Opel Corsa ecoFLEX – The Most Fuel Efficient Opel Yet

New Cars | Dean | May 19, 2009 at 22:57

Opel’s new Corsa ecoFLEX is the most economical production car in the company’s history, as it only uses 4.0-litres per 100km, with a combined CO2 rating of 105g/km. The Corsa ecoFLEX is already on sale in the UK with a 3-door bodyshape, and it comes with a 75-hp 1.3-litre CDTi diesel engine that has 170Nm of torque.

There are numerous changes on this model, when compared to the out going version. You can now expect new gear ratios along with better aerodynamics and a lowered ride height. There will be narrower tires with lower-rolling resistance.

Expect 14-inch steel wheels which will cut weight on the car by around 45kg.

Pricing starts at £11,295 in the UK.
