To find out more about the world of electric cars, head over to www.electrifying.com
We're out of the Electrifying studio and back on the road with Nicki Shields and Tom 'Wookie' Ford fighting over which is the better electric car - the Vauxhall Corsa-e or the Peugeot e-208.
They might look different but under the skin these two electric hatchbacks are almost identical, with 200+ mile ranges and 136bhp motors. Either would make a great choice as an everyday car as they drive well and have a big battery, so the average motorist would only need to charge once a week.
But they seem to be aimed at buyers with different priorities. The Vauxhall is more conservative and 'normal' with nothing that is likely to scare a driver coming from a petrol or diesel car. The Peugeot meanwhile has a space-age 3D interior and funkier styling.
Which would you choose? Let us know in the comments!

@frankshabangu522 3 года назад

I think the Peugeot looks better when speced accordingly. Its more fussy. The Corsa looks good but I can see why some love how the Peugeot looks. The reason I'd pick the Corsa though is because of the buttons it has on the inside instead of having to go through a touch screen like in the Peugeot... I think I'm getting old 🤣

Yep, with cornering light through the front fog lights that the 208 doesn't have, but it's the only things the Corsa does better. For me, the deal-breaker on the Corsa is the ride, it's really stiff and uncomfortable, and the Corsa I tested was on 15". The 208 is a (little) bit firm but still comfortable.

I have bought the Corsa e which IMHO looks better the the e208. Those black gloss wheel arches look really naff. Other reviewers have commented on the slightly firmer ride in the Corsa, something that these two missed.

@jamesmccormack3229 3 года назад

Really like the e corsa, think it is actually a really good looking wee e hatchback, also, the 208 is already starting to look old as the design is on all their cars now Peugeot are at risk over over exposure of this design, and in turn making the 208's looks age quicker inside and out.

In terms of rear seat space, which one comes out on top?

@q3b26 2 года назад

I’ve been looking at the e-208 and Corsa-e recently and I’m drawn more towards the Corsa. Comparing top spec models. The headlights are much better with the Corsa, the 208 doesn’t even have an option for Matrix LED. The Corsa comes with heated seats and steering wheel as standard, but the 208 doesn’t offer a heated steering wheel and heated seats are an optional extra. The Corsa is actually quicker to 60 at 7.6s. If you want keyless entry and start on the 208 your only choice is a top spec model and who doesn’t want that on an electric car. Lastly, a top spec factory build Corsa can be had for £25k but the 208 is £33k. No brainer really when the one thing the 208 offers over the Corsa is adaptive cruise, I don’t think it’s worth the £8k difference for the same car, mechanics, battery pack etc.

@ISuperTed Год назад

Umm - the top spec Corsa-e is £31k. Not sure where you’re getting the £25K from. It is cheaper than the Peugeot spec for spec but there’s not a lot in it.

I like the look of the Corsa, it has a certain appeal, if it wasn't so pricey, I prefer the look and lack of gadgets over the 208, I think it looks better even if the Peugeot is the better of the two, I guess oldies like me prefer basics over gadgets

@heyedddie 3 года назад

the 208 "better looking outside"? Just look at their side profile at 8:36 the 208 with the GT line? Maybe, but without it the Corsa looks much better imo. It has a more elegant appearance, especially with the body colored wheel arches. The black floating roof and the sharp crease in the back around the tail lights give it less of that funny small boxy car look. (from the side view the bonnet of the Corsa also looks a bit longer but this is probably not actually the case) Every time I drive past one I am actually impressed by the rear design. I do like the rear lights of the 208 too but the vertical daytime running lights in the front are too gimmicky. On the inside I actually prefer the 208 bcause that's where I personally prefer having an interesting and exciting design and I also think that the digital "cockpit" in the Corsa is an absolute joke.

@user-yi9fx4ke6r 2 года назад

The Corsa has a better spec and gives better value for money especially when you compare the top spec of both cars with the Corsa’s matrix led headlights, heated steering wheel and heated front seats. And the base models of the e208 come with steel wheels and manually operated rear windows. The Corsa is the cheaper of the 2 which wasn’t mentioned either.

Shame you didn't really compare the driving positions and practical stuff like what they are like to park. Do they both sit at the same height in the driver's position for example? What's the clearance like under the car? Design is the easy bit that we can all see from photos anyway and yet reviewers spend most of the time going on about it.

@davidvestey6014 3 года назад

@Madmark50484 Год назад

@@YourComputerExpert initially it was good and often exceeded its predicted range. however it went in for a software update and since it generally falls about 10% short. its max range is 220 miles. its currently got a charging fault ie its not charging at full speed. Is this your first EV? I would advise to buy with caution. since I got mine a lot of free charging has gone and using public chargers is more expensive than using my diesel car. I charge at work for free but its subject to availability. realistically you need home charging to make it viable. The other woe I'm having is insurance is nearly double what my diesel car costs. I wouldn't say don't buy one but know what you're getting into and do plenty of research. it can easily go from being a mild inconvenience to a royal pain in the backside. Edit forgot to mention specific to the 208 paint is very fragile I have a mark on the roof from "bird poo".

Cool review! But hey, please don't say "fifty kilowatt battery pack" when talking about capacity. Batteries are already measured in kilowatts by how much charge power they can take, and the motor power is measured in kilowatts. It's already confusing for newcomers to electric cars to wrap their heads around the unfamiliar units, without having them mixed up like this. Battery capacities are measured in kilowatt-hours, KWh. Power is measured in kilowatts, KW. It's a fifty kilowatt-HOUR battery.

Especially the front and the Audi look-a-like frontlights/LED looks so much cooler - the vertical LED of the 208 which goes down in the bumper is just a silly view compared to! Also love the Corsa's unusual orange metal color with the black top - its simply more sporty, different and much lesser boring!

@@7755ian1 Just to make clear I said more premium (when comparing Model 3 to these models). I didn't say that a Tesla compares to a Mercedes S class if that's how you define premium. Build quality wise some models definitely have issues but they seem to be improving the build quality at a rapid pace now. Cars coming out of the new Shanghai factory are reported to have excellent build quality and I would expect Berlin and Texas to be as good if not better when they start producing. Btw. you are wrong. I actually drive an early Model S P85 which is partly made from old Mercedes parts and has some quality issues. A good portion of them have been fixed under warranty though and I love driving it. 😊
