The new model is based on the successful example of the Astra and Astra GTC. The distinctively different coupé-like three-door and family-friendly five-door Corsa models are tailor-made for different types of customers. While both body versions have the same length and height (3999 / 1488 mm), there is a small difference in their width (3-door: 1713 mm, 5-door: 1737 mm). Thanks to the long wheelbase (2511 mm) and wide track (front / rear: 1485 / 1478 mm), both Corsa versions have distinctively sporty proportions. The integrated carrier system “Flex-Fix” for the first time on a production car. Turn buttons for climate control, radio and lighting are backlit.

Piano-lacquer finish used in selected equipment variants on the center console with a matching finish on the steering wheel spokes and air-conditioning vent rings is of a much higher quality than normal in this class. The "infotainment system" allows for up to five different drivers to save their individual settings for electronic climate control and on-board electronics and activate them via the car key. Among the interesting features are the power panorama sunroof and a heated steering wheel.
