After seeing our first spy images of the next-generation Opel/Vauxhall Corsa hatchback strutting along on public roads, this time we’re looking at a four-door sedan version, which will likely travel across multiple continents under the GM umbrella.
While certain visual cues might point to this car being a Buick, we can definitely look past the integrated waterfall grille shown here and understand that it may be nothing more than a clever disguise.
According to our spy photographers, because this prototype is wearing “typical Opel camouflage”, chances are it really is an Opel and not one of its China or South America-bound Buick/Chevy cousins.
Visually, aside from the grille, the front bumper is also different to the one shown on the recently scooped 2018 Corsa hatchback, though it’s the new rear end that obviously sets this sedan model apart. With four doors and a much larger boot at its disposal, the 2018 Corsa will compete with rivals such as the Ford Fiesta sedan or the Fiat Siena in select markets.
Underneath, we’ll find GM’s new G2SC Gamma Platform, which will also underpin the next-generation Chevrolet Sonic and Bolt EV. As for powertrains and on-board tech, it’s rumored that the Corsa Sedan will end up utilizing some of the 5-door model’s three and four-cylinder engines, as well as some new connectivity and active safety systems borrowed from its larger Opel Astra sibling.
