Vauxhall has officially unveiled the pricing and availability of the new Corsa Electric in the UK, catering to environmentally-conscious drivers seeking an enhanced driving experience. With a starting price of £32,445, customers can now place their orders for this eco-friendly marvel, and the first deliveries are set to take place before the end of the year.
The Corsa Electric offers a choice between three trim levels – Design, GS, and Ultimate, each boasting its unique features to cater to diverse preferences and requirements. Additionally, Vauxhall has revealed some exciting technical details about the updated EV.
One of the most significant improvements is the 51 kWh battery, which empowers the Corsa Electric with an impressive range of up to 396 kilometers when equipped with the new 115 kW motor. For those opting for the existing 100 kW powertrain, the EV still offers a commendable range of 357 kilometers on a single charge.
Efficiency and convenience are also at the forefront of the Corsa Electric’s design, as it comes standard with an 11 kW on-board charger. This charger enables the EV to go from zero to 100 percent charge in just over five hours, ensuring less time spent tethered to the charging station and more time on the road.
Moreover, for those seeking even faster charging options, the Corsa Electric is equipped to fast-charge with up to 100 kW. With this capability, the battery can be charged from 10 to 80 percent in a mere 30 minutes, making it more convenient for long-distance travel and reducing charging-related downtime.
In addition to its impressive technical upgrades, the interior of the new Corsa Electric has undergone a makeover, featuring several enticing additions. Among these is the inclusion of a 10-inch touchscreen, which boasts Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, providing drivers with seamless connectivity and infotainment options. Furthermore, the convenience of wireless phone charging is also available, adding a touch of modernity to the driving experience.
For those who might be considering the petrol engine version of the Corsa, Vauxhall offers a starting price of £19,625, providing customers with the flexibility to choose between traditional and electric powertrains, depending on their preferences and needs.
As Vauxhall takes another step towards sustainability and innovation, the new Corsa Electric promises to deliver an exceptional driving experience, making electric mobility more accessible and appealing to a wider audience. With its attractive pricing, improved features, and extended range, the Corsa Electric is set to make a significant impact on the electric vehicle market in the UK.
