New-look Corsa eyes top UK sales

Facelift for popular hatchback brings electric and hybrid gains

- WILL RIMELL

The Corsa supermini will get a major facelift this year when it receives new electric and hybrid powertrain options and becomes the last current Vauxhall to gain the company's bold 'Vizor' grille.

The British brand hopes heavy visual updates and increased power choices - as well as a rise in electric-only range - will enable the hatch to again become the country's most popular car, having been pipped last year by the Nissan Qashqai SUV and chased closely by the Tesla Model Y and Ford Puma.
