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.
Great review as always! 👌
What a brilliant entertaining and professional presentation
1. We've all ran out of money 😓
Good review Howard, nice little car
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.

Very useful - which tariff are you on please and do you know the KWH price? This will be v helpful for others.
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.
Nice little car , could of done with a hoover and dusting inside though. With diesel prices getting stupid this would be a good first step in electric cars.

Very interesting point. Thank you Mr Flint.
Not sure about your charging costs. At 45 kwh it should e about £3 to fill overnight
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.

I did expect Newcastle to have gone full lez I have to say, but no it wasn’t on the lez list.
petrol one is ace
ultimate has leather and alcantara!! with a petrol engine i have one and im saving 5 quid a month on all costs probably more now how dear electrics become!!
Why does it called Vauxhall in UK? The official name is Opel in all of Europe.
i do 18000 a year as proven by the last five cars i have leased¬¬
got to be careful saying lez you'll get youtubed!
if ur tall rear seats are only good for baby seats or amputees!!
Who the hell would pay to lease a car lol. I just bought a corsa e, 2 years old, under 10k miles for 15,000. I can't tell the difference between this and brand new and the car is mine.
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.
130 bhp petrol is just as fast top speed is much faster! with the petrol

Sometimes you can get a better deal by going ‘In Stock’. Have a look at the Vauxhall Corsa deals we have available with in stock delivery slots - buff.ly/3sGv7EI
Are we going to stop saying engine and calling it the American version motor well I suppose we don’t say electric engine 😜
Realistically the range is only 130 miles.

In the middle of winter, yes. I've averaged 4.3 miles per kwh over my last 1000 miles, pretty close to 190 miles per charge.

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.
NO!!!!
