Second-Hand Vauxhall Mokka
Used Vauxhall Mokka
Small crossovers can be fun and fashionable as well as practical and versatile, just like the Vauxhall Mokka. The Vauxhall Mokka has made its own space in the small SUV Crossover market, with its boyish good looks being a major factor of what sells the car. Spec levels are good too and the engine range is impressive. You can choose from a 1.6-litre petrol 2WD unit, 1.4 litre petrol turbo 4WD or a 1.7-litre diesel unit that gives you the option of either 2WD or 4WD. It comes with a relatively low price tag compared to many of its competitors, which should help to draw people in. If that doesn’t do it, its stylish appearance may just be enough.
What You Get
Underneath, it is all standard supermini, based on the GM Aveo platform. In the back, wide opening doors aid accessibility while a rising waistline gives a purposeful stance. Inside, the cabin is more conservative than its rivals. The car itself is reasonably comfortable, and it’s slightly raised driving position allows you to clearly see the road. There are several storage compartments inside, so you’ll have plenty of room to keep things safe. What’s more, although the rear seats don’t slide, you can push the bases forward and fold down the backs so that you have an extended cargo bay.
How it Drives
The Vauxhall Mokka does not quite deliver big SUV style performance. The 1.7-litre diesel engine is probably the best all-rounder, available in either the 2WD or 4WD versions and delivering 130PS which will take you to 60mph in around 10 seconds and on to a top speed of 116mph. Body roll is well controlled, and although not the sharpest handler, a used Vauxhall Mokka delivers more than enough performance for most drivers of this type of car.
