VAUXHALL MOKKA-E FIRST DRIVE

EV Channels Review

The Vauxhall Mokka-e is presented as a compelling option in the compact electric SUV segment, with the reviewer expressing a strong liking for its driving dynamics, mature feel, and user-friendly controls, including actual physical knobs. Key positives highlighted are the adaptive cruise control's flawless operation and the surprisingly comfortable rear seating. The vehicle's range is deemed adequate, falling within the reviewer's preferred 150-200 mile sweet spot, with a realistic expectation of 180+ miles on a full charge. The 100kW rapid charging capability is also praised for its speed, adding significant range in minutes rather than hours. However, the primary criticism revolves around its pricing; the Mokka-e is significantly more expensive than its petrol counterpart, a disparity the reviewer finds increasingly difficult to justify. Despite this cost concern, the reviewer concludes by stating the Mokka-e is their favorite compact SUV driven recently, praising its overall package while questioning the manufacturer's pricing strategy.
