An all-new chassis will be combined with new engines optimized for low-end torque to achieve low fuel consumption. Technical innovations will include the Front Camera System and Adaptive Front Lighting (AFL) as well as practical features inspired by systems like the Corsa’s FlexFix integrated carrier.
