The second generation of the Opel Corsa (Corsa B) was introduced in 1992, and the serial production of the car was carried out until 2000. The model was based on the Opel Junior prototype and was offered in hatchback bodies with three and five doors. During production, about 6 million Kors were sold in 80 countries around the world.

Opel Corsa B is a member of the subcompact class. In many markets, it was sold under the names Vauxhall Corsa and Chevrolet Corsa. Regardless of the body type, the length, width and height of the Opel Corsa B are 3740 mm, 1610 mm and 1420 mm, respectively, the wheelbase is 2445 mm, the ground clearance (clearance) is 140 mm. Depending on the type of engine installed and equipment, the curb weight of the hatchback varies from 855 to 1135 kg. The volume of the luggage compartment is 260 liters, and with the rear seat folded down - 1050 liters. The list of standard equipment Opel Corsa B includes two front airbags and electric power steering. ABS was optionally available.

OVERALL IMPRESSION

The machine is very reliable, not lomuchaya with normal care. Very good handling and the so-called "car feel". Repair services are cheap. I would recommend this car as a first for beginners. With the seats unfolded, a luggage compartment of 1.2x1.2 m is obtained, which is certainly not bad, but somewhat small (my laminate did not fit). The interior in front is a little cramped (if a passenger sits with his smartphone on his elbows, it interferes with shifting gears). The body is made of tank steel, which unnecessarily increases the mass of such a fairly compact car and, as a result, with a liter engine, absolutely no dynamics is obtained. The search for spare parts often turns into a difficult quest with zero results, although the parts themselves cost like a VAZ. When buying, make sure that you don’t get a mono-injection like me and the engine needs to be taken more.

ADVANTAGES

Handling, small turning radius, reliability, 4-room interior, cheap maintenance.

If anyone else does not know, I inform you: automakers imposed sanctions against Russia much earlier than the European Union. In fact, more than half of decent European modifications, under any weather, do not reach the Russian Federation. And if the Opel Adam Rocks, equipped with a wonderful 1.0 Turbo engine, was a happy exception, then we won’t even see an old 1.4 Turbo on the new Corsa!

In our country, B-class hatchbacks of foreign brands have never been particularly popular, at least until the advent of the Solaris / Rio downshifting couple. But the models that embodied this class have always diverged well. Think of the Peugeot 206 or the previous Skoda Fabia. Opel Corsa of the fourth generation also occupies its rightful place in this series.

Hidden transformation. "Opel Corsa" has changed only inside.

Do not look for external differences in the modernized "Opel Corsa". There are practically none. Small cosmetic touches do not count. All changes are hidden inside the body. The hatchback actually received a new chassis and improved engines.

Unisex. Opel Corsa 1.4 Sport

The word "unisex" is firmly entrenched in the modern lexicon. In the world of clothing and perfumery, it is found all the time to refer to products suitable for both men and women. The new Opel Corsa is unisex in the world of cars.

Every day on the streets we meet a lot of frivolous small cars with ladies at the wheel. And when I approached this little red bug in the parking lot for the first time, I thought - well, what to expect from another girly runabout? I will slowly "vomit" in the right lane ... It turned out, however, that the Corsa is able to drive quite like an adult. And many more expensive cars are far from its transparent handling.

Opel continues to refute the derogatory attitude to the brand - you can remember the Signum and Astra. The corporate line, of course, is designed in the same style, but Corsa is the most charming model. Do not forget about unisex: a small body (less than 4 m long) with "cat" headlights and a much smaller number of sharp edges than on other models - and, moreover, quite courageous "thighs" of the rear wheel arches and 16-inch wheels. Inside, the ladybug tries its best to look like older models. A reduced copy of the Astra and Vectra salons, but the materials are worse. The same instrument panel (there is no coolant temperature indicator), the same center console with microclimate control knobs, "music" and a telephone, a similar three-spoke steering wheel with buttons responsible for the operation of the audio system and on-board computer, the same non-fixed steering column switches.

The car we got was equipped with rain and light sensors, climate control, parking sensors, and a huge sliding sunroof. "Men's" sports seats (basic option for the Sport version with a 1.4 liter engine) with sufficient lateral support, however, suggest a "female" landing - quite high. It will be easy for girls to turn the steering wheel, press the pedals and shift gears (it is unlikely that any of them will notice fuzziness when quickly moving up to “fifth”), while there is decent feedback on the steering wheel in all modes (despite the electric booster) and powerful deceleration with adequate information on the brake pedal.

