Yes, Vauxhall and the whole of Stellantis has got its EV pricing completely wrong. It’s a Corsa with mediocre EV specs, it should start at £25k and top out under £30k. They are using ICE platforms, saving themselves a fortune, these prices are ridiculous and an act of self harm. You can get a Volvo EX30 for £33,795 and that is a proper EV from a better brand

The best option is an immediate end to all new buy to let mortgage & rent caps, that would allow first time buyers the chance to save for a deposit & those who can't afford to buy affordable rent, it would also save taxpayer's a fortune in money that is currently paid out to private landlords in housing benefits.

If you want the latest model it will cost you twice as much than if you wait a year or 2. Rarely a difference in useability, this kind of improvements happens aprox every third year. The size of the investment they would have to put into production to match the anticipated demand of this car at, lets say 25K, would make it unfeasible. Much better to spread it out through a 5 year lifespan. Bottom line: Tesla 3 ==> £43K (plus £200 for delivery to your front door).

China is throwing steel at the world but its quality is not currently up to agreed grading. Indian steel is more expensive but its resistance to corrosion is better; and ability to withstand pre & post manufacture product stresses and pressure is also greater. BYD and SAIC Motors both understandably use Chinese made steel. Stellantis uses Indian or American made steels. If you’re only going to keep a vehicle for the 2-5yrs. from date of initial manufacture. I doubt it matters where the its steel came from but if you intend to keep it for longer or are buying secondhand or ex-lease, (typically 2-3yrs. old). You may want to consider who made the steel. And if you’re buying outright to sell-on in say 5yrs., you may want the highest residual value. So again, where the steel came from may be important. But Stellantis are having a laugh with pricing like this. I’m not saying cars are cheap, they’re not. But there’s many who perceive German cars to be the best and a great many who believe the same of Tesla. Stellantis needs to be realistic about the markets it’s selling into.

So, a few things to add here: 1.) Stellantis moronically raised the prices on the Corsa and Mokka about 7 months ago and subsequently lined the new electric Astra up accordingly. So a top specc Corsa lands just under the price of a base Model 3 now - while the top specc Astra is in the territory of a Model 3 Long Range. The Mokka is somewhere in between. 2.) The new "gear selector" was actually introduced into the Corsa before the release of the new version. A neighbor of mine has the "old" version of the E-Corsa and has that very same selector in it. The electric Corsa, Mokka and Astra are good cars, reliable, comfortable and well suited for your daily routines. But ever since Stellantis made them way more expensive (and they weren´t exactly cheap to begin with) I can not in good concience recommend those cars. They are just too expensive for what they bring to the table. Their batteries are 50 - 54 kw. The good efficiency on the Astra was made real by reducing the power of the 156hp engine, effectively making the Astra and the new Corsa slower to accelerate than the previous Corsa despite the fact the previous Corsa had the 136hp engine. Said efficiency however goes out the window once you go over 110 kmh. They all fast charge to a MAXIMUM speed of 100kwh. As far as I know there´s no charge management, meaning you can´t define, say, 80% soc as your charge goal. Last I checked you can only set a delayed starting time for charging - pretty much useless unless you use your own wallbox (if you have one). Navigation does not include charging stops at all, the map merely shows you locations of chargers. Thats it. No frunk, to extra space under the trunk or at least none worth mentioning. But the biggest offense is the app for your phone. The only function that works reliably is showing you your soc. And even that takes remarkably long at times to display. All other functions sometimes don´t work or don´t work properly, including: - You can activate the a/c system through the app. I tried this twice while the car was charging - it stopped charging the moment the a/c turned on. Useless. - The app shows you the position of your car. However this doesn´t always update - I saw numerous occasions where the car was shown to be in a spot it previously was. For example, when it was parked in front of my home but the app showed is as being parked near my workplace, 26 kilometers away. - The app records your journeys by taking the info from the car when you shut the car down and exit. Problem: it doesn´t always do that. More often than not I saw a solid third of a months trips missing from the records, so I stopped bothering with this "feature" as well. - You can pre-plan a trip via the app (set a route) which then will be transferred to the cars navigation when you power up the car. While this usually works it can take a few moments, up to several minutes, for the car to receive the route. And you can only do basic planning, e.g. go from point a to point b. By the time the car receives the route you might just as well enter it manually onboard. - There are a few other minor things that are not worth mentioning. This app is, plain and simple, a massive insult. A buddy of mine who is into programming could probably do this better in a month with one of his hands tied to his back. Sounds all pretty bad, right? Well, I maintain one thing: the cars themselves are, as the fine lady in this video said: fine. Fine cars, by themselves worth owning and comfortable to drive. But with all those tradeoffs you got on them they are just WAAAAAAAAAY OVERPRICED. And this price hike came shortly AFTER Tesla had lowered their prices. So, as our dear host said: if you really, really want a Opel / Vauxhall electric car you´re in good hands - you just have to pay a damn lot of money. Money that might as well be invested in cars that might not be as cozy but are definitely offering way more.

