XHALL motors T
he Vauxhall Mokka Tech Line will enter the growing sub-compact SUV B-segment, but despite its compact 4.28 metre length can accommodate
fi ve adults in comfort. Its key rival will be the Nissan Qashqai although some customers may well view the Mokka as a competitor to the Juke and the Skoda Yeti. The Mokka comes with very generous
levels of standard equipment, including the Navi 600 satellite navigation system, DMB radio, Bluetooth and USB connectivity, 18 inch alloy wheels and cruise control. This is on top of air conditioning, Descent Control System, 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 appeal both
to retail and fl eet customers, and the Mokka will complement this perfectly.” “An array of eye-catching standard features
paired with exceptional P11D values make the new Mokka Tech Line really stand out from the competition,” said James Taylor, fl eet sales director. The Mokka has been designed to perform
effi ciently 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 effi ciency. 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. 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. This technology automatically adapts the
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 traffi c isn’t dazzled.
