Our opinion on the Vauxhall Corsa Electric

Renaming the Vauxhall Corsa Electric from Corsa-e was perhaps a necessary step to better differentiate this electric car from the rest of the Corsa range, because in a number of ways, you can argue that the Corsa Electric is better than the original, given its additional refinement and perky performance compared with the regular Corsa.

Certain buyers will appreciate how ‘normal’ it looks and feels – ideal for anyone nervous about driving an EV for the first time. Others will be charmed by how easy it is to drive, the real-world range of more than 200 miles, and its nippy performance. Pricing has been adjusted numerous times to bring the Corsa Electric more into line with a raft of newer supermini-sized electric rivals, as well as additional trim levels to bolster the level of value it offers.

About the Vauxhall Corsa Electric

The Vauxhall Corsa is one of Britain’s motoring institutions, and the latest version of the best-selling supermini is the most significant yet, with the sixth-generation Corsa sharing its platform with the Peugeot 208 and a whole host of other Stellantis cars. Like its French sibling, it’s also available as an all-electric car, with the Corsa Electric starting at around £27,500 for the 50kWh Yes trim, rising to just under £29,000 for the longer range 51kWh version with the more powerful 154bhp electric motor. The top-of-the-range Ultimate peaks at around £34,500, or nearly £500 above where its bigger Vauxhall Astra Electric sibling starts.

While the Peugeot E-208 has kept its name after its facelift, the Vauxhall equivalent has gone from being called Corsa-e at launch to Corsa Electric after its refresh. That’s hardly imaginative, but it does drive home that this is powered by volts rather than fossil fuels.

Nothing here should scare off buyers new to electric-powered cars, because the Corsa Electric looks almost identical to the regular petrol-powered Corsa. We’re well acquainted with the Corsa Electric’s 50kWh battery pack and 134bhp electric motor, because it’s used in various other zero-emissions SUVs, vans and people carriers built by other brands in the Stellantis group, including Citroen, DS, Fiat, Jeep, and Peugeot. A more powerful 154bhp electric motor is also available with a larger capacity 51kWh battery version. It provides an uptick in both range and efficiency.

Customers can pick from four trim levels: Design, Yes, GS, and Ultimate. Design trim includes LED lights, 16-inch wheels, rear parking sensors, climate control and a 10.0-inch infotainment touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Then there’s the sportier-looking Yes model, which comes with everything a Design trim has, but adds heated front seats and steering wheel, rear privacy glass, and a vehicle-to-load (V2L) function on the 51kWh version. Despite all these extras, it costs significantly less than Design trim to buy. The You trim is available in five exterior colours, but only one (Carbon black) is free.

GS trim adds larger 17-inch alloy wheels, front and rear parking sensors with a panoramic reversing camera, sat-nav, blind spot monitoring, wireless phone charging, and keyless entry and start. Top-of-the-range Ultimate cars are fitted with Matrix LED headlights, adaptive cruise control, driver’s seat massage, and a lane positioning aid.

Electric motor, drive and performance

The Vauxhall Corsa Electric feels agile and easy to drive, but only sport mode unleashes the electric motor’s full output
Vauxhall Corsa Electric full width front

Pros

Cons

  • Smooth and instant accelerator response (in Sport or Normal mode) makes the Corsa Electric feel at home in the city
  • The electric is the quickest Corsa you can currently buy
  • You have to engage Sport mode to ‘unleash’ the headline power figure
  • A bit of wind noise at higher speeds
  • Not as entertaining to drive as the rear wheel drive MG4

The Corsa Electric uses a single electric motor to drive the front wheels, much like the regular petrol Corsa. Both power outputs feel similarly nippy around town due to having a responsive accelerator pedal, which is typical of an EV. The near-instant torque from the electric motor makes the 0-30mph dash very swift despite the 1544kg kerbweight. 

It’s a fine car around town, with light and reasonably precise steering helping to boost agility in built-up areas and around roundabouts, the typical roads this car will spend its life on. Grip is also decent, and thanks to the heavy battery pack keeping the weight low in the car, the Corsa Electric doesn’t lean too much in the bends and doesn’t feel out of place on a twisty country road. It’s safe and predictable rather than outright fun. For that, you’ll need to go for an MG4, because its rear-wheel-drive setup and extra power afford much more adjustability to the driving experience.

The ride is smooth enough for the most part. The extra weight and slightly stiffer suspension compared with the normal petrol and hybrid Corsa models means it starts to feel a little lumpy over poor road surfaces. On the motorway, the Corsa Electric cruises with relatively low levels of road noise. There is a little bit of wind noise over the chunky door mirrors and some electric motor whine, though. 

The Corsa Electric’s two-stage regenerative braking system works well, with the ‘B’ setting providing a decent amount of stopping power when you lift off the throttle. It’s more intuitive than it sounds, and with enough anticipation, you can slow enough for roundabouts without needing to use the brakes.

