Sharp styling, a modern digital cabin and genuine everyday usability make the Vauxhall Corsa Electric a strong all-round electric hatchback.
Compact enough for town, refined enough for longer journeys and easy to live with day to day, it delivers the simplicity of an EV without making everything feel unfamiliar.
Up to 265 miles on the 51kWh version.
Designed to give useful real-world range without unnecessary bulk.
Fast enough for practical motorway and public charging stops.
Around 20 to 80% using a suitable rapid charger.
We took the Corsa Electric away from the showroom and used it properly. Mixed Kent roads, faster sections, charging stops, everyday driving and a realistic look at what the numbers actually mean.
Based on an off-peak electricity rate of around 7p/kWh.
21.0 kWh added during our test.
With up to 100kW DC rapid charging and an 11kW onboard charger, the Corsa Electric is designed to work just as well for home charging as it does for public rapid charging.
On a suitable rapid charger, Vauxhall quotes around 30 minutes for a 20 to 80% top-up, making longer journeys far easier to plan.
The Corsa Electric keeps things refreshingly straightforward inside. The digital displays are clear, the central touchscreen is neatly integrated and the cabin feels familiar enough that there is very little learning curve.
That matters in an electric car. Rather than making every interaction feel futuristic for the sake of it, the Corsa simply feels like a modern hatchback that happens to be electric.
The Corsa Electric feels equally at home around town or out on faster roads. Compact dimensions make it easy to place, while the instant response from the electric motor gives it the effortless feel that makes EVs so easy to drive.
It does not try to reinvent the small hatchback. It simply makes the familiar Corsa formula quieter, smoother and cheaper to run.
Home charging can make everyday mileage remarkably inexpensive, particularly when using an off-peak tariff.
Smooth acceleration, simple controls and compact dimensions make it particularly easy to get comfortable with.
The official range gives plenty of scope for day-to-day use, while rapid charging helps make longer journeys practical too.

Haynes Brothers Limited is an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No. 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allows Haynes Brothers Limited to act as a credit broker, not a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders, and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.
We are a credit broker and not a lender. We can introduce you to a carefully selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. We act on behalf of the lender for this introduction and not as your agent. We are not impartial, and we are not an independent financial advisor.
Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next most suitable offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure a suitable finance agreement for you that enables you to achieve your financial objectives. If you purchase a vehicle, in the majority of cases, we will receive a commission from your lender for introducing you to them which is either a fixed fee, or a fixed percentage of the amount that you borrow. This may be linked to the vehicle model you purchase.
Different lenders pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement; however, you will be contributing towards the commission paid to us with the interest collected on your repayments. Before we propose you to a potential lender, we will inform you of the likely amount of commission we will receive and seek your consent to receive this commission. The exact amount of commission that we will receive will be confirmed prior to you signing your finance agreement.
All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18s or over. Guarantees may be required.
