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 design over practicality. Its angular, distinctive exterior is matched by an equally jazzy interior with modern touchscreen infotainment and digital instrumentation. Standard equipment is generous across most trim levels, including alloy wheels, air-conditioning, cruise control, LED lighting, and safety features like automatic emergency braking and lane departure warning. However, some interior panels lack quality, and rear headroom can be tight for taller occupants, with small door openings making access awkward.

The driving experience is acceptable but unremarkable. The punchy 1.2-litre petrol engine delivers strong performance, whilst the optional eight-speed automatic gearbox impresses with smooth shifts. The all-electric Mokka-e offers compelling, quiet driving with gentle acceleration. Ride comfort is adequate, though firmer than some rivals, and steering feels slightly odd with slow initial response before becoming overly quick. Fuel economy for petrol versions averages around 45mpg in real-world driving, whilst the diesel achieves approximately 57mpg. The Mokka-e incurs no road tax, offering substantial savings for company car drivers.

Best for: Buyers prioritising distinctive styling and kerbside appeal, those seeking a stylish small SUV with modern technology, and company car drivers considering the electric variant for tax benefits.

Not ideal for: Drivers needing maximum practicality and boot space, those valuing premium interior quality, or buyers seeking the finest driving dynamics in the small SUV segment.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Mokka if: You prioritise distinctive styling and kerbside appeal, seek a stylish small SUV with modern technology, or are a company car driver considering the electric variant for substantial tax benefits.

Consider alternatives if: You need maximum practicality and boot space, value premium interior quality throughout, or seek the finest driving dynamics in the small SUV segment.

Competitive Position: The Vauxhall Mokka (2021-present) stands out in the small SUV market for its funky, eye-catching design and generous standard equipment. However, it faces stiff competition from more accomplished rivals. The Ford Puma edges ahead with superior driving dynamics and expert ratings, whilst the Peugeot 2008 matches the Mokka's value proposition with slightly better user ratings. The Volkswagen T-Cross offers a more conventional alternative with solid all-round credentials. For style-conscious buyers willing to compromise on practicality and driving refinement, the Mokka remains an appealing choice, particularly the electric variant for company car drivers seeking tax efficiency.
