VAUXHALL MOKKA E VS HYUNDAI KONA ELECTRIC: THE BATTLE OF THE FAMILY EV CROSSOVERS

EV Channels Review

The Vauxhall Mokka-e and Hyundai Kona Electric are pitted against each other in this comparison of family EV crossovers. The Mokka-e impresses with its striking, stylish design, superior handling, and engaging driving dynamics, feeling sportier and more connected. Its dashboard design is also a highlight, offering a more integrated and modern feel. However, it falls short on cabin storage, has questionable brakes, and can feel a bit claustrophobic, particularly in the rear. The Kona Electric, while less exciting in its EV-specific styling, offers greater practicality with a larger boot, better rear passenger space, and more interior storage. Its value proposition is also stronger, especially in lower trims or when considering the larger battery option for the same price as the Mokka-e. The reviewer notes the Kona's refinement issues and a less engaging driving experience compared to the Mokka-e. Ultimately, for families prioritizing practicality, space, and value, the Kona Electric is recommended, especially with the larger battery. However, for those who still enjoy driving and prioritize style and a sporty feel, the Mokka-e is the preferred choice.
