Here are the key points and findings from the video review of the Vauxhall Mokka:
- The Vauxhall Mokka’s second generation needed a significant update. - Sharp looks are matched by a reworked cabin and powertrain choices; split between conventional, hybrid, and EV. - It is Vauxhall’s second-best-selling model. - With the updated model, there are smarter looks and a nicer interior. - The previous Mokka A had handling that was as exciting as a trip to the dentist. - The lightweight CMP platform changes things considerably. - An all-electric drivetrain is available, along with a combustion engine. - There is a pure electric drive train available alongside a combustion one. - The Mokka doesn't have a history of rewarding drive dynamics. - It shares underpinnings with rivals not known for their dynamic drive, like the Peugeot 2008 and DS 3 Crossback. - It's a Vauxhall-flavored version of a basic design, also marketed by Stellantis as a Peugeot 2008, Citroen C3 Aircross, DS 3, Jeep Avenger and Alfa Romeo Junior. - That a 1.2-liter 3-cylinder petrol engine gives 136 PS in 6-speed manual versions. - Or there is a 130 PS with an 8-speed auto. - Irrespective of the choice, it takes 8.9 sec to reach 62 mph. - The electric powertrain adds over 300 kg of bulk. - You’ll feel speed bumps keenly, although it’s a bit better than that in the combustion versions. - The steering is light. - This is one of the more eye-catching Vauxhalls we can recall. - The update budget has mostly been spent in the cabin, where the "multimedia pure panel" is present. - The instrument screen is actually 2 inches smaller than the one from before the facelift - Has the usual eCall system, with 6 airbags, a blend of carbon fiber style trimming, a nicely contrasting sport seat, and independent climate controls. - The glover box is halved in size by a fuse box. - Lumbar support is available on a top-spec edition. - Electric models get special Aero wheels. - Rear over-the-shoulder vision is restricted. - Mokka pricing starts at around £25,000. - This revised Mokka can be said to be more appealing, as it has been styled to be in this segment. - 0-62 mph takes nine seconds. - The electric model produces more power with up to 145 PS. - Can achieve 50% EV drive in city traffic.
