Opel Corsa-e

Opel has received an order for 1,744 new all-electric Opel Corsa-e cars from Poste Italiane, the Italian post office. Deliveries of the Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV) will begin before the end of this year. The goal is a significant reduction in CO2 emissions. Opel Corsa-e was selected in a public tender that was bid by leading automobile manufacturers.

With a range of up to 337 km in the WLTP 1 cycle, Opel Corsa-e is suitable for every-day use. 50 kWh battery can be fast-charged to up to 80 per cent state-of-charge in 30 minutes. Opel BEV is ready for all charging options – via wall box, high-speed charging or cable for household sockets – and an eight-year/160,000km warranty covers the battery.

Opel Corsa-e – the “Golden Steering Wheel 2020” title-holder – offers technologies and assistance systems more often found in higher market segments. Top features include the adaptive, glare-free IntelliLux LED Matrix light that Opel offers for the first time in the small car segment.

If Opel Corsa-e leaves the driving lane unintentionally, active lane assist applies gentle corrective steering. With Active Drive Assist engaged, the car is kept in the centre of the driving lane.

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) maintains a certain following distance to the vehicle ahead, using radar and camera sensors. System offers additional stop and go functionality, braking the car to a standstill and following the vehicle ahead in traffic jams. Side blind zone assist and a variety of parking assistants are also available.

[1] Range determined according to WLTP test procedure methodology (R (EC) No. 715/2007, R (EU) No. 2017/1151). The actual range can vary under everyday conditions and depends on various factors, in particular on personal driving style, route characteristics, outside temperature, use of heating and air conditioning and thermal preconditioning.
