Vauxhall Mokka (2021-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Funky to look at	Not the most practical car of its type
Punchy petrol engine	Some interior panels don't impress on quality
Most trim levels have decent kit	Many rivals are better on the road

Quick Summary

The second-generation Vauxhall Mokka (2021-present) aims to stand out in the crowded mini-SUV market with its edgy, distinctive styling, marking a significant departure from its predecessor. While no longer positioned as a budget option, it offers an equally stylish interior and a good level of standard equipment. It's available with a range of petrol, diesel, and all-electric Mokka-e powertrains, with the more powerful 1.2-litre petrol engine delivering strong, fizzy performance, and the Mokka-e providing a quiet, considered electric drive.

While the Mokka delivers decent control and crisp handling, the ride can be a bit firm, and the steering is noted as slightly odd. Practicality is acceptable but not class-leading, offering 350 litres of boot space (310 litres for the Mokka-e) and some compromises for taller rear passengers. Running costs are competitive, with petrol engines achieving around 45mpg and diesels closer to 57mpg, while the Mokka-e benefits from no road tax and significant company car savings. It presents a stylish and well-equipped package, especially for those prioritising aesthetics over ultimate practicality or driving refinement.

Best for: Drivers prioritising distinctive styling, those seeking a well-equipped mini-SUV, or buyers looking for an affordable electric option with low running costs (Mokka-e).

Not ideal for: Buyers who need class-leading practicality, the most refined ride, or the finest driving dynamics, or those who prefer a more premium interior build quality throughout.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Mokka if: You prioritise distinctive styling, a well-equipped package, and competitive running costs in a mini-SUV, including an affordable electric option.

Consider alternatives if: You require class-leading practicality, a more premium interior feel, or the ultimate in driving refinement and ride comfort.

Competitive Position: The Vauxhall Mokka (2021-present) stands out in the compact SUV segment primarily through its bold, distinctive styling and a comprehensive list of standard equipment. While it offers a range of efficient powertrains, including an appealing Mokka-e, its interior quality and practicality don't quite match the best in class. It's a strong contender for buyers seeking kerbside appeal and good value for money, though rivals might offer a more polished driving experience or superior space.
