Vauxhall will expand its already
broad range later this year with
the addition of the Mokka SUV,
which is available to order from
today at a starting price of
just £16,995.
|
The new model will enter the growing sub-compact SUV B-segment, but
despite its compact 4.28 metre length can accommodate five adults in
comfort. Its key rivals will be cars like the Skoda Yeti and from
Nissan, the Juke and Qashqai. Like all Vauxhalls, the Mokka comes with
Vauxhall Lifetime Warranty.
Available in three trims – S, Exclusiv and SE – the Mokka comes with
generous levels of standard equipment, including DMB (Digital Media
Broadcast) radio, air conditioning, Descent Control System, cruise
control, aux-in and a multi-function trip computer. |

Three engines, ranging in power from
115 to 140PS, will be available from launch. The 1.6-litre petrol
produces 115PS and 155Nm of torque, and with its standard Start/Stop
system delivers a combined 43.5mpg. With 140PS, the 1.4-litre turbo is
the Mokka’s most powerful petrol engine and brings with it standard
four-wheel drive and sub-150g CO2 emissions.
The Mokka has a choice of two diesel
models, both of which use Vauxhall’s 1.7 CDTi 130PS engine, with CO2
emissions as low as 124g/km. In front-wheel drive form, the 1.7 CDTi is
available with a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission,
and with all-wheel drive the Mokka comes with the six-speed manual only.
Like the petrol-powered cars, all manual models have Vauxhall’s
fuel-saving Start/Stop system as standard.
“The Mokka takes its design cues from
larger SUVs and integrates them into a compact, yet modern form,” said
Duncan Aldred, Vauxhall’s Chairman and Managing Director. “We are now
growing a compelling and diverse range of products that appeals both to
retail and fleet customers, and the Mokka will complement this
perfectly.”
Front- or four-wheel drive
transmissions
The Mokka has been designed to perform efficiently in urban
environments, but with the ability to be driven off-road when the need
arises. Both front-wheel drive and four-wheel drive models are
available, with the AWD system being fully adaptive. When the vehicle’s
being driven on smooth, dry surfaces all drive is sent to the front
wheels for maximum efficiency. But when the road surface is slippery, as
much as 50 per cent of the drive automatically and seamlessly is
diverted to the rear axle. The entire AWD system weighs just 65kgs,
benefitting handling and fuel economy.
Mokka brings wide range of new
tech to sub-compact SUV segment
A variety of state-of-the-art driver-assistance systems will be
available in the Mokka. The Vauxhall Front Camera – first seen in the
latest Insignia, and also the new Zafira Tourer – gives drivers access
to Lane Departure Warning, Traffic Sign Recognition, Forward Collision
Alert, as well as a rear-view camera, which works with park-assist
sensors front and rear.
Reinforcing its role as a recreational
car for families, the Mokka also has the option of Vauxhall’s latest
generation FlexFix rear bicycle carrier. The carrier is fully integrated
into the rear bumper, and slides out like a drawer to accept up to three
bicycles at a time. The system even allows easy access to the
tailgate/cargo area when the bikes are on the carrier.
Standard on all Mokkas is a
comprehensive package of safety systems, including Electronic Stability
Control, Traction Control, Hill Start Assist and Hill Descent Control,
providing drivers with reassurance, no matter if they’re on or off-road.
HDC is an excellent ally when a driver is descending a steep hill, when
it determines and limits the speed of the vehicle, meaning that the
brakes need not be applied.
Adding further still to the Mokka’s
comprehensive safety armoury is Vauxhall’s Advanced Adaptive Forward
Lighting (AFL+). This technology automatically adapts the Mokka’s
lighting to suit its driving environment, whether it be motorway,
country, urban, adverse weather, increased full beam, or cornering beam.
The system is also equipped with High Beam Assist, which adjusts the
high beams automatically so that oncoming traffic isn’t dazzled.
Customers can order the Mokka from
today through the Vauxhall retail network. The car will arrive in UK
showrooms in November this year.
