Vauxhall has updated the Corsa line-up for 2021, with a handful of cosmetic and mechanical tweaks that promise to keep the hatchback competitive with the Ford Fiesta, Renault Clio and Volkswagen Polo.
The revised Vauxhall Corsa is available to order now, with prices starting from £16,440 for the entry-level petrol model. The pure-electric Corsa-e has been subject to a similar range of updates and is now priced from £26,640 – around £1,000 cheaper than before.
Vauxhall Corsa-e vs Renault Zoe
Vauxhall’s biggest change for the pure-electric Corsa-e is the introduction of a sporty new SRi Nav premium trim-level, which sits between the car’s existing SE Nav premium and Elite Nav premium specifications.

It’s priced from £27,890 (including the Government’s £3,000 plug-in automobile grant) and adds 17-inch alloy wheels, rear privacy glass and a dedicated SRi interior with sports seats, sports pedals and red trim pieces.
Vauxhall has also introduced a new Elite trim for the combustion-engined Corsa. It’s priced from £18,355 and, with the exception of an in-built sat-nav system, features the same level of equipment as the firm’s existing Elite Nav model.
SRi models now come with Vauxhall’s light pack as standard, which adds LED fog lamps, LED tail lights and automatic headlights. Vauxhall has also added a fresh set of two-tone 17-inch alloy wheels to both the SRi and SRi Nav variants.

Finally, the Corsa can now be specced with a more powerful version of PSA’s turbocharged 1.2-litre three-cylinder petrol engine. The unit has been available to European buyers of the Opel Corsa from launch, and has now joined the Vauxhall range. It generates 128bhp and 230Nm of torque, which lowers the Corsa’s 0–60mph time to 8.2 seconds. It’s offered only with an eight-speed automatic gearbox.
