Vauxhall has unveiled its Corsa SRi for the UK market. Based on the Opel Corsa SRi, the Vauxhall Corsa SRi — which makes its return after a two-year absense — was first shown in Barcelona this past June. Power for the hatchback — which will be available in 3 and 5 door guises — comes from either a 150 horsepower turbo 1.6L gasoline engine or a 125 horsepower 1.7L diesel.
Vauxhall claims the gas-powered Corsa SRi can accelerate 0-60 in 7.6 seconds and hit a top speed of 130 mph. The diesel version requires 9.3 seconds to reach 60 mph and can top out at 121 mph. The diesel also returns an impressive combined average of 58.9 mpg.

Prices for the Corsa SRi will range from £13,625 to £14,885. There are no plans to import the Vauxhall Corsa SRi’s sister car, the Opel Corsa SRi, to the U.S. under the Saturn brand.
