Video Summary
Here's the summary:The Opel Corsa-e is now available in a Long Range version, representing a facelift of the sixth generation. The battery, located in the car's bottom, has increased, with a net capacity of just under 50 kWh. It has a new electric motor with 156 horsepower instead of 136, with 260 Newton meters. The zero to 100 km/h time has fallen from 8.7 to 8.1 seconds.
Ranging anxiety is a thing of the past for this new model. The front of the car has been updated with a "visor" design inspired by the Opel Manta from the late 70s. The doors are unchanged. Space is adequate. The luggage room is approximately 300 liters.
There is sufficient space in the back seat, but only barely. Headroom is also adequate. There is a new “Graphic Gray” color. The car has a 10-inch central screen, which is not very fast. The climate settings are readily accessible outside the screen. An 11 kW AC charging capacity and 100 kW DC charging is available, though in 2023, this isn't notably impressive.
On normal driving mode the vehicle only uses 109 HP.
The stated range is 405 km. During highway driving, the consumption was around 16 kWh per 100 km. This review mentions the cost, compared to competitors.
The reviewer states there are better and worse qualities to this car, as it is "OK", but he does not feel particularly passionate about it. There are several cheaper Chinese models on the market, like the MG4, BYD Dolphin, and Renault Zoe.
