Vauxhall Corsa SUV

Vauxhall shocks with rough, tough 4x4 version of the Corsa

Take a look at Vauxhall's MINI Crossman rival! These are the best spy shots yet of the Luton-based firm's new small 4x4, which we've snapped undergoing testing in the Arctic Circle.

Based on the Corsa but with a raised ride height and a four-wheel drive system, the new model will go into battle with the Crossman and Skoda's Yeti. As you can see from the wheelbase on this Meriva-based prototype the new model will be about the same size as the supemini MPV.

Entering a totally new market for Vauxhall, the Corsa SUV will be powered by a wide range of small capacity turbocharged petrol and diesel engines, and will be available in both front-wheel drive and 4x4 form.

Expect styling to be influenced by the new Meriva but with muscular wheelarches and traditional SUV cues such as roof rails and plastic protective bumpers. Although that car will go on sale in early 2010, the Corsa SUV is still some way off – don't expect a worldwide debut until 2011 at the earliest.
