Opel Corsa 2023– car dimensions: 4061 mm long, 1765 mm wide and 1435 mm high. Unladen weight is 1,530 kg. Boot space with the seats up is 267 litres.
Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay come standard with a 7-inch or 10-inch touchscreen and digital driver display. Automatic climate control is standard. Cruise control with speed limiter is standard, while adaptive cruise appears on higher trims. Automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection and lane keep assist are standard across the range. Rear parking sensors are typically standard, with front sensors, reversing camera and blind spot warning on higher grades or packages.
Boot space is 267 litres with seats up and 1042 litres with seats folded. The shape is usable for a supermini though the battery removes underfloor storage found on petrol models.
Towing is not approved on the Corsa Electric. Payload sits at 376 kg. The car suits everyday passenger and light cargo use but offers no heavy-duty cooling or reinforced suspension for work duties.
Front sports seats on higher grades feel firm with good side support and plenty of manual adjustment plus optional driver massage. Physical climate controls are easy to use and a heat pump is standard. The cabin stays quiet from the electric drive and acoustic insulation package, though materials stay mostly black and plain. Rear space is tight for adults while an optional fixed panoramic glass roof adds light up front.
Fully electric with 0 g/km CO2
Battery warranty 8 years or 100000 miles/160000 km for 70% capacity
Service intervals after initial check every 2 years or 16000-25000 km
Euro NCAP 4 stars from 2019 test
Standard kit includes AEB with pedestrian detection, lane keep assist, drowsiness alert, six airbags, ESP and hill start assist
The Corsa Electric runs solely on battery power with energy use listed around 14-16 kWh/100 km depending on the 50 or 51 kWh pack. WLTP range reaches up to 405 km on the stronger motor version. A heat pump comes as standard to help cabin heating without big range loss.
Servicing starts with an initial check at one year or low mileage then moves to every two years or 16000-25000 km. EVs need less routine work than petrol cars since there is no oil or exhaust system. The high-voltage battery is covered separately for eight years.
Euro NCAP gave the Corsa four stars in 2019 with solid adult and child scores. Every car gets automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane keep assist, traffic sign recognition, driver drowsiness alert, six airbags, ABS, ESP and hill start assist. Higher grades add blind-spot alert, adaptive cruise and better cameras.
Day-to-day ownership stays simple with remote climate pre-conditioning via the app and regenerative braking that cuts brake wear. Keep the service history complete to protect the battery warranty. No towing is allowed and a tyre repair kit is standard instead of a spare.
