The Vauxhall Corsa GSE turns up the volume over the standard electric Corsa with a more aggressive setup and the feel of a proper small performance car. It is not trying to be especially refined or sophisticated; instead, it focuses on sharp reactions, a more focused chassis and an immediate driving experience.
For buyers who want a zero-emission city car but still care about driving enjoyment, the result works well. The Corsa GSE feels aimed at anyone looking for a lively, distinctive compact EV that stands out from the more sensible alternatives.
