Tucked between other...
Tucked between other cars on a transporter, the thin disguise made it easy to see the M탩gane-inspired front. The rear is similar to the current model, with all-new light clusters the only real change.
The Corsa is going off-road! These are
The Corsa is going off-road! These are
the latest shots of Vauxhall"s new supermini SUV, slated for release
in 2011.
Hiding under this Meriva body is a
widened Corsa chassis that will be the basis for the upcoming
off-roader. A slightly higher ride and widened track are all dead
give-aways as to the car"s true identity.
Beefed-up looks and rugged off-road
capability will introduce the new model into a small SUV
market that already includes the Skoda Yeti and looks set to receive
many more, including the upcoming MINI Crossman.
Among the new styling changes will be
new muscular wheel arches, to accommodate the wider track, a set of
roof rails and plastic protective bumpers.
Bosses are keen that the Corsa SUV lose
the "gas-guzzler" image normally associated with 4x4s, so expect to
see power coming from a range of low-capacity turbo-charged petrol
engines. Additionally, the firm"s efficient 1.3 and 1.7-litre diesels
will be tuned to give more low-down torque to the baby off-roader.
An entry level two-wheel drive version,
as well as a flagship hybrid model are also thought to be in the
offing for this latest supermini SUV.
