The piece de resistance? It will be two pairs of checked socks, one with a design matching the original Nova fabric, and the other from the new anniversary edition.
Socks aside, the special features give the Corsa-E Anniversary Edition a little hot hatch charm that matches the early Nova models. £31,000 – £700 more than regular Corsa-e SE models, but £910 cheaper than top-of-the-line Ultimate cars – unlikely to be the preserve of first-time car buyers in the world. What the original Nova looked like.
The latest powertrain upgrades apply to the entire Corsa-e range for the 2022 model year. The essentials remain unchanged: the electric supermini still uses a 50kWh (total) battery and 134bhp engine. But there is a new final gear ratio for the engine, which means it revs less when running in a higher gear. There’s a new heat pump, which the company says is more efficient.
The net result is that the Corsa-E’s official range has been increased from 209 to 222 miles – and our outputs show that going over 200 miles is entirely possible in the real world. While this is as much a psychological barrier as anything else, it’s a useful extra range hit that’s very welcome.
The Corsa-e’s pleasantly quick acceleration and understated feel have not changed. It’s not to be confused with a classic Corsa VXR and some other EVs are great to drive, but there’s a hint of character that makes it a fun and great city car.
