The Opel Corsa offers a range of engine options that appeal to various buyers. It includes petrol engines with outputs ranging from 100 to 156 HP, as well as electric variants boasting a commendable range of up to 405 km. The various transmission options—ranging from manual gearboxes to dual-clutch automatics—ensure that there’s a configuration to suit every driving style. Acceleration is impressive across the board, with the sportier variant achieving 0-100 km/h in just 7.9 seconds.

In contrast, the Toyota Aygo is equipped with a single petrol engine producing a modest 72 HP. While it’s less powerful, the Aygo compensates with fuel efficiency, consuming as little as 4.8 to 4.9 L/100 km. It offers manual and CVT transmission options, but its acceleration time of around 15.5 seconds leaves much to be desired when compared to the Corsa. The Aygo’s top speed is capped at 158 km/h, making it a gentle option for urban commuting.
