Opel Corsa GSE hot hatch confirmed


Opel will expand its range of all-electric GSE models, writes Trish Whelan. Opel claim that soon, the new Corsa GSE will be gibing customers goosebumps, speed and electric emotions. 

Following the premiere and launch of the Opel Mokka GSE last year, the new Corsa GSE will be the next everyday sports car to bring electric performance to the road. Small, agile and very practical, Opel’s Corsa is a best-seller for the brand while the three letters ‘GSE’ stand for battery-electric high-performance and top dynamics. The Corsa GSE is the new all-electric, top-of-the-range version of that small car. 

The Mokka GSE 281hp, the most powerful electric road car ever produced by Opel, and inspired by the Mokka GSE Rally and packaged in a GSE motorsport design, won the Golden Steering Wheel 2025 award as Best Small Car, immediately after its launch. 

Like the Mokka GSE, the new Corsa GSE will also be based on the current model generation. Germany’s most popular small car for five years in a row, will feature electrifying design details, with ‘thrilling, locally emissions-free performance on the road’. 

The new Opel Corsa GSE will be available to order during this year. Further information to follow shortly.
