Opel Corsa OPC engine and specs
All versions use a front, transverse 1,598 cc Gasoline engine with 4 cylinders in an Inline layout, 4 valves per cylinder, and Turbo boost. The fourth-generation engines use Distributed injection (multi-point), whereas the fifth-generation engine uses Direct injection (direct). Every version requires 95 fuel, drives the front wheels, and has a 6-speed Manual gearbox.
Because every modification carries the same 1.6 MT name, the table distinguishes them by production phase and power.

For the lowest stated fuel use and CO₂ output, the 2011–2014 1.6 MT with 192 hp is the strongest numerical choice. Its combined consumption of 7.3 l/100 km is 0.3 l/100 km below the 210 hp version and 0.2 l/100 km below the fifth-generation version. Its CO₂ figure of 172 g/km is also 6 g/km below the 210 hp model and 2 g/km below the fifth-generation model, though its 7.2-second acceleration time is 0.4 seconds slower and its top speed is 5 km/h lower.
For the most torque, choose the 2015–2019 1.6 MT with 207 hp. Its 280 Nm output exceeds the 210 hp fourth-generation version by 30 Nm and every 192 hp version by 50 Nm. It is also the only listed version with Direct injection (direct) and Euro 6.
