Introduced in September 2020 and continuing through August 2023, the Mokka II represents the second generation of the Mokka model line. This iteration marked a significant departure from its predecessor, featuring a completely new platform, a more modern design, and a focus on improved fuel efficiency and technology. While primarily marketed in Europe, understanding its specifications provides insight into the evolving landscape of small SUVs and diesel engine technology within that market. The Mokka II aimed to compete with popular vehicles like the Nissan Juke, Renault Captur, and Peugeot 2008.
Vauxhall Mokka II: An Overview
The Mokka II was a key model in Vauxhall’s lineup, designed to appeal to buyers seeking a stylish and practical urban vehicle. The “Turbo D” designation indicates a diesel engine with turbocharging, offering a balance between fuel economy and performance. This particular variant, producing 110 horsepower, was positioned as an efficient and affordable option within the Mokka II range. The vehicle’s design language, known as “Vizor,” featured a bold front fascia and a contrasting roof color, contributing to its distinctive appearance. The Mokka II represented a move upmarket for the Mokka nameplate, with a greater emphasis on interior quality and available technology.
Engine & Performance
The heart of the Mokka II 1.5 Turbo D is a 1.5-liter inline four-cylinder diesel engine, designated the F15DT. This engine produces 110 horsepower at 3,500 rpm and 250 Nm (184.39 lb.-ft.) of torque at 1,750 rpm. The turbocharger and intercooler work in conjunction to enhance power output and efficiency. The engine’s power-to-liter ratio is 73.4 hp/l. Power is delivered to the front wheels via a six-speed manual transmission. Acceleration from 0 to 60 mph takes 10.8 seconds, and the vehicle has a maximum speed of 190 km/h (118.06 mph). The engine incorporates a Diesel Commonrail fuel injection system and a DOHC valvetrain with variable valve timing (VVT) for optimized performance and reduced emissions. The inclusion of a Start & Stop system and a particulate filter further contributes to its environmental credentials, meeting Euro 6d emission standards.
