The Corsa-e is a decent electric car and a worthy rival to the Renault Zoe and Mini Electric. If it were better to drive and had a longer range between charges it would be even more recommendable.
This mid-range engine is our pick of the bunch. With a little extra power (99bhp), it’s more willing to pull from low in the rev range and accelerates from 0-60mph in 9.3sec. For that reason, it’s far more flexible than the entry-level engine and more at home during motorway jaunts. Bear in mind that opting for the automatic gearbox adds almost a second to that sprint time.
