Overview

The Opel Corsa Electric 51 kWh (2023-…) is an all-electric front-wheel drive hatchback. It came out in 2023. The car is not available on the US market.

The Opel Corsa Electric 51 kWh (2023-…) has a 51 kWh battery pack, allowing it to travel up to 219 mi on a single charge — ranked №516 out of 824 electric vehicles.

Before 2024, Opel used alternative naming conventions for its electric models. The Opel Corsa Electric was previously called the Opel Corsa-e.

How powerful is it? How fast does it accelerate?

The Opel Corsa Electric 51 kWh (2023-…) is equipped with a powertrain that delivers up to 115 kW (154 hp) of power and 192 lb-ft of torque.

This enables a 0 to 60 mph acceleration in 7.8 seconds (№61 out of 116 ranked positions, among 824 electric vehicles, with some cars sharing positions) and a top speed of 93 mph.

How far can it go on single charge? What is the real-world range?

The estimated real-world range for Opel Corsa Electric 51 kWh (2023-…) is 219 miles, ranking it №147 out of 251 ranked positions. Several conditions can influence this range:

Speed: The battery drains faster at higher speeds.
Temperature: Extreme temperatures can impact range.
Terrain: Range is reduced on hilly or mountainous terrain.
Driving style: Aggressive driving behaviors, such as frequent acceleration and braking, decrease efficiency.
Feature utilization: Climate control and media system usage also affect range.

These figures are approximations, and your actual driving range may vary. When planning trips, consider these factors and be prepared for potential charging stops.

For trip planning assistance, utilize the EV Navigation interactive map.

What charging options are available? How long does it take to charge it?

The Opel Corsa Electric 51 kWh (2023-…) in the USA is equipped with a CCS Type 2 charging port. You can charge it conveniently at home using a standard outlet, or utilize any public AC charging station with the appropriate cable. However, the car's built-in charger (inverter) limits the maximum AC charging speed to 7.4 kW, which translates to roughly 30 miles of range added per hour.

For faster charging, use DC fast-charging stations. The Opel Corsa Electric 51 kWh (2023-…) supports a maximum DC charging rate of 100 kW, but it's important to note that battery temperature and current charge level can affect the actual charging speed you'll experience.

To estimate charging time, rate, and cost, you can use EV Charging Calculator.

How big is it? What are the dimensions (length, width, height)?

Opel Corsa Electric 51 kWh (2023-…) comes in the following dimensions:

Length: 159.9 in
Width: 77.2 in (including side mirrors) or 69.5 in (excluding side mirrors)
Height: 56.5 in
Wheelbase: 99.9 in (distance between the center of the front and rear wheels)
Curb weight: 3404 lbs (weight of the empty car, no people or cargo)

How much cargo space does it offer? Does it have a front trunk?

Behind the rear seats of the Opel Corsa Electric 51 kWh (2023-…), you'll find 9.4 cubic feet of storage space (№136 out of 155 ranked positions, among 824 electric vehicles, with some cars sharing positions).

Folding down the rear seats expands the total cargo capacity to 36.8 cubic feet (№146 out of 173 ranked positions, among 824 electric vehicles, with some cars sharing positions).

The car doesn’t have a “frunk” (front trunk).

Is it suitable for towing? What is the maximum towing capacity?

The car isn’t officially rated for towing.
