The Opel Corsa-e.

Leeson Motors, Opel Importer in Ireland, has announced details of its Take Charge offer, a motor industry first in Ireland. The exciting offer invites customers to register a new, all-electric Opel Corsa-e in January 2021 and if they are not happy after six months of emissions-free driving, Opel will take it back. 

James Brooks, Managing Director at Leeson Motors said: “Our innovative Take Charge offer is designed for those thinking of switching to electric, who might need a little bit more peace of mind that they are making the right decision.

“We are absolutely confident that customers will not be disappointed with the excellent new Corsa-e, and we want to give customers an assurance that in six months’ time, if they don’t love the simplicity of e-mobility, they can opt to come back to their local Opel Dealer and drive away in a petrol or diesel Opel model of equivalent value instead. It really is that easy.”

He continued: “We’ve worked really hard to make the transition to electric as smooth as possible for our customers. Our Dealers are equipped with demonstrator models, to allow customers enjoy 24-hour test drives and we’ve ensured we have ample stock on the ground, available for immediate delivery.

“Earlier this year we partnered with Energia, Ireland’s leading independent energy provider, to offer customers a free home charger and we also introduced a keen, low cost finance at 2.9% APR, to keep the monthly costs down.

“Add these bonuses to the Opel Take Charge offer, and it really is a very enticing package for those drivers thinking of switching to all-electric motoring.”

With an impressive range of up to 337KM and fast charging of up to 80% in just 30 minutes, the Opel Corsa-E was crowned Autobest Best Buy Car of Europe 2020.

Available to order now, the all-electric Corsa-e is on offer in SC and Elite trims and retails from €26,814 and €30,150, respectively, inclusive of SEAI grant and VRT relief. 

The Corsa-e SC trim offers a huge array of standard features to include a colour touchscreen with navigation, DAB radio, Apple Car Play / Android Auto, USB connections, lane departure warning with lane assist, speed sign recognition, automatic emergency city braking, hill assist, cruise control with speed limiter, LED headlights, 16” alloy wheels, high beam assist, automatic wipers and headlights, rear parking sensors, electric parking brake, electronic climate control and keyless start.

Easy-to-understand vehicle data is displayed on the 7” digital instrument cluster to keep the driver fully informed on battery status and energy usage.
