Used electric cars: Peugeot e-208 vs Vauxhall Corsa-e verdict
These two year-old small EVs share many components and, with compelling used prices, are desirable buys. However, which should you put on your driveway?...
Our verdict
As you've probably picked up on, there isn't a huge amount to separate these two cars, especially from a technical or performance standpoint, because they are essentially identical in those respects. However, with the few differences there are, the Corsa-e is ultimately outmatched.
It's an impressive car, don't get us wrong. It's intuitive infotainment system, comfier rear seats and good driving position mean, in some ways, it's the easier car to get used to and live with. However, the e-208 feels like the more premium product, with a better ride and a classier interior.
Factor in that the e-208 is only slightly more expensive and likely to be worth more when you come to sell it, and it takes a narrow win in this used twin test.
