Vauxhall Corsa E Review. Should you get one or not?

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

The Vauxhall Corsa E or Opel Corsa E depending on where you live, is a compact electric car that offers a decent range, is surprisingly spacious and affordable. But what do consumers need to know about it before biting the bullet? Is the 136hp 100kW electric drivetrain worth considering over a petrol-powered model? Howard Ritchie borrowed our "Power Orange" Corsa E Elite Nav Premium for a week to put it through its paces.
Is the Corsa E’s 222-mile range a possibility in the real world? What are the actual costs of charging the Corsa E? Is it as refined and quiet as more expensive EVs? IS the Vauxhall Corsa E interior big enough for your needs? He answers all this and more in our Corsa E consumer review.

    QUIZ: WHAT ARE YOUR ANNUAL MILES, DOES AN EV WORK FOR YOU?

    Have had one of these for about 2 months now and can't fault it. My journeys are mainly local and economy/range is excellent. On motorway journeys range does drop, especially if using lights, heater, wipers etc but still ok and plenty of fast charging points available, have a coffee and 30 mins later back to full charge.

    My wife has had one for a year. Costs £3.75 to fill up using cheap rate at night so about 2p per mile, and the first annual service was £43.

    I used to have a Vauxhall Viva as a company car. Mind you, that was some 43 years ago. A 2 door coupé no less. I can't recall the car ever whining, but I do remember that the car squeaked a bit when it was bouncing whilst parked up at some remote location at night. Remember. I was 18 then and full of testosterone that needed to be released with a young lady present 🤔😶😲 That aside. Good review. I thought it was going to be a Corsa eeeww. But delighted to say it wasn't. Good little car. Great reviewer.

    Was that not an Elite you were pointing to the seats? Was that not leather at the side of the seats? Plasticy leather. The dash does have various screen choices as you select with the stalk. KISS. Never had my energy screen able to show talk green columns. 8,000 miles then at 16,000 miles or 2 years for a Corsa electric service because Vauxhall are clueless. By 2 years the rear discs might need replaced as mine did. Rotten with rust. Steering light in D, heavy in Eco and nicely weighted in Sport.

    No, as it's electric. Much touted to be the alternative for ICE cars, but as we stand to date they're not in various ways. Many improvements in the cars and infrastructure need to be pushed through first.

    Motorway driving at 70mph does reduce the range considerably but keep the speed down to 60 or even 50 and you get much closer to the stated range. Typical daily urban driving gets about 190 miles.

    @@tonyhall1040 Actually in the Middle or any part of a cold Scottish winter the range can be 110 miles. As i know over 2 winters. 135 miles motorway miles in mid teens temps, and not great in temps into the 20's. 3.5 miles per kWh usual, 3.1 most common, and 2.1 winter.
