OnStar services and wi-fi are free for the first year, whil thee second year of OnStar services, including roadside assistance, but excluding wi-fi is available for £79.
“We do not just offer drivers of larger cars the opportunity of enjoying the latest connectivity and infotainment technology. We are making it available across our entire product portfolio with very attractive offerings,” said Simon Oldfield, Vauxhall’s sales and marketing director. “The new IntelliLink system with smartphone integration available for the Corsa is the perfect example.