0-62mph acceleration and top speed

With the electric Corsa, you can choose between two power outputs, ranging from 134bhp to 154bhp. We say that, but the power output does vary depending on which drive mode you’re in as a way of boosting your efficiency and overall driving range. For example, if you’re in the 134bhp version and stick with the car’s default Normal mode, you have 108bhp on tap; only when you toggle the selector switch into Sport do you get the car’s full 134bhp. Conversely, switch to Eco, and you’re restricted to 81bhp and have a much softer response to throttle pedal inputs in order to eek out a few more miles for every kilowatt of electricity you use.

According to Vauxhall, when Sport mode is engaged, both the 134bhp and 154bhp versions of the Corsa Electric will do 0-62mph in 8.2 seconds. That’s very nippy for a supermini, but the entry-level MG4 is quicker still, managing the same 0-62mph dash in 7.7 seconds, while the 148bhp version of the Renault 5 completes the same acceleration run in 7.9 seconds.

The strong surge of acceleration in the Corsa Electric starts to tail off once you get up to motorway speeds, but you’ll find that’s the case in most of the electric Corsa’s rivals. 

“The Corsa Electric isn’t quite as agile as its petrol-powered counterparts, and the light steering still doesn’t offer much in the way of precision or feedback. On the other hand, its ride is a little less bouncy at speed.” – Alex Ingram, Chief reviewer

Range, charging and running costs

The Vauxhall Corsa Electric should be quite efficient, and company car tax will be minimal; depreciation is steep
Vauxhall Corsa Electric plugged in

Pros

Cons

  • Entry-level versions provide a competitive electric range
  • Affordable pricing helps to avoid the luxury car tax surcharge
  • Steep depreciation
  • Not as affordable to insure as the Renault 5
  • Rivals like the MG4 charge faster on a DC rapid charger

Electric range, battery life and charge time

This is where you’d hope the Corsa Electric scores well, and in many respects, it does. The chunky 50kWh (47kWh usable) battery under the floor isn’t bad in a car of this size and packs enough juice for an official range of 221 miles – about the same as an entry-level MG4 offers. 

It’s worth noting that the slightly larger 51kWh (48kWh usable) battery boosts the electric supermini’s official WLTP range up to 266 miles in Design trim, although that can’t match the Extended Range MG4 with its much larger 77kWh (74.4kWh usable) battery and up to 323 miles of range.

As far as rapid charging goes, the Corsa Electric’s 100kW maximum charging speed is somewhere around the middle of the pack – certainly better than the 50kW the Fiat 500 maxes out at, but not quite as fast as the 150kW you can reach in the MG4. Both the 50 and 51kWh models have the same quoted charge times, so a 10-80% top-up from a suitably fast rapid charger will take 30 minutes, while a standard 7.4kW home wallbox will take just under eight hours to fully recharge each battery pack from flat.

Those who are tech-savvy can get somewhat of a bargain with the 50kWh Yes trim Corsa, which starts at around £27,500. That saves around £1,500 (at the time of writing) compared with the Design trim, which starts at just over £29,000. Even with the discount, that’s still about £4.5k more expensive than our preferred 99bhp 1.2 petrol Corsa in mid-range GS trim. Thankfully, the electric version is in a lower Benefit-in-Kind (BiK) company car tax rate and avoids the luxury car tax penalty for models costing over £40,000 when new. Like all EVs, the Corsa Electric is no longer exempt from VED road tax, but you can still avoid playing ULEZ, at least until December 2025.

The Corsa Electric’s insurance ratings range from group 26 to group 30 (the latter, oddly, being the cheapest Yes trim, while the former is for the priciest 51kWh version in Ultimate trim) are similar to the MG4, which also starts in group 27 – although the hottest 435bhp XPOWER version does fall into group 40.

Both are a lot higher than the Renault 5, which starts in group 18 and only goes as high as group 22. 

The Corsa Electric is predicted to shed its value at quite an alarming rate. It’ll only retain between 31 to 35 per cent of its value over three years and 36,000 miles, with the best being the 50kWh Yes trim, and the worst being the 51kWh GS model. Both the BYD Dolphin and Renault 5 do much better, with the 5 maintaining around 50 per cent of its value over the same period, while the Dolphin maintains around 52 per cent of its original value.

Longer PCP deals have been created for those looking to buy on finance to help soften the blow of this steep depreciation curve, but that’s still quite a large drop in value to have to take on the chin.

