A VAUXHALL MOKKA-E YOU'LL ACTUALLY LIKE!

EV Channels Review

The Vauxhall Mokka-e, despite a name the reviewer dislikes, presents a surprisingly appealing package, particularly in its "new" generation. The design is highlighted as a significant improvement, with the reviewer finding it attractive and a departure from previous Vauxhall aesthetics. Positives include its good looks, functional aero vents, and a comfortable interior, especially in the "top spec" trim tested. However, the reviewer notes practical drawbacks such as a cramped rear for adults due to a transmission tunnel, a small glove box, and a frustrating infotainment system with lag, though Android Auto/Apple CarPlay mitigate this. The boot space is adequate but smaller than petrol/diesel versions. On the road, the ride is described as soft, akin to a "waterbed," which suits relaxed driving but lacks engagement. The primary criticism is the intense competition in its price bracket, making it difficult to stand out. While acknowledging its appeal to a specific demographic (retired couples, those seeking a second car, or families with young children), the reviewer ultimately suggests other competitors, like the Peugeot e-2008, offer a slightly more compelling proposition, particularly in terms of aesthetics and interior flair, despite the Mokka-e's competitive pricing and acceptable range.