The 1.4-liter EcoTec engine produces 90 forces, and such a small car would be enough for them, but the heavily damped accelerator drive prevents the traction from being controlled - if you drown the pedal in neutral and immediately release it, the revolutions will have time to rise to a maximum of 1500. But Euro 4 rules the world, c'est la vie, so you can't switch with peregazovanie. And want. Because the Corsa constantly provokes you to go down a couple of gears and press down as it should. Sharp, of course, handling can not be called, but the word Sport in the name of the version is clearly not superfluous. Wheels placed at the corners, elastic, but not shaky suspension and transparent steering allow you to fool around. Amazingly nimble car!

Of course, on high-speed straights Corsa folds, at speeds above 150 km / h it behaves nervously, especially on rough roads, but up to this point it is responsive and ready for any adventure. A sophisticated driver will like the behavior of the Corsa in extreme conditions. The classic front-wheel drive is a slight drift at the entrance, and when the gas is released, the car shifts to a steeper trajectory, turning into a skid. The latter is easily corrected - there is plenty of time to "catch" the car.

The dimensions are such that there are almost never any problems with parking and turning. However, the trunk has an impressive volume of 285 liters for its class, and with the rear seats folded down, it turns out as much as 1050 liters. The Dual Floor transformation system is very good, dividing the cargo compartment into two parts.

Baby Corsa was a pleasant surprise. For a very reasonable price ($ 14,190 - basic equipment with a 1.4-liter engine), a rather nimble little car is offered, capable of accommodating four riders and a certain amount of luggage with a modest size. Having landed three "superfluous" and unloaded things, you can be smart. The motor would be more powerful here, but that's another story - it's called OPC.

The debut of the Corsa model took place in 1983. The first generation was represented by 3- and 5-door hatchbacks, 2- and 4-door sedans and a 3-door station wagon, which were modernized twice in 10 years of production - in 1987 and 1990.

The line of power units consisted of 5 gasoline engines with a capacity of 45 hp or more. up to 100 hp (sports version GSI), as well as 2 diesel - 50 and 67 hp.

The second generation came out in 1993. Four years later, the Opel Corsa was updated, but they did it in such a way as to preserve the recognizable and beloved look of the car. Opel Corsa received a new grille and front bumper, plastic trim for wheel arches, wider side moldings. Bumpers of most modifications are now painted in body color. The interior of the car remained the same, but the technical stuffing has undergone major changes. The car is now equipped with electric power steering, modified front wheel suspension, and under the hood - a completely new three-cylinder engine of the ECOTEC family with a displacement of 1 liter and 55 hp. The maximum speed is 150 km/h. Acceleration to "hundreds" in 18 seconds.

Corsa is produced at ten plants - in Spain, Germany, Portugal, Brazil (2 plants), Colombia, Ecuador, Venezuela, Mexico and South Africa. AT different countries Corsa is sold under different names. For example, in Brazil it is Chevrolet Corsa, in Mexico it is Chevrolet Chevy, in Australia it is Holden Barina (Holden is the Australian branch of General Motors), in England it is Vauxhall Corsa, in Japan it is Opel Vita.

Corsa, produced in different countries, differs not only in names, but also in equipment, engines and even bodies.

For eleven years of production in 80 countries, about 6 million were sold. However, seven years is too much even for such a successful car, and the aging Corsa began to lose in the fight against newer models of its main competitors. And in 2000, sales of the third generation began.

Opel Corsa 2000 model range there are no revolutionary changes, it is not much different from its predecessor. In the updated exterior, a hood appeared, divided into two halves by a face. Behind - vertical lights that took place on the pillars. A redesigned front end with a thicker grille and sharply defined almond-shaped headlights gives the third generation Corsa a more aggressive and dynamic look.

The wheelbase is 2491 mm, a record figure for a car of this class. The cabin has become a little more spacious, the internal width has increased by almost 80 mm, and the overall length of the car has increased to 3820 mm. Solidity has increased not only in appearance: body torsional rigidity increased by a third. The engine and front suspension are now mounted on a closed subframe, improving not only strength but also comfort.

