FAQ topic

Is the Vauxhall Corsa Electric good for longer journeys?

Yes, with a little planning.

The 51kWh model's official range of up to 265 miles gives it plenty of flexibility, while the 50kWh version remains a practical choice for everyday driving.

But motorway speeds, cold weather and heating can reduce an EV's range, so it's sensible to plan longer journeys around charging stops rather than assuming the WLTP figure is your motorway range.

That doesn't make the Corsa Electric a bad long-distance car. It simply means that, like most EVs, it works best when you understand how its range changes with conditions.

If you regularly travel with family and luggage, the larger Grandland Electric may be worth a look instead. It's a bigger SUV designed with more space and longer-distance driving in mind, so it could be a better match for drivers who have outgrown the Corsa's compact dimensions.
