The Vauxhall Corsa-e represents the brand’s first all-electric supermini, combining familiar Corsa practicality with zero-emission capability. Its blend of usable range and comprehensive equipment makes it an excellent option for those transitioning to electric motoring.
Featuring a 50kWh battery and 136PS electric motor, the Corsa-e offers a practical range of up to 209 miles on a single charge. Rapid charging capability allows up to 80% charge in around 30 minutes, making longer journeys practical. Performance is impressively sprightly, particularly around town where instant torque delivery excels.
Equipment levels are generous, with SE Nav including a 7-inch touchscreen and satellite navigation. Elite Nav adds 17-inch alloy wheels and additional comfort features, while range-topping models feature IntelliLux LED Matrix headlights and enhanced driver assistance systems.
When inspecting a used Corsa-e, verify battery condition through diagnostics and ensure all charging equipment is present and undamaged. Check the operation of regenerative braking and all electronic systems thoroughly.
