Rüsselsheim. The Opel Corsa continues to remain popular with buyers across Europe. According to official data, the supermini with the Blitz was the best-selling car overall in Greece in 2023. New registrations of over 5,800 gave the Corsa a total market share of 4.3 per cent and an impressive segment share of 17.4 percent in the small car segment.

"The Opel Corsa has always come with a convincing package of innovation and affordable state-of-the-art technology. This remains the case even 40 years after the nameplate was launched. The success reflects the excellence of Opel, and we anticipate further impetus for the Opel brand in Greece," said Polychronis Syngelidis, President & CEO Opel Hellas.

The ongoing popularity of the Corsa was the main driver behind Opel's commercial success in Greece in 2023. The brand with the Blitz doubled its overall sales compared to the previous year was the second most popular passenger car brand with a market share of 7.7%.

Earlier this year, Opel already announced that the Corsa has successfully defended its title as the most popular small car in Germany. According to official data published by the Federal Office for Motor Traffic (KBA), the Corsa was the best-selling vehicle in the B segment for the third time in a row in 2023.

Elsewhere, the Vauxhall Corsa remains equally popular in the UK where it was the best-selling supermini for the third year in a row, according to the 2023 new car registration figures published by the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT).

Since its premiere in 1982, well over 14.5 million units of the Corsa have been sold worldwide. Last year, Opel launched the new edition of the bestseller - with the characteristic Opel Vizor brand face, intuitive cockpit design, new Intelli-Lux LED® Matrix Light and numerous other top technologies. In the auto motor und sport readers' choice award "autonis", the Corsa was named "Best New Design of 2023" in the "Small Car" category.
