Improved fuel consumption
 
Each new Corsa ecoFLEX model offers additional benefits for Fleet Decision Makers and the environment. Improvements in fuel consumption will help reduce your fuel costs and lessen your environmental impact. The reduction in CO2 emissions put Corsa ecoFLEX squarely in Band B for VED - thereby qualifying for the second lowest tax disc rate of just £35 per annum - giving whole life cost savings to every fleet.
