Vauxhall's revamped Mokka model offers an appealing culinary experience
Chill out and indulge in a delightful modern take on the classic morning spread - a refreshing orange juice and a rich, robust cappuccino. If you're like me, though, you're probably more fascinated by the vibrant and captivating Vauxhall Mokka that shares its name with that rich mocha coffee.
While it hasn't quite served up coffee on the go like the one-off Mokka Coffee-E electric model last year, its allure doesn't disappoint. The Mokka comes in various trim levels, including Design, GS, and Ultimate, and is offered in an array of powertrains - petrol, hybrid, and even a battery-powered, zero-emissions Mokka Electric.
Recently, I had the pleasure of testing out the Mokka's 136hp GS Hybrid model, which features a dynamic combination of a three-cylinder petrol engine and an electric motor. This electrified ride boasts an automatic dual-clutch six-speed gearbox and promises decent acceleration, reaching 60mph in 8.2 seconds, with a top speed of 129mph. It also boasts promising fuel economy of up to 58.9mpg, with CO2 emissions of 110g/km.
My Mokka came equipped with 18-inch wheels, making it a smooth and enjoyable drive. The car also offers drivers three driving modes - eco, normal, and sport - with the sport mode providing the most exhilarating ride. My Mokka was also quite well-appointed, offering hill start assist, electronic climate control, and an impressive panoramic rear-view camera.
While my lively chariot was well-stocked, I did find one minor issue: it lacked a built-in navigation system in its standard configuration. This meant I had to resort to the old-fashioned road atlas for my journey. Now, I know some might argue that this has become a matter of preference, but as someone who doesn't have a smartphone, this was a bit of a challenge for me. It seems that over 70% of all Vauxhall cars are sold featuring built-in navigation as standard[3].
Despite this setback, the Mokka remains an impressive and enjoyable ride. If you're a fan of both coffee and cars, you won't be disappointed with this dynamic little vehicle!

In 2025, you might find yourself cruising around in a caffeine-inspired lifestyle with the Vauxhall Mokka, a car as robust and captivating as a rich mocha coffee. While it won't serve coffee on the go like the Mokka Coffee-E, its diversity in trim levels and powertrains, including hybrid, will provide an exhilarating experience. Sipping on your morning cappuccino, you'll be delighted by the sporty 136hp GS Hybrid model's acceleration and fuel efficiency, while indulging in the latest gadgets and technology it offers. However, it's worth noting that a built-in navigation system isn't standard, creating a minor challenge for those without smartphones. Regardless, the Mokka remains an enchanting blend of cars and coffee culture, perfect for any sports enthusiast.
