The 1.3-liter diesel engine in the new generation Corsa has been profoundly reworked in its hard- and software in order to deliver smoother power and sound and to comply with the stringent Euro 6 emissions standard. The 1.3 CDTI can be ordered in two output versions, 55 kW/75 hp or 70 kW/95 hp, both giving 190 Nm maximum torque.
New-generation turbochargers ensure smooth driving and acceleration at low engine speeds with minimal noise generation. Both versions come with fuel-saving Start/Stop technology fitted as standard and a five-speed manual gearbox - six-speed will also be available soon in combination with higher output. At launch, the most frugal Corsa diesel version - a three-door model with 70 kW/95 hp, a five-speed manual transmission and braking energy recuperation system - can reduce CO2 emissions down to 85 g/km and fuel consumption to 3.2 l/100 km in the combined cycle. This has earned it Germany's A+ energy efficiency label (according to Regulation [EC] No 715/2007).
