The all-new Corsa was developed on the same platform as the Peugeot 208, therefore an electrified version is available.
It uses the same 50kWh battery and 136PS electric motor as the e-208, giving a range of 209 miles.
Prices start at £26,490 (including government grant), which is more than the Peugeot although the Corsa comes with more equipment as standard.
Vauxhall has said that the e-Corsa will swiftly be followed by more electrified cars, including next year’s new Mokka X small SUV, and that
by 2024 it will have an electric or plug-in hybrid version of every model in its range.
