Which is easier to park and drive in town, the Toyota C-HR+ or the Vauxhall Corsa?
The Vauxhall Corsa is the easier car for tight UK car parks: it is 105 mm narrower than the Toyota C-HR+. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 635 mm of total clearance for the Vauxhall Corsa and about 530 mm of total clearance for the Toyota C-HR+. The Vauxhall Corsa also turns in a 0.3 m tighter circle, which helps with U-turns and multi-storey ramps.
Which battery will hold up better as a used buy, the Toyota C-HR+ or the Vauxhall Corsa?
Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 84% battery health for the Toyota C-HR+ and 84% for the Vauxhall Corsa. That is close enough that capacity loss should not decide between them. Both use NMC-type cells, so for daily use keep the charge limit near 80% to slow degradation. Both batteries carry a 8-year manufacturer warranty.
