Being a new driver is always exciting – but at first, it can be difficult to understand which car to choose. Especially because with rules on weight-to-power ratio, the cars a new driver can legally drive for their first three years behind the wheel (and thus consider buying) are significantly fewer. On top of that, there's the challenge of finding a vehicle that's safe, affordable, and suitable for daily needs, while also offering performance, design, and functionality without exceeding the budget. With all of this in mind, Opel has responded with the new Opel Corsa YES, a car that’s perfect for new drivers, allowing them to drive safely without having to settle for a car that’s too small or underpowered. When it comes to performance, the Opel Corsa is easy to handle, with smooth gear changes and light steering, making even the most inexperienced feel confident during challenging maneuvers, such as parking in tight spaces – and every version of the model is equipped with ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems), including automatic emergency braking and lane keeping assist, ensuring a safer driving experience and easier parking.

And everyone, especially new drivers, wants a car that reflects their taste and style. That’s why the Opel Corsa YES features a sporty design and comes in exclusive colorways like Eukalyptus Green, Kobalt Blue, and Kiss Red, all contrasted by a black roof – along with exterior-colored design accents. A bold and modern look designed to bring Opel’s full design expertise to young drivers around the world. It’s not only ideal for city driving, thanks to its compact dimensions, but also handles longer trips without sacrificing comfort or style. And this versatility at an affordable price doesn’t come at the cost of innovation: the Opel Corsa YES is equipped with an infotainment system, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, making it easy to connect your smartphone and access maps, music, and messages directly on the car’s screen. In terms of maneuverability, the new model is compact enough for city traffic, yet surprisingly roomy inside – perfect for friends, luggage, or weekend getaways. Parking is also hassle-free thanks to parking sensors that ensure stress-free maneuvering.
The hybrid engine in the Opel Corsa YES combines the efficiency of an electric motor with the versatility of a combustion engine. Thanks to the 6-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, driving is smooth and easy. The car doesn’t require charging as the electric motor recharges itself during deceleration, cutting fuel consumption and emissions by up to 18% compared to the petrol version. Additionally, the Corsa YES can run fully electric during start-up or parking phases, providing a quiet and vibration-free driving experience. The three driving modes – Eco, Normal, and Sport – let you adapt the vehicle to your needs, whether you prioritize efficiency or sportiness. The car’s display shows whether you’re driving in electric mode (blue) or combustion mode (white), enabling optimal energy management.
With its 48V electric motor and electrified transmission, the Opel Corsa YES represents the perfect balance of style, sportiness, and sustainability, reducing emissions and fuel consumption with an efficiency of up to 23 km per liter, making fuel use smarter. The electric version also saves on fuel costs and benefits from road tax exemptions in many regions. The purchasing process is also simple and fast: buyers can configure and order their desired model directly online in just a few clicks. This makes car buying even more convenient, allowing new drivers to focus on what really matters: hitting the road in their first car with style.
