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 Vauxhall Mokka (2021-present) is a stylish small SUV that prioritises eye-catching angular design and kerbside appeal. The second-generation model improves upon its predecessor with better driving dynamics, a more upmarket interior, and generous standard equipment across most trim levels. It offers a range of petrol, diesel, and all-electric powertrains, with the punchy 128bhp petrol engine delivering strong performance and the Mokka-e providing a compelling zero-emission option. Boot space of 350 litres is reasonable, though the high lip and limited rear door openings reduce practicality compared to some rivals.

Running costs are competitive, with petrol versions achieving around 45mpg in real-world driving and the diesel reaching approximately 57mpg. The Mokka-e offers significant tax advantages for company car drivers, with benefit-in-kind rates as low as 2% compared to 29-31% for combustion-engined versions. However, interior build quality is inconsistent, with some cheap plastics letting down the otherwise jazzy design. The driving experience is acceptable but not exceptional, with slightly odd steering characteristics and a ride that can feel firm over rough surfaces. Most trim levels come well-equipped with modern infotainment and safety features as standard.

Best for: Style-conscious buyers seeking a distinctive small SUV, company car drivers (especially those choosing the electric version), and those prioritising modern technology and equipment over ultimate practicality.

Not ideal for: Buyers requiring maximum interior space and practicality, those seeking the finest driving dynamics, or those concerned about interior build quality and durability.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Mokka if: You prioritise distinctive styling and modern technology, are a company car driver seeking tax advantages (especially with the electric version), or want a well-equipped small SUV with punchy performance.

Consider alternatives if: You require maximum interior space and practicality, seek the finest driving dynamics, or are concerned about interior build quality and durability.

Competitive Position: The Vauxhall Mokka (2021-present) stands out in the small SUV market through its bold, angular design and comprehensive standard equipment. However, it faces stiff competition from the Ford Puma, which scores higher across all ratings and offers superior driving dynamics. The Volkswagen T-Cross and Peugeot 2008 provide comparable alternatives, with the Peugeot offering exceptional value with over 52% good or great deals available. Whilst the Mokka excels in style and technology, buyers prioritising practicality, driving engagement, or interior quality may find stronger options elsewhere in the segment.
