Vauxhall has launched a new sporty Corsa model for those who can’t quite stretch to a VXR.

SRi models, available in three and five-door hatchback guises, come with a choice of 150bhp turbocharged 1.6-litre petrol or 125bhp 1.7-litre diesel engines. As well as body styling and 17-inch alloy wheels, the SRis also feature sporty interior trim.

Prices will be announced later this month and deliveries begin in September.
