I got my Corsa-e for 16000 euros in Italy. Back then, Bjorn approval was still lacking but I went for it based on his e-208 review. Boy I am happy with my purchase. 9500 km in 5 months and running!
@@peterlippke6019 36.000 EUR with 11 kW OBC (still extremely overpriced because they knew about the incentives). Discounts: - 2.000 EUR mandatory discount by the dealership to have access to all other incentives - 8.000 EUR from Italian government because you are 1 buying an EV 2 you're giving in a polluting vehicle (I gave in a Eur3 Diesel) - 10.000 EUR from Lombardy region (where I live). It's a rich and polluted region that has all the interests to push EVs.
> "I think you will be quite happy with it." I am. I have it since July last year and though it wasn't exactly the car of my dreams I really love to drive it and in the end, it fulfills almost all of my needs (despite the relatively small cargo space).
@@petersiegumfeldt8653 Not yet but I have a recall appointment because of the ABS controller two weeks from now. Then they probalby also will update the car.
Hands down, "Evening Traveler - Kickoff" might be the best choice of music for your videos. Such a brilliant and especially fitting song to the roadtrip sections.
I had to find and listen to that, I was afraid you were talking about the pseudo-Elvis music. Now that I know which song you meant, I fully agree. That was a great track for this video! (And so much better than the Elvis...)
Hey Bjorn awesome work! you put so much effort into your videos!!! Otherwise, just a tiny detail, I had 2 CorsaE already, one with 16" wheels, the other with 17", if a more sporty car is needed, the CorsaE with 17" has 95% identical confort but much better reaction in turns and when accelerating/braking faster ;)
I was considering this or the e208 when buying an EV, but in the end decided to pay more and go with the ID3, mostly because of the bigger boot and longer range. However, I'm sure I would have been happy with this too. Looks like a nice package, and quite a bit more affordable.
Great video. As an owner for almost a year, I agree with all your conclusions. I’m still pending on the firmware update to boost the charging curve and sort out the bug with the consumption, when the car is charging and on.
😎 Yo Bjorn. Great stuff, I thought the trip was fantastic, like wafting through a Bob Ross painting, with animals that "dunt moove"!! 😂 , and this vid just stole the show for me, 😎 Cheers
It would be nice if you could add what percentage in battery you have when you arrive at charging stations, and what you leave with just for info for us - the viewers.
I wish the PSG Group EVs were sold in the US. Maybe with Stellantis they might import some of them to help bring their average fuel economy up, since they don’t really sell many super fuel efficient vehicles in the US.
Thank you for all the detailed reviews. You are getting me closer to buying an EV! Regarding the HVAC during night. I have a Citroen Berlingo ICE today and the EV coming soon have potential to be the perfect mini-camper if heating works. 1. Can you set more than 4 timers in the app? Maybe you did not try the app. 2. Does it set the temp to 21 or something when setting pre-heating timers? 3. How much power did the corsa-e consume during the night with your preheating? 4. Did it work well for you during the night - meaning did it heat the cabin on the 45 min it was set? 5. Do you think that the car/HVAC can be turned on constantly when plugged in? Imagine a camp site with power..
Hallo Bjorn! God review of corsa-e. By tha way do you know if the BYD Tang brand was arrived there on Norway. I ear that that would a representative there. When you will tested? Thank you. All the best
Ähhhhhm, the starting price of the Corsa-E is almost double the price of the normal version. Thats far of beeing affordable. To call it overpricing would be even to nice, it's getting a real business modell to suck of subcidies from tax payers to skyrocket the prices.
I have an ioniq 2018 and before buying this one second hand I did look at the Corsa-E but the biggest difference is in the passenger space. And the ioniq had a better rear seat entry. That is important for 3 kids 😏
I need a car for work commute and the Corsa seems perfect for that. But I have about 3 trips a year to my parents who live about 520km away. Should also be possible with this car, shouldn't it? ABetterRoutePlaner says about 4 stops which seems a lot to me and actually two more than I want. With a gas car it's a 6 hours trip with one toilet stop. But I don't want it to be a 8 hours trip just because I have an EV. What do you guys and you Bjørn think?
The best feature of this car is that it has good fast charging, so if on the way of your parents you´ve got fast charges, you wouldn´t do more than a couple of stops 25 mins each.
Hmm... what did you mean @24:30. "Not pure electric"? Good review by the way, tested one the other day with basically the same impression. Probably not the latest SW either, there were no difference in B/D regarding the regen, that was strange 🤔. No regen at all actually, but perhaps just a bug.
I think the entry level of ID.3, the Pure Performannce, could be a very interesting alternative to this Stellantis Cars. Especially the whole package you get for the price is very impressive.
With the latest software, it could have taken 15-20 minutes less in the first leg of the trip, so 12:40 to reach the Arctic Circle that's very impressive
Nope. Not that much. This charging curve is faster than the old one from last year but not as fast as the latest (tested on e-C4). We're talking about only 1-2 minute time savings on each charging stop. First charging stop was rather short anyway so not much gain there. And last charging stop was at 50 kW where it didn't matter. Then we're left with only 2 charging stops at Trondheim and Steinkjer. That's a maximum of 5 minutes gain with the latest curve. The charging stop at Øvre Rendalen has already been subtracted for. And your claim of 12h 40m is waaaay off. Remember that the time I set was 13h 30m. Best case will then be 13h 25m.
@@bjornnylandsure not. I'm not complaining 😊 I just meant the result was kinda easy to guess, also you were looking obviously tired in the morning, you clearly couldn't rest very well. I really like and enjoy your dedication to test every single car as completely as possible, even if sometimes the result is kinda obvious.

