Video Summary
Here is a summary of the YouTube video review:- The Corsa-e has a decent but unglamorous design, especially when compared to other electric models like the Peugeot e-208 or Honda e.
- The starting price is approximately £25,000 after a £2,500 government grant.
- A used one can be found around £22,000.
- The electric car can go 209 miles with its 50-kilowatt-hour battery pack.
- The battery charges from 15% to 80% in 30 minutes with a 100kW charger.
- The interior is just as uninspiring and bland as the gas model.
- Interior features such as leather and hard plastics do not seem worth the hefty price tag.
- There is very little boot space, and limited underfloor storage.
- Rear seats are spacious enough for two six-foot passengers.
- There is just one USB port in the entire car.
- Physical heating and air conditioning controls require you to use an on-screen function to select the vent direction.
- The vehicle is equipped with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
- The steering is light which makes the car very maneuverable.
- There are three modes: ECO, NORMAL, and SPORT.
- The electric motor is quicker than gas variants of the Corsa.
- The steering in Sport mode is unnaturally stiff.
- The suspension is okay but not as good as that in the gas models, as it had to be stiffened.
- Braking requires pressing the pedal hard to engage the physical brakes, so you must anticipate stops when driving in the city.
- Charging will cost roughly £5, and driving the gas model will cost roughly £25.
Overall, the Corsa-e is a competent, albeit unglamorous, electric car, that is functional enough to be worth the cost.
