Embrace the electric advantage without compromising on performance or style. Welcome to the world of Vauxhall‘s refreshed range, boasting the Corsa YES Edition and Mokka Griffin. These special edition models disrupt the electric vehicle (EV) space by combining eco-sustainability, affordability, and high-specification finishes. With deliveries set to roll out from June, let’s plug in and delve into what sets these two models apart.
The Electric Corsa YES Edition
Say ‘yes’ to electric mobility with the Corsa YES Edition. This special edition comes with two powertrain options: the 1.2-litre 100PS petrol engine or the fully electric 136PS. The Corsa YES Edition is an attractive proposition, sporting the Vauxhall Vizor – the brand’s characteristic face – with a black Griffin logo and the model name confidently displayed in the back.
While the petrol variant demands attention with its black alloy wheels, the electric option adorns a 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system and a seven-inch digital instrument cluster. Using the Vauxhall Connect system, EV owners can schedule charging and pre-condition the cabin temperature, marking the dawn of intelligent, connected mobility.
The electric version features a 136PS electric motor, powered by a 50kWh battery, offering a range of 221 miles WLTP. This EV charges from 0 to 80% in just 30 minutes using a 100kW rapid charger, ensuring quick turnarounds for active city dwellers. Starting at £26,895, the electric YES Edition offers considerable savings over the Corsa Electric Design.
Enter the Mokka Griffin
The Mokka Griffin is an awe-inspiring blend of design, performance, and power. This special edition model sports a contrasting black roof complemented by tinted rear windows and silver 17-inch alloy wheels. The Mokka Griffin is available with a 1.2-litre three-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine, with power options spanning from 100PS to 136PS, or a fully electric variant.
The Mokka Electric Griffin comes with a 50kWh lithium-ion battery, offering a 209-mile range WLTP. Quick to charge, a 0-80% boost requires just half an hour on a 100kW rapid DC charger. Priced at £29,495, the Mokka Electric Griffin is an attractively affordable entry-point into the Mokka Electric line-up.
Vauxhall’s Partnership with Tesco
In a bid to further incentivise their EV offering, Vauxhall has partnered with supermarket giant Tesco, offering a year’s free EV charging for their retail customers. This initiative, based on an average yearly mileage, is offered as fixed credit value in the Pod Point app.
The Vauxhall Corsa YES edition and Mokka Griffin balance affordability, performance, and innovative technology. While not shying away from the brand’s motoring heritage, these models deliver an electric driving experience designed for the modern consumer. Available from June, these models mark the dawn of an electrifying chapter in Vauxhall’s journey.