Interior, design and technology

The interior of the Vauxhall Corsa Electric is straightforward and has good levels of tech
Vauxhall Corsa Electric dashboard

Pros

Cons

  • We appreciate that physical buttons and dials remain for the climate control system
  • The Corsa Electric will appeal to those who don’t want an EV that stands out against the regular petrol version
  • Looks a little dull inside
  • The infotainment system can be slow to respond to inputs

 

There isn’t much visual difference between the petrol Corsa and the Corsa Electric. One has an exhaust pipe, and the other has a plug socket under the fuel filler flap and a small ‘e’ badge on the tailgate – ideal for those not keen on standing out. 

The straightforward interior layout of the Corsa Electric gives you little clue as to the car’s powertrain. The only giveaway is that a seven-inch digital driver’s display replaces the conventional dials used in other Corsa models. Some will like how simple the cabin is, but in our opinion, it’s a shame there’s not at least a little more flair, something the E-208, which the Corsa Electric shares its platform with, has in spades. 

Sat-nav, stereo and infotainment

As standard, you get a 10-inch touchscreen packed with features, but it can sometimes feel a bit slow to respond. It is fairly straightforward to navigate, making it easier to live with than the rather fiddly menu layout used in the MG4. However, it’s no match for the Google-based infotainment system used by the Renault 5, which has a much clearer layout, speedier response times, and the ability to use Google’s voice recognition software to program in navigation destinations.

All Corsa Electric trim levels have Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone connectivity. The mid-tier GS adds a satellite navigation system and a wireless smartphone charging pad. A six-speaker sound system is standard across the range and cannot be upgraded.

You can view your remaining range, schedule charging times, and remotely precondition the cabin temperature via an app.

“There are five colours to choose from on Yes trim, and six with the rest of the Corsa Electric range. Carbon black is the free one, which is a little disappointing when its Peugeot E-208 counterpart is available for free in a vibrant yellow.” – Max Adams, Online reviews editor

Boot space & practicality

The Vauxhall Corsa Electric is comfortable and has a decent boot; rear seat space is tight

Pros

Cons

  • The Corsa Electric isn’t significantly impacted in terms of practicality despite a hefty battery pack
  • There’s plenty of space up front for two adults
  • The driving position has enough adjustment to find a comfortable position
  • Boot capacity is okay, but isn’t as generous as other supermini rivals
  • Rear seat space is a squeeze for adults
  • The glovebox is practically only suitable for the storage of a single glove

The regular Vauxhall Corsa has been designed to accommodate an electric variant from the outset, so there’s little penalty in terms of cabin or boot space compared with the petrol-powered model.

Comfort levels are good, with plenty of seat and wheel adjustment and well-shaped seats. Visibility is obstructed by thick roof pillars and a small back window, which is why opting for mid-range GS is likely a good idea, because this trim comes with front and rear parking sensors, and a reversing camera.

There are plenty of places to stash everyday items like phones and keys, and the door bins are big enough for bottles. The glove box is just as small as it is in the Peugeot E-208, which is a bit annoying if you want to keep valuables out of sight.

There’s seating for five in the Corsa Electric, although adults will have a much easier time in the front than in the back.

Cabin space is unchanged from the regular Corsa despite the need to stash batteries within the same footprint. That’s good news for those sitting in the front, where the regular Corsa is considered to be pretty spacious. It’s just a shame that taller people in the rear will still find themselves a little more cramped than they would be in an MG4 or BYD Dolphin.

As per the regular petrol Corsa, the rear door opening is small and awkwardly shaped for taller people to get in, which will also make it trickier for parents to put children in their car seats. Two ISOFIX points are mounted on the outer positions of the rear seats, but the Corsa Electric misses out on the additional child seat mounting point that the Renault 5 has on the front passenger seat, making that rival more flexible for families.

Dimensions and size

The Corsa Electric is exactly the same size as the regular combustion-powered Corsa, which means it’s 4,060mm long, 1,765mm wide and 1,433mm tall.

For comparison, the MG4 is 227mm longer, 71mm wider, and 71mm taller.

Dimensions
Length4,060mm
Width1,745mm (1,960mm inc mirrors)
Height1,433mm
Number of seats5 seats
Boot space 267-1,081 litres

Boot space

The only notable area where the Corsa Electric differs from its petrol counterpart is that it doesn’t have underfloor storage like the petrol Corsa, reducing its total boot capacity from 309 to 267 litres.

Nevertheless, the Corsa Electric still trumps the Fiat 500 electric and MINI Cooper for luggage capacity. The larger MG4 has a negligible 22 litres of additional boot space on the Vauxhall, while the Renault 5 offers nearly 60 litres of additional storage. Few can beat the BYD Dolphin, which has an extra 76 litres of space.

Fold the rear seats down, and you’re left with 1,081 litres of space to play with, just slightly less than the 1,118 litres in the regular Corsa.

