The Corsa B is still available in some countries. In Argentina and Uruguay it is offered as the Corsa Classic , in Brazil as the Classic and in Chile as the Corsa . While it was sold in Argentina and Chile with hatchbacks and notchbacks, in Uruguay it is sold with notchbacks and station wagons called Corsa Wagon . In Brazil it was available in all body styles.

An offshoot of the Corsa B with a modified front end is the Chevrolet Chevy , which was produced from 2004 to 2012 and offered in Colombia and Mexico with a hatchback and notchback. In Mexico, at the end of production, a special model was offered under the name "Joy".