The new chassis DSA (Dynamic Safety) allows the car to hold the road perfectly even at high speeds.

The center console houses the Siemens multifunctional system, which includes a radio, CD changer, telephone and navigation system with voice announcement. At the top of the panel is a multifunctional information display.

The range of power units is extensive. Engines of various sizes and capacities are available to choose from, from a modest 1.0-litre three-cylinder petrol engine with 58 hp. up to a 1.8-liter engine with a power of 125 hp.

Four-cylinder turbodiesels with direct fuel injection have the same volume of 1.7 liters, but due to different boost pressures, they differ in power of 65 and 75 hp. Fuel consumption 4.7 liters per 100 km.

In all versions, Corsa will remain an economical car. All gasoline units comply with Euro 4 environmental requirements, and diesel Euro 3.

All cars are equipped with electric power steering and ABS, working in conjunction with an electronic brake force distribution system.

There are three types of transmission for the Corsa. In addition to the five-speed manual and four-speed automatic transmission, it is equipped with a new Easytronic system, which is a conventional manual gearbox that can be switched without depressing the clutch, both in automatic mode and at the choice of the driver.

Front and side airbags at the front are standard equipment along with active headrests.

Minor cosmetic changes were made in 2003. Slightly redesigned chrome grille. Body-colored bumpers are protected by black moldings. The interior trim has new color schemes and trim materials, in six versions. In addition, standard equipment includes ABS with Brake Assist and the Follow Me Home system, which accompanies the driver with headlights from the car to the door of the house, and xenon and ESP are included in the list of options.

Old-timers remained in the range of gasoline engines - engines 1.0, 1.2 and 1.8 (60, 75 and 125 forces, respectively).

The long-awaited debut of the fourth generation of the subcompact Opel Corsa took place in 2006 in London. The car turned out to be muscular, smiling and with a claim to sportiness. It is based on the Gamma platform, which is the first joint brainchild of GM and FIAT. Thanks to this platform, Corsa has grown in size: the length has increased by 160 mm (3999 mm), the width has increased by 60 mm (1707 mm), the height has increased by 50 mm (1490 mm). The wheelbase is 2511 cm long. The trunk has added 15 liters in volume and can now hold up to 275 liters.

Model bodies traditionally have three or five doors. The five-door version is 24mm wider than the three-door version.

The fourth generation Opel Corsa is assembled at an automobile plant in the German city of Eisenach and Zaragoza (Spain).

Externally, the new Corsa is significantly different from its predecessor. But it has similar features with the Opel Astra: angular headlights, a pointed hood and chrome strips along the tailgate near the bottom. In general, the exterior turned out to be avant-garde and original.

The interior deserves special attention. The manufacturer offers an unprecedented breadth of choice of finishes. In the cabin, there are many compartments for storing various small things, spectacular and original design techniques, such as transparent buttons and dashboard levers (the presence of which depends on the configuration).

Crosa is equipped with three petrol engines (1.0 l/60 hp, 1.2 l/80 hp and 1.4 l/90 hp) and three turbocharged diesel engines (1.3 CDTi with 75 and 90 hp). , and 1.7 CDTi with 125 hp). All gasoline engines are equipped with the proprietary Twinport fuel economy system. All diesel units are equipped with a particulate filter as standard. However, diesel versions will not be delivered to Russia.

Depending on the equipment, Corsa is equipped with 5- and 6-speed manual transmissions and an Easytronic automatic transmission.

Engineers have developed a completely new chassis for the Corsa. If you wish, you can order an ESP stabilization system with the latest EUC (Enchanced Understeering Control) function: correcting driver errors, the automation will individually brake each of the four wheels or all together. And for the "basic" money, the owner will receive an advanced ABS with the CBC (Cornering Brake Control) function, which is almost equivalent to a stabilization system.

Corsa electronics are impressive: adaptive halogen headlights that change the angle and intensity of illumination depending on the speed and steering angle, navigation system, CD player with MP3 playback, Bluetooth connectivity for next-generation mobile phones with voice control. Corsa can be equipped with tires that allow you to safely continue to move even on a flat tire, and many other nice additions.

