FIRST DRIVE - NEW VAUXHALL CORSA ELECTRIC

EV Channels Review

The reviewer revisits the Vauxhall brand with the new Corsa Electric, expressing a nostalgic fondness for older Vauxhall models while acknowledging a recent decline in the brand's appeal. The Corsa Electric is presented as a significant contender in the B-segment, offering an affordable EV option. The "Ultimate" trim is highlighted for its appealing styling, particularly the blacked-out trim and modern design language. Inside, the cabin is found to be comfortable with good driving ergonomics and a decent infotainment system. On the road, the Corsa Electric is praised for its quiet and compliant ride, smooth power delivery, and the convenience of one-pedal driving. While not a performance car, it offers "punchy" acceleration in Sport mode and a confidence-inspiring feel. The reviewer notes Vauxhall's efforts to make the EV more attainable through finance options. Overall, the Corsa Electric is deemed an interesting, compelling, and fun package that has successfully reignited the reviewer's interest in the Vauxhall brand.
