For the past forty years, the Opel Corsa has been a familiar sight on streets worldwide, being under various brand names like Vauxhall, Chevrolet, and Holden, and enhancing people's everyday lives.

The German carmaker Opel, now allied with the French group PSA (Peugeot-Citroen), has managed to launch its first electric model: the Corsa-e. The model uses the same technical platform as its sibling, the Peugeot 208-e, with both models having been launched in 2019. The Corsa name has been on the market since 1982 and more than 13.6 million units have been sold since.

The fourth generation of the Corsa was introduced in 2006. It had the world premiere in London and the sales started immediately, with big success on the market.

Opel introduced a mid-life cycle refresh for the Corsa in 2003, after four years since the launch of its third generation.

The third generation of the Corsa was unveiled in 1999 as a 2000 model and it was the smallest car offered by the German car-maker on the European market. It was available in three or five-door configurations.

Opel refreshed the second generation of the Corsa in 1997 for both versions with three and five doors, improving its look and enhancing the engine lineup.

Opel introduced the second generation of the Corsa in 1993, and General Motors developed the project as a world car.
