► Tweaked Vauxhall Mokka revealed
► New tech inside and simplified range
► Mild hybrid and EV versions available
Vauxhall has updated its Mokka crossover, introducing some new bits of tech and tweaked powertrain options.
The updated model doesn’t look all that different, which is a good thing to our eyes – Vauxhall’s Mokka marked a start for the brand’s design renaissance and, three years on, it still looks funky and modern. In the images provided, a new teal body colour and wheel design are available.
In bigger update news, the interior has had a going over, introducing some more modern technology. Despite being a new-age Stellantis model, the original Mokka was dogged with still using the old, clunky PSA infotainment; that’s now gone in favour of the system first seen in the Astra.
That tech is displayed on a 10-inch driver display and separate touchscreen, and includes details like a customisable layout, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and more advanced voice control that uses ChatGPT. We’ve tried the same tech in a DS here.
The range has been simplified, too. Vauxhall says that the spec options consist of Design, GS and Ultimate trims with no option packs to muddle the buying process, and you can either choose a mild hybrid petrol engine (badged as Mokka Hybrid) or the Mokka Electric version. The former is the same powertrain seen in other Stellantis products; a 134bhp mild hybrid three-cylinder mated to a new six-speed dual-clutch transmission (hurrah – the old eight-speed auto was so dim-witted), while the EV model claims up to 250 miles on a charge.
The new(ish) Mokka is available to order from 6 November 2024.