Cheap as hell on leasing here in Germany. 150 EUR a month. And in the UK? No point buying. Lease.

Even if you get a Tesla 3 for £3k more, the price of insurance between both is what gets you

Add an extra 4K to the price of this and buy the new tesla model three, has far more space, far better range and far more storage. What is stellantis thinking here?!

The original battery was 50kwh gross and 45kwh useable so 6kwh difference from the new one.

At £38k it is dead on arrival. Can buy a new Model 3 Highland with more range for £40k

Tbh most people are unlikely to buy a corsa to fit a family of 5 in, your by an Astra or something similar instead.

When Opel (or Peugeot to be fair) does a proper EV they will for some reason lose that no frills, nice looking interior for some wild fad and a screen.

European car manufacturers have lost the plot when it comes to pricing. What on earth are they smoking??? Price of this is crazy. It's a small runabout for God's sake. Saying that, Peugeot are asking over forty thousand for their new 308 hatch. The more prices climb, the more reasons I have to keep my 12 year old diesel. I own it, it does 55mpg, a range of 750 miles. No reason to switch to EV, pay hundreds a month in repayments, poor residuals and pitiful real world range. Yeah they're good for the environment etc etc. But lousy for my bank balance. They'll remain a rich boys toy

I would never pay any sort of 'Premium' price for an Opel/Vauxhall to start with. As for this version...it's just more cynical EV pricing by the manufacturers. It has to be remembered, there are NO cheap EV's yet, just 'cheaper' ones. They are still all over priced, no matter how good some of them may undeniably be. A long way to go still before the decision by the majority of folk to buy an EV is not because of bullying policies by governments - such as increasing the costs of running an ICE car - but because the decision makes financial sense as well as an ethical one. That's a shame because the switch from ICE to an alternative, whatever that eventually settles down to be, needs to be made by the majority.

32k for a Vauxhall Corsa is as bad as 42k for a Peugeot 308 It'll only be worth half the value in a year. Bland Bland Bland Dull as dishwater Not mega exciting As you said It's fine it's a Corsa but its not 32k fine New Price Used it'll be 15k

I like the Corsa, even if the price is maybe aspirational. Here in the Chicago suburbs, most people are only interested in giant trucks and SUVs…those folks wouldn’t look at this car if it were priced at $28K, let alone $38K (sorry, I know price was originally shown in pounds). And how about Nicola Hume? What a great journalist. Well-spoken, upbeat and genuinely knowledgeable and enthusiastic about all sorts of cars. Other channels would do well to learn her approach.

Not really pushing for EV change are they? If the BYD Seagull comes to the UK for 12-18k then these mini EVs from likes of Vauxhall will not be looked at. Even the MG is a far more attractive proposition than this.

Yes. The conspiracy nut in me thinks it's all an effort to say, 'See? We tried making electric cars and it didn't work, pfff!' Everyone's just gonna buy the MG4, aren't they? And they both have "British" (cough, cough!) badges.

Waaaay too expensive I mean if the Chinese car companies can do the same or better for less why can't the big manufacturers do so like Vauxhall? If it's any consolation the Astra EV is like its sister car the 308 £40k + which is hideous. I also don't like the way in order to get all the power you have to go to sport mode. Bottom line.

Before watching........ Yep! Not too bad, but a bit too expensive when you consider the competition - mainly MG and other Chinese brands, or for a bit more and a lot more range/efficiency the Koreans! Stellantis just seems to be going off their loyal brand fans. When you can get a 3 yr old E-Niro 4, with 4 years warranty left, for £16.5k - a smaller car with a smaller range and a lower warranty for twice the cost, is a hard sell!

The list price is pointless and irrelevant - it might as well be £100,000 because nobody buys cars anymore. All that matters is the PCP deals that Vauxhall offer and they are a lot more competitive after the negotiations and dealer discounts. Is it as good value as an MG? No, but its not £38,000 either.
