Vauxhall Corsa-e SE Nav

Replaced in 2024 by the Vauxhall Corsa · Compare old and new

The compact Vauxhall Corsa-e SE Nav suits city parking and narrow streets. Its boot is smaller than those of most rival hatchbacks in this comparison, so check luggage space against your everyday needs.

By eight years on the road it should still hold about 84% of its battery health, roughly 212 km of real-world range, which is a useful yardstick if you're buying used. What owners say: Owners like the drive: quick off the line, quiet and smooth, and livelier than a Nissan Leaf or Renault Zoe. Real-world range falls well short of WLTP: typically 150-185 miles in mild weather, nearer 120-140 in winter and on cold motorways.

What Owners Say

Balanced

Owners Love

  • Owners like the drive: quick off the line, quiet and smooth, and livelier than a Nissan Leaf or Renault Zoe.
  • Running costs are very low, with cheap overnight home charging and low servicing costs.
  • Equipment is generous for a small car, often including heated seats and steering wheel.

Watch Out For

  • Real-world range falls well short of WLTP: typically 150-185 miles in mild weather, nearer 120-140 in winter and on cold motorways.
  • The range estimate is unreliable and swings sharply, especially in winter.
  • The MyVauxhall app is unreliable for pre-heating and battery status, and infotainment connections can be flaky.

Owner Tips

  • Judge range by miles per kWh (about 3.5-4 in summer, 2.5-3 in winter) and battery percentage, not the range estimate.
  • Pre-heat while plugged in and use the heated seats and wheel instead of the cabin heater in winter.
  • Check the air-conditioning recall software update has been done.
