Paris Show : Opel Corsavan Concept

Not quite the exhilarating concept we've been waiting for from Opel and despite car maker's talk of , "a concept that takes the dynamic styling of New Corsa to an even sportier level, while also showing how the three-door car's looks would transfer to a city van", to us its just a Corsa with covered rear windows and an OPC styling pack.

Press Release: Finished in the same glossy Glamour Red as the Opel GT Concept shown at Geneva, Corsavan Concept features black-coloured side panels to replace the three-door Corsa's windows without detracting from the car's coupe-like lines. Distinctive sporty features include red front brake callipers, smart 17-inch alloy wheels and a OPC styling pack, comprising a new front bumper, side sills and a rear spoiler.

Black leather sports seats and piano-lacquer surfaces familiar from the Corsa hatchback complete the two-seater Corsavan Concept's interior, while a fully-lined load bay with a half-height bulkhead show how New Corsa's design translates into a very competent panel van, with a versatile load area. The concept car is powered by New Corsa's 90PS 1.3-litre CDTi engine with a six-speed gearbox.