As options will be offered a low sports suspension, 17-inch wheels and power steering, which changes the stiffness depending on the driving conditions. Another interesting technical innovation is a retractable platform that allows you to attach two bicycles to it. The system is called "Flex-Fix" (Flex-Fix) and is offered as an option.

In 2007, a charged version of the Corsa OPC appeared (development of the Opel Performance Center division). Its main highlight is the 1.6-liter turbocharged engine with 141 kW/192 hp, which accelerates the compact car from zero to 100 km/h in 7.2 seconds with a top speed of 225 km/h.

The exterior of the Corsa OPC also reflects the car's sporty character. A roof spoiler, powerful front and rear aprons with distinctive gills add a certain charm to the model. The centrally located triangular tailpipe and specially designed exterior mirrors look original and attract attention.

The Corsa OPC comes with 17-inch 215/45 R17 alloy wheels, while 18-inch rims and 225 tires are available as an option.

A large 16-inch braking system with beautiful blue calipers guarantees strong deceleration. The Corsa OPC boasts 308mm ventilated front disc brakes and 264mm disc brakes in the rear.

In 2010, the model was restyled. Opel Corsa received minor aesthetic changes, new colors for body painting, and also expanded the range of its engines. Through the efforts of designers, the exterior has become more modern and a bit aggressive. The main changes were made to the front part - they put in a new false radiator grille, which is crossed by chrome transverse stripes, and a front bumper with a large air intake in the middle. The shape of the niches for the fog lights has changed. The section of the headlights has become more expressive, not in last turn due to black color inner surface. The rims also got a fresh design. At the same time, the back of the Corsa was left unchanged.

For lovers of individual adaptation, a ready-made Linea package is offered, which provides for the placement of two adhesive strips (white or black) on the body of the car, which will cross it in its entire length, as well as special rims and caps.

Inside, there are even fewer changes. Several new interior trim options have been added. Options have become richer. In addition, a navigation multimedia system with a Bluetooth module and USB connectors for connecting an iPod is now available to customers.

Restyling touched and motors. EcoFLEX returned to the list of versions of the compact city car, equipped with a 1.3-liter CDTI diesel engine with 95 horsepower and a Stop & Start system. According to the manufacturer, in this version, the 3-door Opel Corsa will consume only 3.5 liters per 100 kilometers and emit 94 g/km of CO2 into the atmosphere.



Repair and Maintenance Opel Corsa B, Combo, Tigra. Opel Corsa B / Combo / Tigra (from 1993 to 2000)

The release of the new model began in 1993. Korsa is a typical representative of the era of biodesign. At that time, the smallest car from Opel did not change much in appearance. It just became smoother, rounder. As before, options for three- and five-door hatchback bodies are offered, and later a sedan appeared (a native of one of the departments of the GM concern, it is extremely rare). Slightly retouched appearance (facing, bumpers, moldings). The geometry of the front suspension has been slightly changed - they believe that now the car is better controlled in critical situations. The front ends of the extensions are installed in hydraulic supports: they reduce noise during suspension operation, make steering less susceptible to external influences (shocks, wheel imbalance, etc.). The most dramatic changes have occurred in the range of Opel Corsa engines.

The engine management system is arranged in a new way - that is, ignition and fuel injection. Modern microchip technology made it possible to fit the control unit into a flat box: 150x100x10 mm - less than an accounting calculator. It was placed not in the cabin, but directly on the engine. In addition, individual ignition coils were used, which were put directly on the candles - many wires and contacts became redundant, and the likelihood of typical defects and interference decreased. Candles with two "mass" electrodes require replacement only after 60 thousand km - someone will have time to part with "Corsa" without having done this operation ...

The car received a different power steering (installed for a fee): electric motor direct current(12 V, 45 A), which is connected to the steering shaft by a worm gear. It is controlled by a microprocessor, receiving signals from sensors for speed, engine speed and torque on the steering shaft. Thanks to this, the effect of reinforcement exactly corresponds to the maneuver being made.

The automatic transmission (installed on request and only on models with a 1.4 engine) is electronically controlled and has four speeds and three operating modes: economical, sporty and winter. Additionally, there is a special mode for starting the car in winter.

In the doors - passive safety elements - double steel bars. In the front there are collision sensors that actuate the airbags, the seat belt pretensioner system, and a separate sensor removes all central locking locks. The kit includes an electronic anti-theft device controlled by a standard key through the ignition switch. The back of the rear seat can now move around the lower mounting axis, changing its inclination and increasing the useful volume of the trunk.

