Bi-Fuel Technology and Running Costs
The Corsa LPG uses a 1.4-litre engine paired with a five-speed manual gearbox. The bi-fuel system is integrated at the factory, allowing seamless switching between petrol and LPG.

This setup is designed for those who travel long distances or wish to reduce their running costs.
Official figures show LPG consumption at 6.9 litres per 100km, with CO2 emissions of 113g/km in LPG mode. The dual-fuel arrangement means drivers are not limited by LPG infrastructure, as the petrol tank provides a backup when LPG is unavailable.

Position in the Opel Line-Up
The new LPG model joins the broader Corsa range, which continues to offer petrol and diesel options. Opel has previously used the Corsa platform for other derivatives, including the Mokka SUV, highlighting the flexibility of this architecture. The addition of the LPG variant gives buyers more choice in the small car segment, especially those prioritising running cost savings.
