Competitively priced and boasting an innovative elevated driving position, the Vauxhall Mokka X gives buyers on a more modest budget the chance to own a high-riding SUV.
That being said, of course, popularity doesn’t always equal quality—as was proven by the first-generation Mokka, whose heavy discounts and attractive finance offers sometimes belied the drab interior and dissatisfying ride. Thankfully, with styling inspired by Vauxhall’s GT X Experimental and a sleek digitised interior unlike that of any other Vauxhall model, the Mokka X has all the ingredients needed to rustle up a vastly superior driving experience to that of its predecessor.
But before we get into the details, let’s check out its key stats.

Equipment, options and extras
The Vauxhall Mokka X’s entry-level SE trim covers most of your basics: 16in alloy wheels, LED headlights, cruise control, air conditioning, visibility aids, infotainment system. But it’s probably worth paying extra for Elite Nav, which includes a heated steering wheel, heated front seats, automatic windscreen wipers, electronic climate control, a rearview camera, LED front fog lamps, satnav, adaptive cruise control and automatic emergency braking. For a sportier look, we recommend the SRi, with its racy colour scheme and 18in wheels.
Costs, insurance groups, mpg and CO2
The Vauxhall Mokka X’s basic trim undercuts most of its rivals. And while Elite Nav and SRi come with relatively hefty price tags, they’re somewhat offset by their generous equipment offerings. What’s more, with relatively low CO2 emissions, the Mokka X makes a lot of financial sense for company car drivers paying BIK tax.
Safety and security
The Vauxhall Mokka X comes with lane-keeping assistance and automatic emergency braking across the range, as well as adaptive cruise control if you upgrade to the Elite Nav or SRi trims. From the Premium trim up, you’ll also enjoy blind spot monitoring. And while the Mokka X hasn’t yet been tested by the safety experts at Euro NCAP, its rival the Peugeot 2008 uses the same mechanical underpinnings and scored highly on its most recent test.
Reliability
The Vauxhall Mokka X comes with a 3-year or 60,000-mile warranty. That’s average for its class. For comparison, Hyundai and Renault cover for 5 years, and Kia for 7.
The Car Planet verdict
The Vauxhall Mokka X comes with an abundance of equipment and options for personalisation, and there’s a range of frugal engines to choose from. It’s a fabulous car for its class, and compares favourably to its rivals, such as the Škoda Kamiq in terms of space and comfort, and the Ford Puma in terms of fuel efficiency and overall driving experience.
