Model Scheduled for 2025 Promises to Revive the Legacy of the Corsa, Now in SUV Version, with Initial Launch in Germany.
If you are one of those who still fondly remembers the Corsa, get ready for a novelty that promises to shake up the automotive market. Opel, which is part of the PSA group, is preparing to launch the new Corsa SUV for 2025. And no, you did not read that wrong: the iconic Corsa, which was one of the favorites in Brazil until 2016, will gain an SUV version.
From Compact to SUV: The Transformation of the Corsa
The new Corsa SUV will be built on the EMP1 platform, the same as the European Corsa, and the model will be called Mokka. This means it will not completely lose the essence of the compact, but rather will gain a significant upgrade, especially in size and embedded technologies. The idea is to offer an SUV that carries the history of the Corsa, but with all the modernity that the European market demands.
The Mokka, which is kind of a cousin to the Corsa, was launched in 2020 and already arrived with a modern look, without losing its charm. For the new Corsa SUV, the expectation is that it will maintain similar dimensions, with 4.15 meters in length, 1.79 meters in width, and 1.52 meters in height. Changes? Yes, but only in the front and some body details, mainly to differentiate from the electric version, the Mokka-e, which is already successful there.

Nissan X-Trail e-Power debuts as a hybrid SUV that runs like an electric vehicle, uses a 1.5 turbo engine only as a generator, promises up to 1,039 km per tank, and arrives in the Philippines with 204 hp, a 482-liter trunk, and a competitive price.

Cheaper than Civic and Corolla, this Korean sedan offers a giant 520-liter trunk, 2.0 flex engine, and 6-speed automatic transmission; the Kia Cerato EX 2.0 2022 stands out as an ideal option for those who prioritize interior space and comfort.

An old Nissan Bluebird received the motor, inverter, and battery from the Leaf, became electric, and kept the body intact in a conversion done in the United Kingdom.

The car that most Brazilians buy today may cease to exist by 2030, and automakers already know that the 1.0 aspirated engine with manual transmission is numbered in the country.
Under the Hood: What to Expect from the Engine
Speaking of the engine, the new Corsa SUV will not disappoint. Two versions are planned, in addition to the electric one: one powered by gasoline and another mild hybrid, both with a 1.2 engine of up to 136 horsepower. The electric version, already available in the Mokka-e, offers 156 horsepower and a range of 400 km, ideal for those looking for a sustainable and powerful option.
Inside, Opel is expected to pay attention to design, including an updated multimedia system, a new instrument panel and the latest technologies. Everything to ensure that the new Corsa SUV is not just a reminder of the past, but a true evolution that keeps the tradition alive.
Prices and Launch
And what about the price? Well, it is still early to have exact numbers, but if we look at the current Mokka, we can get an idea. Today, the gasoline model is sold in Portugal for 23,465 euros, which, in direct conversion, would be around R$ 144 thousand. The electric version, which is the most expensive, starts at 36,815 euros, about R$ 225 thousand. For the new Corsa SUV, it is likely that prices will follow this range, with a possibility of a slight adjustment, especially in the electric version, which may even see a reduction in the final price.
Launch of the New Corsa SUV is Scheduled for 2025
The launch of the new Corsa SUV is scheduled for 2025, with Germany being the first market to receive the model. There is still no confirmation if it will arrive in other countries outside of Europe, but expectations are high, especially among Corsa fans.
So stay tuned! The new Corsa SUV promises not only to recall the history of one of the most beloved models but also to bring all the modernity and innovation that the current market demands. Will it achieve the same success as before? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain: Corsa enthusiasts already have a good reason to eagerly await 2025.
