Batteries are expensive... The Corsa manages to undercut the BINI electric despite having a battery with 50% more capacity.

To be fair that is the top model - says it starts from £32,445. That said, you could get a MG4 for a lot less or a Model 3 (with 0% finance!) for only a small amount more.

Is this part of why ford dropped the fiesta?
“Nobody is going to pay £3x,xxx for a fiesta!”

[ChrisH72]

Hmmm.

MG4 xpower is £36495 and comes with 435bhp.

Not sure if 435bhp is a good idea for your average Corsa buyer.

Your average corsa driver takes it on finance then 3 years later swaps for another so they will never pay it all.

[ChrisH72]

I'd like to see the finance offer on that top range model.

If its 38k then surely it'll drop by at least 20k in 3 years. Even at 0% finance it has to be over 500 a month unless you pay a very hefty deposit.

[SWoll]

No one is paying £38k in reality



And then consider this is what they are asking for a 1.2 Ultimate auto.



The moral of this story appears to be that top spec Corsa's are ridicuously expensive not matter how they are powered?

[cayman-black]

lol, £3800 I might think about it.

That's not the 'new' though is it?

That's the reality in 3 years.

Scary.

People like to think they are getting a bargain so look out soon for the thread - I just bought a new Corsa and got a £10k discount.

Yeah Vauxhall aren't in the same game as Tesla as the price published isn't the price you pay at a Vauxhall dealer.

Considering this is as quick off the mark as a VXR of the older generation, and the price inflation (of everything), it's not that far apart.

I'm more interested in how Vauxhall is positioned amongst it's stable mates. It's a very crowded market for Stellantis cars alone.

But its hardly any cheaper than a Tesla Model 3 or Ionic 5.

Just goes to show why city cars are disappearing, with modern safety and electronic systems it makes an insignificant cost base difference to make the car 10-15% smaller

If you'd paid list that would be about £1 per mile in depreciation for a Corsa. Nice!

However, that just makes clear what a bargain they are lightly used.

I'm tempted at that price, its a modern EV with a big battery, 100Kw charging, long warranty - way cheaper than Pug version.

What is BINI

It’s what some people refer to the 2000 onwards MINI as.

BMW + MINI = BINI, when actually MINI as an all caps brand name is sufficient to differentiate it from the Mini.

Similar to the affliction of referring to all JLR products a TATA’s.

Jesters they are.
