Available across the range, the four-cylinder ecoFLEX engine delivers an output of 118hp (120PS) and a peak torque of 175Nm (129 lb-ft).

It drives the front wheels through a five-speed manual gearbox and enables both the three- and five-door versions of the supermini to reach a top speed of 195 km/h (121mph) and accelerate from standstill to 100 km/h (62mph) in 10.3 seconds.

Thanks in part to the fuel-saving start/stop tech, the Corsa 1.4L Turbo returns a combined fuel consumption of 5.5 lt/100 km (42.8mpg US or 51.4mpg UK) with CO2 emissions of 129 g/km.

Moving on to the special edition variants, the All Black model is finished in a Carbon Flash shade and the All White in a Casablanca White paint. In addition, the logo bar across the front grille and the 17-inch alloy wheels are finished in the same color as the exterior, while there's also a chrome effect exhaust tail pipe.

Inside, there are white air vent rings for the All White Edition and matt chrome rings for its All Black counterpart. Both models get unique seat fabrics with silver colored seams as standard along with sport pedals, a multi-function leather steering wheel, and dark tinted windows.
