Vauxhall has officially opened orders for the 2025 Vauxhall Corsa YES Edition, a car that takes everything great about the Corsa Electric and gives it an extra shot of personality. If a regular Corsa Electric is like a perfectly brewed cup of tea, the YES Edition is like adding a biscuit on the side—unexpectedly delightful, slightly indulgent, but still well within your daily routine.
Key Highlights of the 2025 Vauxhall Corsa YES Edition
Powertrain: Zip Through City Streets Like a Silent Ninja
The Vauxhall Corsa YES Edition comes packed with a fully electric 136PS powertrain, producing 260 Nm of torque. That’s enough to make merging onto a motorway feel more like a quick hop than an anxiety-inducing ordeal. The instant torque means you’ll leave most petrol cars blinking at the traffic lights, wondering what just happened. And because it's electric, you can enjoy all this power without making a sound—so quiet, in fact, that you might find yourself whispering in the car out of habit.
Battery and Range: Drive Far, Charge Fast
With a cutting-edge 50kWh battery, the Corsa YES Edition delivers an impressive 221 miles of range on a single charge—that’s enough to get from London to Manchester with a few miles to spare, assuming you’re not blasting the air conditioning like you’re in the Sahara. When it’s time to charge, you won’t be waiting forever: a DC fast charger can boost the battery from 20% to 80% in just 30 minutes. That’s about the time it takes to grab a coffee and question your life choices at a service station.
Interior Features: Tech and Comfort in a Compact Package
- Seating: The sculpted sports seats aren’t just for show—they’re designed to keep you comfortable whether you’re zipping through city streets or stuck in traffic contemplating your existence.
- Technology: A 7-inch digital instrument cluster and a 10-inch central touchscreen display come as standard. Smartphone integration via Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™ means your playlists, maps, and messages are always at your fingertips—because nothing says “cutting-edge” like being able to ask your car to play your guilty-pleasure 2000s playlist on demand.
- Convenience: Keyless entry and start make getting in and out of the car effortless—great for those moments when you’re carrying a takeaway, a gym bag, or just too much emotional baggage.
Exterior Design: A Small Car with a Big Personality
- Aesthetics: The 2025 Corsa YES Edition sports Vauxhall’s signature Vizor® front grille, sleek LED headlights, and a contrasting black roof. It’s the kind of design that makes people look twice—once to check out the styling and a second time because they can’t believe an electric car can actually look cool.
- Wheels: 16-inch black alloy wheels come standard, giving the car a stance that says, “I’m efficient, but I still mean business.”
- Color Options: You get four choices—Record Red, Arctic White, Carbon Black, and Graphic Grey. If you pick red, expect people to assume you’re always in a hurry. White? You probably enjoy keeping things clean. Black? You’re going for the mysterious, Batman vibe. Grey? You’re a pragmatist who just wants a car that won’t show dirt easily.
Pricing and Availability: A Shockingly Affordable EV
For an electric car, the Corsa YES Edition is priced at £26,895 ($33,000 USD)—not bad considering it comes with all the bells and whistles. In comparison, the standard Corsa Electric Design trim starts at £29,045 ($35,600 USD), while the Ultimate trim reaches £33,040 ($40,500 USD).
If you need even more range, Vauxhall offers a Long Range version featuring a 51kWh battery and a 156PS motor, stretching the maximum distance to 248 miles per charge. It’s priced from £30,440 ($37,200 USD), which is still a great deal considering you’ll be spending significantly less at the (nonexistent) fuel pump.
