The vauxhall Corsa-e is an ⚡️electric ⚡️ version of one of Britain's best selling cars. But does it work as a used buy? 🤔
Whichever trim you choose, the Corsa-e falls short of being truly sporty to drive, despite its zippy performance. It leans more through corners than a petrol-powered Corsa – a side-effect of lugging around the extra weight of its 50kWh battery. The steering has been given a weightier feel than the non-electric version, but it's still rather vague. The Peugeot e-208 is more fun through corners, with sharper and more accurate steering.
The ride of the Corsa-e edges towards the firm side, and the car feels a little fidgety over abrasive surfaces. Unlike the more supple e-208, it struggles to take the sting out of sharper intrusions, such as potholes and expansion joints. That said, its ride never becomes outright uncomfortable. While this is a small car, even tall drivers should find enough space up front. Head and leg room are good, and the interior is wide enough to not risk an elbow fight between front-seat occupants.
In the back, meanwhile, there’s enough space for children and those of modest stature, but a pair of larger adults won't want to spend too long in the back. To add a third would be a real squeeze, although the middle seat is at least softly cushioned. Every Corsa-e has five doors, so access to the rear seats is no problem.
The Corsa-e doesn’t compromise on interior or boot space compared with its petrol-powered stablemate, even though it has to accommodate a sizeable battery. The only concessions are that it can’t carry a spare wheel.
