VAUXHALL has announced prices for its new Corsa supermini range which goes on sale in October.

The three and five-door hatchback range will be priced from £7,495 and comes with a choice of three petrol engines and three turbodiesels. Trim levels are Expression, Life, Club, SXi and Design.

Although the entry-level version costs more than the model it replaces, certain versions are cheaper than their predecessors, Vauxhall claims.

Standard equipment levels have risen across all trim levels, with the Expression range offering CD player, twin front airbags, body-coloured bumpers, central locking and ‘see-you-home’ headlights.