...now u can sell it for 26000 :P jk
Nothing better than starting the day with refreshing Norwegian landscapes. Great shit!

With Bjørns ability to take good shots and videos, it would be awesome to see what he could do with a good drone on a trip like this.
Drone rules are too strict.
Love it Bjørn! Great review and insights. You’re the hardest working car reviewer. Interesting to see how the car acts as a camper!
Good Morning Björn.

What would you say the difference in consumption are between them?
@@mattiash4954 I estimate that the consumption is about 3-4% lower on the 16" version

@@petersiegumfeldt8653 some users reported on an Spanish forum that their Corsa was updated and are enjoying a much better charging speed

Great video. Thanks. I'm actually saving up to buy this model.
Best stellantis car!

I know if I was looking for an inexpensive first ev that I can take on road trips and drive to work Opel Corsa-e is on my list awesome little ev
YO! WHAT'S UP!
I wish the PSG Group EVs were sold in the US. Maybe with Stellantis they might import some of them to help bring their average fuel economy up, since they don’t really sell many super fuel efficient vehicles in the US.
They have the tech through Stellantis, american brands of the group there could get their version like Chrysler.
ABC - Allow Banana Consumption! great video as usual. Good to see you back at the Kempower chargers.
I like the pizza at Circle K. Got it last week. But I think it’s pre made. But a really good pre made pizza.
haddent had pizza in a while, maybe ill order some dominos tomorrow

Keeps calling it a sedan! It's a hatchback. Sedan/saloon has a longer tail and usually a separate boot/trunk.
I do eat pizza 🍕 in the morning from yesterday order.
At 17:50: “ABC- Always Bring Consumptions
cold pizza is the best
Bjorn;
Would you recommend a MG5 excite over the 40kw Leaf?
The Corsa looks really cool. But do you get lonely driving around?
Not at all. I enjoy driving alone.
Bjørn Nyland
very awesome 5:30-6:45
Will the front passenger seat fold down when the back seats are folded down, i was considering this car and need to get a kayak in it
Do you want yesterday's Pitza ?
Yes.
Come tomorrow.
I have an ioniq 2018 and before buying this one second hand I did look at the Corsa-E but the biggest difference is in the passenger space. And the ioniq had a better rear seat entry. That is important for 3 kids 😏
The trunk/boot size of Corsa e and Ioniq is completely different. It is not the same category of car.

What is the function of the red light below the license plate on the backside of the car at timemark 19:00, is this a fog light, or other purpose ?

The platform is not pure electric.

@@bjornnyland still good

"It's not pure electric unfortunately"? (at 24:28) What is it then?
I heard that comment from Bjorn as well. A slip of the lip from being tired perhaps? That was a lot of miles covered in a short period.
This one is, but not the platform. Bjørn should have been a bit clearer on what he actually meant.
Platform is not pure electric. I thought this was quite obvious.
