EV Channels Review

The Vauxhall Corsa Electric, specifically the pre-facelift 'Ultimate' trim, is revisited to assess its competitiveness against an impending update and a crowded market. While praised for its neat design, solid build quality, comfortable ride for its class, and ease of driving, the review highlights significant drawbacks. The reviewer criticizes the infuriating brakes, a lack of interior flair, and the high price point, especially for the top-trim Ultimate model, which reaches over £37,000. Despite being Britain's best-selling car, the Corsa Electric struggles to justify its cost against larger, better-value alternatives like the MG4, Renault Megane E-Tech, and even its own stablemate, the Peugeot e-208, which offers better dynamics and range for less. The reviewer concludes that while it's a competent car, it doesn't feel special enough for the money and hopes the next generation will offer substantially more.
