Ultimately, what we're looking at here is a Corsa that can. It can be fun to drive. It can deliver a big car feel. And it can stack up well on the balance sheet. It's a small Vauxhall for which no apologies need to be made. All that will worry obvious supermini rivals. After all, in its original form, this MK5 model was already a best seller. In this updated form, it aims to become a supermini that sells on more than just sheer value.
It's not perfect of course. It doesn't lead its class in terms of either space, efficiency or driving dynamics. And the truth is that for all the electrified headlines here, most sales will still be of models fitted with either an aging unelectrified 1.2-litre petrol unit or the older version of the Stellantis Group's EV powertrain. But things are changing - and this Corsa is too. Add to that the wide model line-up and the likely deals on offer and you've a supermini that more than ever, needs to remain high on any family's shopping list.
