Vauxhall Corsa Griffin limited edition launched

To celebrate the Corsa’s twenty-fifth anniversary, Vauxhall has devised a special version of the hatchback. The Griffin – which is available in three- and five-door guises – gets its name from the mythical creature that appears on the brand’s emblem.

Regardless of the main bodywork colour chosen, the roof, door mirror caps and front grille bar all have a black finish. Rear privacy glass, gloss black 16” alloy wheels and some unique badges complete the exterior look.

As well as a couple of Griffin-themed floor mats, the interior boasts plenty of equipment. Standard items include automatic lights and wipers, satellite navigation, heated front seats and a heated leather-trimmed steering wheel.

Every Corsa Griffin is powered by a 1.4 litre petrol engine that can be specified with either 74 bhp (55 kW / 75 PS) or 88 bhp (66 kW / 90 PS).

Planned production volume hasn’t been disclosed, but dealers are accepting orders now. Prices start at £11,695.

Performance might not be scintillating - the 0-62 mph (100 km/h) sprint takes 12.5 seconds and maximum speed is 108 mph (173 km/h) - but the TwinAir’s trump card is efficiency. Carbon dioxide emissions are only 98 g/km, a level that brings numerous benefits for UK drivers including zero road tax, a full discount on the London Congestion Charge and qualification for the lowest company car benefit-in-kind rate. Fuel economy is also decent and, according to the official figures, a TwinAir-powered MiTo will manage 67.3 mpg (4.2 l/100km) on the combined cycle. Impressive maybe, but still some way off the 78.5 mpg (3.6 l/100km) of the existing 1.3 JTDM-2 diesel MiTo. However, any
