Overview

The Opel Corsa Electric 51 kWh (2023-…) is an all-electric front-wheel drive hatchback. It came out in 2023. Brand new, the car starts around €31,490.

The Opel Corsa Electric 51 kWh (2023-…) has a 51 kWh battery pack, allowing it to travel up to 353 km on a single charge. The car has an average efficiency of 13.6 kWh per 100 km (or 7.34 km per kWh) — 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 260 Nm of torque.

This enables a 0 to 100 km/h acceleration in 8.1 seconds (№62 out of 118 ranked positions, among 824 electric vehicles, with some cars sharing positions) and a top speed of 150 km/h.

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 353 km, ranking it №200 out of 334 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 Europe 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 49 km 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 our EV Charging Calculator.

The Opel Corsa Electric comes standard with a 7.4 kW on-board charger. For those seeking quicker AC charging speeds, an optional 11 kW charger is available.

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

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

Length: 4061 mm
Width: 1960 mm (including side mirrors) or 1765 mm (excluding side mirrors)
Height: 1435 mm
Wheelbase: 2538 mm (distance between the center of the front and rear wheels)
Curb weight: 1544 kg (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 267 litres of storage space (№168 out of 192 ranked positions, among 824 electric vehicles, with some cars sharing positions).

Folding down the rear seats expands the total cargo capacity to 1042 litres (№156 out of 185 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.
