The Peugeot 208 and the Opel Corsa are now the same car underneath. But are there any differences making it worth to choose one or the other?
Peugeot 208 won the European Car of the Year 2020 title. Launched at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show the second generation 208 is available with a petrol or diesel, as well as an electric powertrain.
The sixth generation Opel Corsa is another model produced under the PSA wings. In 2017 the French car giant acquired Opel from GM. This has led to creating of Europe’s second largest car company after the Volkswagen Group. Like the 208, also the Corsa can be ordered with a conventional, or electric powertrain.
I’m usually sceptical about too many similar cars coming out from one group. The PSA already has to clearly separate Peugeot and Citroen, and then the DS. On the other hand, since the Volkswagen Group manages to sell Volkswagen, Seat and Skoda, why shouldn’t the PSA cope with Opel?
This is no ordinary badge engineering. If I didn’t know underneath the Corsa is the same as the 208, it would take me a while to realise it. The Corsa is half a centimeter longer than the 208, and comes in at 406 cm. It’s mainly due to longer overhangs, because the wheelbase is almost identical - the Peugeot’s wheelbase is 2 mm longer, than the Opel’s. It’s 254 cm. But the Corsa is 2 cm wider at 176.5 cm, and 5 mm higher at 143.5 cm.

I watched the integral launch of the peugeot, and i fell in love, i like those crazy interior, but i prefer the exterior elegance(word pan)and "stillness" of the corsa; then i had to buy one of this two, and (at least here in italy) you cant put an automatic air conditioning (not even as optional) on the 75cv models of the 208; instead i could buy a 75cv corsa with wathever i wanted in, so yesterday i signed the contract and im waiting for the delivery of my new Corsa Elegance!!!

I like the 208, but I suspect here in Britain the Opel (sold as Vauxhall) might be a bit cheaper and is a very smart thing indeed. The 208 is a designer's dream, I know, but I actually like the more conservative interior design of the Opel.

I reviewed the Peugeot 208 in my channel too! I must say I liked its design, plus Peugeot has a long history with small cars so the 208 was not surprisingly bad! But I am not a fan of the small steering wheel, and the interior seems too stylish than practical. But its still a good car nonetheless!

@BANKO007 3 года назад

@alliejr 4 года назад

Great video (I do not recall you ever making a poor video)! I love to see reviews of cars, especially small cars, that are unavailable in North America. I’m surprised that you think that this pair do not look like “badge engineered” twins. To me, one looks like the mid-cycle refresh of the other. Perhaps your outlook is influenced by your impression that each model has a completely different driving character. I think I would choose the Citroen for style and comfort; the Opel looks too much like every Chevy we get in the states.

@MarekDrives 4 года назад

To me badge engineering is something like our Opel Insignia and your Buick Regal. That's basically the same car with a different badge on the hood. The Corsa and the 208 differ significantly in terms of design and somewhat in terms of handling.

Because I am a little short I really want a good armrest and the 208's is higher then the Corsa's however not sure if its high enough. I really wonder why car reviewers never talk about it. I have a Civic with a great armrest whenever I drive our old I30 I miss the feeling of the armrest. Idk maybe its just me but I care a lot about it :)

@cubular3000 4 года назад

I just cannot understand why some manufacturers can't be arsed to spray-paint or pad the boot floor (and bonnet underside). How many freaking cents does it save them? Maybe these cars are budget runabouts in Europe, but in some markets like Singapore where I come from, Continental cars are always sold at a premium vs. Asian ones and this is especially true of PSA models. And the reasons to choose Continental makes, especially French cars, are evaporating fast as the likes of Toyota already have the lead in hybrid efficiency and build quality and are quickly catching up in interior and ride quality. Come on, PSA, you can do better than this. Sorry for the rant, Marek and all, great video as usual.

If you compare the 2020 Opel Corsa with the 2020 Chevrolet Onyx, you can see a lot of similarities in the inside design and even the outside design. It is quite normal, the Russelsheim designers first worked on the Onyx (which was to be produced under Opel Corsa name) but in the meantime, PSA bought Opel, the Onyx was refused by the new owner who wanted to rationalize his productions and the same designers were asked to design a new Corsa. The former design belongs to GM and was to be produced in Brazil. It is not surprising that visually these two cars look like family, they were designed in the same design center. The PSA platform is better than the GM platform.

The issues you had with the 208 road handling is 100% tire related. Bad tires will make the best car feel unpredictable, not just less grippy. The Corsa is way too stiff, I had ride in the back on a fairly smooth road and it was awfully uncomfortable. For a city car, comfort is the priority imho.

i much prefer the look of the corsa

@MMontes98 3 года назад

It is a very fun and sporty design indeed! But it's a shame Opel (and I mean Peugeot who is the chief here) made it clearly "cheaper" in the interior of the car so people would prefer the 208 before the Corsa.

Cool

208 with Corsa interior. It's like PSA designed the cars to have compromises from the get go

I like Opel but I would choose 208 for just stupid reason. 311lt boot capacity over 309 for Opel

prefer corsa because more conservative

I love my Corsa, it's very much a big step forward both inside and out over previous models in my opinion. Perhaps, instead of trying to compare these 2 great cars, maybe what reviews like this should be asking is, why does the 208 "still" look pretty much the same!

@stateless4255 3 года назад

the old 208 and the new one are not alike, the design of the new 208 is different both outside and inside. How can you say that? Maybe at your age everything’s going down, starting with the vision.

@@stateless4255 It's you that needs glasses pal, the only difference are the side panels, some fancy lighting and a slightly modernised interior 😂😂😂

@stateless4255 3 года назад

@@RoaryUK The new 208 is built on the PSA Group's new CMP platform. It has nothing to do with the platform of the previous generation. When you don’t know what you’re talking about, it’s better to keep quiet than ridiculous.

@RoaryUK 3 года назад

@@stateless4255 And this just goes to show you don't know what you're talking about, because it in fact has quite a lot to do with the previous platform, and isn't even exclusive to the 208.

The 208 is a nicer looking car & the interior loos far nicer & superior but that small steering wheel is a no.

Head says Opel.... heart says Peugeot. Not much in it - but if I bought Opel, would probably regret I didn’t go for it and get the stylish 208. Even though the interior is a little too driving console/computer gamey. Think the electric versions are absolute winners!

Which one would you choose Marek?

Preferably the Clio, but out of these two I think I liked the Corsa better.

@AliHijazi 3 года назад

@@MarekDrives do you think there will be sports versions of these cars? Like Corsa GSI, Peugeot GTI? the Clio will definitely have an RS version you know those hot hatches

@MarekDrives 3 года назад

@@AliHijazi I don't think they made the final decision yet. There's talk of either a fully electric or a PHEV hot hatch. I think they just presented the 508 PHEV sporty variant, so there's definitely some demand for this type of car.
