Slush and snow got you down? There’s a new Opel Corsa for that.
For 2015, Opel outfitted the Corsa mini-compact with a slew of winter-beating features to ease the stress of driving in inclement weather. Notably, the 2015 Opel Corsa comes with an optional ThermaTec windshield, which promises to do away with any concern regarding windshield fogging by expediting defrost at the push of a button.
The consistently clear visibility afforded by this optional windshield is complimented by a heated rear window and heated exterior mirrors, to help with defrosting and deicing. An auto-dimming rearview mirror and bi-xenon headlamps further aid driver visibility.
To help keep the driver nice and toasty, the Corsa also has heated seats and a heated steering wheel, like its predecessor. Opel claims that within one minute, both the seats and wheel will be comfortably heated. And then there’s an optional auxiliary heating feature, which allows the Corsa’s driver to activate a routine by remote control or timer, and heat the cabin climate to a comfortable level even before entering the vehicle.
Finally, to keep your commute as smooth and safe as possible, the Corsa comes standard with both electronic stability control, and traction control. These use automated engine and braking intervention to ensure that the 2015 Opel Corsa can keep itself on its planned trajectory around every slushy, slippery corner.
In short, the 2015 Opel Corsa is loaded with effective, time-tested technologies for beating the winter that usually only come at a higher price point. Just about the only thing that Opel doesn’t have a solution for? Envious Americans.

bi-xenon headlamps is history this car class . today use same class led lamps.

No its not, many use only halogen lights and LED for daytime running lights, only Mazda2 and restyled Polo use full LED lights.
Love the LED/Xenon headlamp discussion. Five years ago many said GM was behind because they were not making LED’s standard on new vehicles. I live in one of the highest income areas in the US and when I sit at a light at night and watch the cars go by only about 10% have the white white “modern” headlamps. It will take years to get all to change over and it does not appear that GM is behind the competitors. Of course we can look at specific classes and see one or another in that class has the new ones but overall most classes have not changed over.
But why they do not even use the LED daytime running lights on this car all small cars and Opel still do not offer. doing silly things such anger. and put those ugly side mirror turn signal lights as well, and it would be all the design. Opel test matrix LED lights 20 years ago and talked big, and they are still in use. everyone else is already using even small cars. GM OPEL, and a lot of talk but no deeds.

Come on man.
Matrix lights only uses Audi, and it is premium brand. This lights will be on new Astra K, and Insignia B as first in their class.
Others have full LED lights, but I saw reviews of them and those are not so good. I’m talking about C-segment or compact class in Europe.
On Corsa E you will have LED daytime running lights, and in all other vehicle in the range. On some it is standard, on some not.
Great… Wish we had all of these features in affordable cars.
I hope xenon headlights are never the norm in this country. They blind oncoming traffic. I have to partially shield my eyes each time.