There are several configuration options for the Opel Corsa: "City" - the simplest and cheapest, "Swing" - the most common and everyday, "Sport" - an option for sports drivers, "CDX" - the most complete list of options supplied as standard equipment, "JOY "Youth version. In addition, the Germans are traditionally very fond of producing cross configurations, each of which is then assigned its own name like "CDX JOY". And for the World Cup in France, a batch of Opel Cors - "World Cup" was specially prepared (Regularly installed: tachometer, power steering, ABS, radio, sunroof and cast 14-inch wheels. And for this batch such a "package" will cost much (by 1520 marks) cheaper than ordered at another time for a conventional car). At the request of the buyer, Opel Corsu can be equipped with: automatic transmission (only with 1.4 engine), heated exterior mirrors, electric sunroof, air conditioning, ABS, alloy wheels, leather-wrapped steering wheel, tinted windows, central locking, front electric windows, more expensive audio system.

In 1999, they decided to "refresh" the six-year-old car. And as a result, the third generation of babies from Opel was born. Since October 2000, Opel has released the third generation Kors. The appearance of the updated "Korsa" is solved in the style of the middle class model "Opel Vectra". On a small car, the familiar features of the older "sister" look unusual, but, oddly enough, they fit well into the overall style.

The choice of bodies remained unchanged. Three- and five-door variants with one of 6 engines are still offered. Only now the body, like that of the Astra model, is completely galvanized. Opel gives the same guarantee for 12 years against through corrosion.

The changes affected the front and rear, as well as interior elements, the range of engines has also changed. The most recent and interesting element The design of the novelty can be called vertical taillights, located on the rear pillars. This decision has two undeniable advantages. Firstly, it was possible to increase the width of the fifth door, and secondly, in the event of an accident, the lights remain intact. The third-generation Opel Korsa is slightly longer (3810 mm versus 3740 mm) and wider (1640 mm versus 1610 mm) than its predecessor. Vehicle weight - 960 kg. Trunk volume - 280 liters.

A new chassis (DSA - Dynamic Safety) has been developed for the new Corsa, which ensures safe and comfortable driving. The front suspension has also been significantly redesigned, and much attention has been paid to the acoustic noise of the car.

The car is equipped with a whole range of engines, including a 1.2-liter with 75 horsepower and a 90-horsepower, 1.4-liter gasoline engine. Among the units is an ultra-efficient one-liter engine that consumes only 4.7 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers. All engines of the new car meet stringent European emission standards.

In addition to manual gearboxes and a four-speed "automatic", those who wish can order an Easytronic semi-automatic sequential gearbox. This is a novelty - a hydromechanical automatic machine with a manual switching system. It is a manual gearbox equipped with three stepper electric motors that coordinately drive the gearshift and clutch mechanisms. With all the additional hitch, such a gearbox is only 4 kg heavier than the usual one.

The shift lever, reminiscent of the "machine" selector, moves in a U-shaped slot, there are only two pedals under your feet. The clutch engages and disengages automatically at the computer's signal. All control of the box is entrusted to electronic brains. And the shift lever is more of a joystick, with which the driver transmits his commands to smart electronics.

Key in the lock, foot on the brake pedal, gear lever in neutral. This is the starting position for starting the car. The lever to the left, towards you - and the gear number is displayed on the instrument panel display: one, you can go. The transmission allows you to choose between automatic and pseudo-manual modes. In the first case, the electronics are engaged in changing gears depending on the speed and acceleration. Moreover, by pressing the button with a snowflake, you can make the automation think in a winter way, that is, get under way and switch very smoothly. After neutral, the machine turns on by default. While there is no torque converter as a class, the Easytronic mode feels like a traditional automatic. In quiet mode, gear shifting occurs at 3500 rpm without jerks and extraneous sounds. If you press on the gas harder, you can feel the step of the "kick-down" mode. The car thinks for a second, responds with a loud roar of the engine, after which it begins to accelerate.

