appeal to a broad audience.
