Opel Celebrates Milestone with Corsa

Opel is celebrating a major milestone. The 1,000,000th unit of the current generation Corsa F, first launched in 2019, has rolled off the production line at the Zaragoza plant in Spain. Available in petrol, hybrid and all-electric, the bestselling Corsa is a firm favourite, loved by private retail and business customers alike, and as such, demand has continued to go from strength to strength. In the first quarter of 2025, new Corsa registrations in Europe (E29), rose by +18% compared to the previous quarter. Since the launch of the very first Corsa over 4 decades ago, in 1982, almost 15 million units have been sold worldwide.

Florian Huettl, Opel CEO and Managing Director Stellantis Germany, said: “Our Corsa is a proven bestseller. The fabrication of the one millionth Corsa of the current generation demonstrates that customers simply really love our small car. With its fresh design, affordable top technologies and high flexibility packed in compact dimensions, it appeals to the most diverse groups of customers. This unique combination makes it a fundamental guarantee for success in our portfolio.”

The Corsa impresses with its characteristic striking design, including the Opel Vizor front face, and sporty nature. Compact, yet with space for up to five people, it offers affordable top technologies such as the adaptive, glare-free Intelli-Lux Matrix light, making journeys relaxing and safe.
