NEW CORSA EV REVIEW - OPEL / VAUXHALL CORSA-E 2020

EV Channels Review

The Opel Corsa EV (or Vauxhall Corsa-e) is reviewed as a stylish and dynamically competent small electric car, offering a fun driving experience, particularly in Sport mode. The reviewer praises the exterior design, noting its modern and fresh aesthetic, and finds the interior materials well-matched for its class, avoiding a cheap feel. Seating comfort and space for taller drivers are highlighted as positives. However, the technology integration, specifically the virtual cockpit and touchscreen responsiveness, is criticized for not feeling intuitive or up-to-date. Rear passenger access is noted as somewhat challenging for adults. While the stated WLTP range is 330 km, real-world testing suggests a more realistic figure of around 200 km if driven enthusiastically, though more could be achieved in Eco mode. The reviewer concludes that while the car represents a significant step forward for Opel in the EV segment, the driver experience technology could benefit from further refinement.
