The main new is that the style Opel vizor integrates the grill, the LED optics and the logo of the brand in a single piece. As a novelty the Intelli-Lux LED adaptive optics incorporate 14 projectors instead of the previous 8.

Meanwhile the bumper also changes with more muscular lines and the integration of two curtains at the ends. The lower air intake maintains the size but can be finished in piano black. In addition, in this case they integrate the anti-fog headlights in a honeycomb pattern that conceals them. If we go to the side view there are new alloy wheels and it can be seen that the color palette expands with, among others, the Gris Grafik shade.

In the rear, the changes are minor, although they do not go unnoticed. The tailgate integrates the Corsa name in the center in letters that, depending on the finish, can be in piano black and includes the "e" of the electric version on the outside. For its part, the bumper maintains its muscle and the air intakes seem to grow in size. On the negative side we have to keeps fog light in lower center area being very exposed to blows and friction.
