The model
Read full reviewThe Vauxhall Mokka has lots of equipment and plenty of personalisation options, and there's a range of frugal and efficient engines to choose from. There are more well-rounded choices in the small SUV class, though. The Skoda Kamiq, for example, is more spacious and comfortable, while the excellent Ford Puma is more exciting to drive and should be cheaper to run.

See full equipmentSRi trim gets sporty highlights such as 18in bi-colour alloy wheels and a black roof, along with more useful kit such as adaptive cruise control, lane positioning assist (only on autos), rain-sensitive wipers, heated front seats, electronic climate control, LED front fog lights, rear parking sensors and a rear-view camera.
The engine
See full engine specsWith 129bhp the Mokka will accelerate from 0-60mph in a perfectly reasonable 9.1 seconds. There’s also plenty of grunt at low revs and it’ll whisk you up to motorway speeds with little stress. As standard both petrols come with a six-speed manual gearbox, but the 130 Turbo comes with the option of an eight-speed automatic.