“The lack of under boot floor storage means there isn’t anywhere to keep your charging cables beside a bag rolling around the boot floor.” – Max Adams, Online reviews editor

Reliability and safety

The Vauxhall Corsa Electric can’t match rivals for safety and its Driver Power score is disappointing
Vauxhall Corsa Electric front corner static

Pros

Cons

  • Comes with all the safety assistance technology you’d expect of a supermini-sized car
  • Long intervals between trips to the dealer for servicing
  • Only gets a four-star Euro NCAP safety rating where rivals get full marks
  • Vauxhall’s disappointing Driver Power score
  • Manufacturer’s warranty isn’t as long as rivals

While the Corsa Electric didn’t feature in the most recent 2024 Driver Power owner satisfaction survey, the Vauxhall brand came in a worrying 26th place out of 32 manufacturers – two places lower than the previous 2023 result. Owners liked the low running costs, but didn't have a lot to say about other areas. That's a shame because sibling Peugeot came in sixth, while Citroen did even better, and finished in fifth in the same survey.

There are plenty of standard safety features on board, from driver, passenger, side, and curtain airbags, to preventative systems like automatic emergency braking (AEB), brake assist, forward collision alert and speed sign recognition to help keep you out of trouble in the first place. However, the four-star Euro NCAP crash-test rating (out of a maximum of five) the Corsa received in 2019 is a little disappointing compared to its competition. Its score was penalised due to concerns raised with the rear head restraints and their protection level against whiplash. If safety is your primary concern, then look at newer rivals such as the BYD Dolphin and MG4, which have both been tested under the latest and most stringent testing criteria and received a maximum five-star rating.

Key standard safety featuresEuro NCAP safety ratings
  • Autonomous emergency braking (AEB)
  • High beam assistance
  • Lane departure warning
  • Lane keep assistance
  • Road sign recognition
  • Euro NCAP safety rating - Four stars (2019) 
  • Adult occupant protection - 84%
  • Child occupant protection - 86%
  • Vulnerable road user protection - 66%
  • Safety assist - 69%

Buying and owning

Best buy: Vauxhall Corsa Electric Yes 134bhp 50kWh

Of the four trim levels available, it is the entry-level Yes that makes the most sense financially. It’s usefully cheaper than Design trim, yet it comes with the added benefit of heated front seats and steering wheel. We’d also recommend the 134bhp, 50kWh version over the pricier 51kWh car with 154bhp. The less expensive version feels similarly nippy in urban driving and still provides a decent driving range for the money.

Like every new Vauxhall, the Corsa Electric gets a fairly standard three-year/60,000-mile warranty, which is fairly typical for the class, but falls somewhat shy of the four-year/100,000-mile manufacturer's warranty Renault offers for its electric cars, while MG provides a seven-year/80,000-mile policy.

Every Corsa Electric has a separate eight-year or 100,000-mile battery warranty. If the battery’s usable capacity drops below 70% during that time, Vauxhall will replace it for free.

The Corsa Electric needs an initial service after one year or 8,000 miles, whichever comes soonest, then it’ll need to be serviced every two years or 16,000 miles from that point onwards. That gives electric owners a distinct advantage, as the petrol Corsas require maintenance every 12 months, which inevitably raises your running costs – even with a service plan.

Vauxhall Corsa Electric alternatives

There’s no shortage of competition in the small electric car segment, including the Peugeot E-208 mentioned earlier, which has a more premium feel and significantly sharper looks than the Corsa Electric. And let’s not forget that the E-208 offers just as much range.

​Meanwhile, the Fiat 500 and MINI Cooper bring funky, retro-inspired looks and some slick infotainment systems to the proceedings, though being smaller city cars, neither of them can quite match the Corsa Electric’s range or practicality. It’s a similar story with the distinctive-looking Ora 03 (formally known as the Funky Cat) hatchback, which might be better for rear seat room, but has very limited boot space. We also found the 03 lacked a little sophistication in terms of its driving experience.

However, the MG4 and Renault 5 are the Corsa Electric’s strongest rivals. Recent pricing changes mean that while in Yes trim, the Corsa Electric costs less, it can't match the sub-£ 23,000 price of the entry-level Renault 5. Arguably, the 52kWh Comfort Range 5 is a closer rival to the Corsa Electric, but the Renault still manages to undercut the Vauxhall, even though the 5 is quicker, and in Techno trim, comes with useful equipment like a heat pump, adaptive cruise control, a reversing camera, sat-nav, and wireless phone charging as standard.

The MG4 has a broader range of battery capacity options, which means you can get a much larger battery in an MG4 with greater range for similar money or less, with the 281-mile Long Range SE MG4 and its 64kWh coming in at around £1,000 less than the 266-mile 51kWh Corsa Electric Design. Whether you like or loathe the looks of the MG4 is up to you, but in terms of value for money, it’s got the Vauxhall licked.

Then there’s the BYD Dolphin, which isn’t the most exciting to drive, but it is very well-specified, and its MPV-style body gives it greater practicality than the Corsa Electric.
