If you want a practical small SUV that offers excellent value for money, the Vauxhall Mokka X could be just what you’re looking for. It has enough space for a family of four to travel comfortably, as well as supportive seats and a smooth ride that help to make journeys comfortable. Every model comes with lots of features as standard and most cost notably less to buy than some similar cars.
The Mokka was first sold in 2012. In late 2016 it was updated with new styling including a different front grille and improved suspension for a more comfortable ride. It was also renamed Mokka X and it’s that model, sold new from 2016 to 2019 that we’re covering here.
You can choose between petrol or diesel engines and manual or automatic gearboxes. Some models also have four-wheel drive. Trim and equipment packages range from the value-focused Active to the top-of-the-range, rather luxurious Ultimate.
The Mokka X was replaced in 2020 by a brand new Mokka that’s also available as a pure-electric model.
Vauxhalls tend to be generously equipped with features and that’s true of the Mokka X. All models have climate control, cruise control, Bluetooth and DAB radio. Many also have sat nav. The top-of-the-range Elite and Ultimate models also have heated steering wheels and heated leather seats.
In models with a petrol engine, the Mokka X can give you an average fuel economy of up to 47mpg, according to official figures, which is right on the money for this type of car. Diesel models can give up to 72mpg – again, very competitive for a small SUV, although models with an automatic gearbox and four-wheel drive dip down to 44mpg. The annual Vehicle Excise Duty(car tax) is at the low end of the scale for most models – in some cases only £20.
Rivals to the Mokka X include the Nissan Juke, Peugeot 2008 and Renault Captur. The Nissan looks more distinctive than the Vauxhall, which may appeal to you, the Peugeot is more fuel efficient and all three feel better to drive. But the Vauxhall gives you an appealing combination of space, comfort and value.
If you have one or two teenage children, the Mokka X has as much space as you’re likely to need. There’s generous space in the front seats whatever size you are and enough space in the back for adults to sit comfortably for a few hours. If you have younger children, be aware that the back doors don’t open very wide, which could make lifting your children in and out of the car a bit tricky.
The boot is a similar size to those found in most mid-size hatchbacks, such as the Vauxhall Astra, so there’s room for a week’s worth of holiday luggage. The back seats fold down if you need to carry anything big and bulky.
For a couple of years, the Mokka/Mokka X was the only SUV that Vauxhall made. The smaller Crossland X and larger Grandland X were introduced later. There’s also the older Antara, a large SUV sold from 2007 to 2015, overlapping with the Mokka for a few years. Of Vauxhall’s non-SUV models, the Astra hatchback is the closest in size to the Mokka.
The Mokka X wasn’t assessed by safety organisation Euro NCAP, but the earlier and very similar Mokka was awarded a full five-star rating. Standard safety features on the Mokka X include seven airbags, anti-lock brakes and stability control.