In the second mode, the driver, as they say, cards in hand. The principle is simple: pushing the lever forward shifts the box one step up, back - a gear down. We start from the spot. 1st to the floor - and the car smoothly, without the slightest hint of slippage, gently engaging the clutch, begins intensive acceleration. The motor spins up quite briskly to the red zone. Second. You catch yourself thinking that the gear lever did not want to swing forward, but backward, as in a conventional mechanical box. And then the car suddenly droops for a short moment, as if choking on gasoline. Then pickup follows again - and again vigorous acceleration. It is only important not to forget to swing the lever in time to switch to the next gear: the two-pedal nature of the car somewhat dulls vigilance - and the motor can be twisted.

The safety of the new Opel Corsa is at a high level: there are front and side airbags for the driver and front passenger, seat belts for all five passengers, active head restraints in the front seats, as well as a proprietary system that increases the safety of the pedal assembly in an accident. The serial equipment of the most powerful modification - Opel Korsa 1.8i - will include the ESP stabilization system.

The increased base gives the car a sporty look, makes the interior more spacious, especially in the "shoulder" area - the "sore" place of all compact cars. There was also more space for passengers. At the rear, the cabin has become wider by 8 cm and higher by 1.5 cm. This provides passengers with more living space and greater comfort, especially on long journeys.

The Automobile Club of Germany awarded the Corsa the title of "Car of the Decade" because it was ranked first among the most economical and environmentally friendly models three times. We are talking about the version with a one-liter gasoline twelve-valve three-cylinder engine "Ecotech". The car satisfies today's strictest D4 standards (introduced in Europe under the name Euro IV only since 2005) and is therefore exempt from taxes for six years. Its emissions of 135 g CO2 per kilometer are in line with the value adopted as mandatory for European cars since ... 2008.

Model news: On June 26, 2003, Opel launched the production of upgraded versions of the Opel Corsa. Externally, the updated restyled Corsa differs from the previous generation with a new front end. The car received a new radiator grille, new trapezoidal 3D ellipsoidal headlights with three cylindrical reflectors, bumpers made and painted in a slightly different style. In the cabin you will be greeted with better finishing materials. But the most important changes are hidden under her hood.

Opel Corsa has almost completely changed the line of engines. She received two new turbodiesels with a volume of 1.3 liters (70 hp) and 1.7 liters (100 hp) with Common Rail systems that fit into Euro4 exhaust standards and a new 1.4-liter (90 hp .c) gasoline engine with Twinport technology. Twinport technology, introduced since February 2003 on the Astra, allows, according to company representatives, to save approximately 23% of fuel compared to the conventional 1.4-liter engine that was previously installed on the Corsa. Also, the new revolutionary Twinport technology is now used in the smallest, three-cylinder engine with a volume of only 1 liter, which made it possible to remove 2 hp from it. more (60 hp versus 58 for its predecessor). This innovation now allows a one-liter Corse with a Twinport engine to consume another 0.2 liters of fuel per 100 km less than the record-breaking predecessor. Now you can drive on gasoline and consume only 4.5 liters per 100 km. and this despite the fact that the power of the motor and its moment have increased.

In addition, the electric power steering was modernized with automatic adjustment of effort depending on the speed of movement. The gear ratio was slightly reduced, which made it possible to drive the machine even sharper and even easier. The list of configurations has been expanded where the ESP system and xenon headlights can be installed as basic equipment on the Corsa (since autumn). The Easytronic automatic sequential transmission is now available for all 1.4-litre petrol engines and for the 1.3-litre diesel (1.3 CDTI model).

Corses will continue to be produced in three- and five-door bodies. The production line of the updated Kors now includes six trim levels. In addition to the basic ones, there are also: "Eco", "Enjoy", Cosmo, Sport" and "GSi". Future buyers are offered a choice of 15 paintwork options, a large list of optional equipment, 5 options interior decoration. In a word, all the possibilities for giving new car purely individual parameters for each specific buyer. As additional options, a set of equipment from the older Vectra C model is now offered: an ESP road stabilization system, a Take Me Home system (yes, yes. There is one), an emergency braking force boost system (Brake-assist). The use of new engines made it possible to change the service intervals. Now for gasoline engines they are 2 years or 30 thousand kilometers, and for diesel engines - two years or 50 thousand kilometers. run. Information about the need for service is now issued to the driver on the instrument panel and the car itself reminds of the approaching date of a trip to the service for service.
