Entry-level Vauxhall Corsa Yes Edition adds hybrid option and more powerful electric powertrain

The big-battery Vauxhall Corsa Electric now gets a sub-£29k price tag courtesy of the Yes Edition 

The Vauxhall Corsa lost its title of Britain's best-selling supermini last year to the Volkswagen Polo, but Vauxhall is fighting back by announcing new powertrains for the entry-level version of its supermini

The latest Vauxhall Corsa Yes Edition joined the line-up earlier this year, with the most basic petrol model priced from £18,995. Now the Yes Edition is also available in Hybrid guise, powered by a 99bhp 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol engine with electrical assistance and a six-speed automatic gearbox. This powertrain is already offered with other Corsa trim levels, and the Yes Edition Hybrid starts from £21,360, £1,365 less than the Design Hybrid. 

Also new to the range of Yes Edition models is a more powerful pure-electric model. For £28,890, you can get the basic trim level with a 54kWh battery and 154bhp, which gives a range of around 250 miles. This new variant will be sold alongside the existing 50kWh model, which offers 134bhp and about 221 miles of range and starts at £27,495.

Whatever the powertrain, the Corsa Yes Edition comes with 16-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels, rear privacy glass and LED tail-lights. It also has the same styling as more expensive GS-trim models, including a black Griffin logo on the grille, black lettering across the rear, and contrasting black roof and door mirrors.

Arctic White is the standard paint option, but customers can also opt for Carbon Black, or three exclusive colours – Eucalyptus Green, Kiss Red and Cobalt Blue. These brighter hues also bring a colour-matched strip on the dashboard, door inserts and floor mats.

Petrol versions of the Corsa Yes Edition are equipped with a 3.5-inch digital driver’s display, while the EV benefits from a seven-inch unit. However, both feature a 10-inch central touchscreen, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, a heated steering wheel, heated front seats and several driver-assistance systems.

An extra perk for EV customers is Vauxhall’s new ‘Electric All In’ package. This bundles together eight years of comprehensive roadside assistance (including emergency charging assistance), £500 credit towards an Ohme home wallbox charger or to be spent at public chargers, and 10,000 miles’ worth of free home charging if you switch to the Intelligent Octopus GO home energy tariff, which is aimed at electric car drivers.
