The Vauxhall Mokka II (facelift 2024) 1.2 Turbo (136 Hp) Mild Hybrid e-DCT represents the latest iteration of Vauxhall’s popular subcompact SUV. Introduced in November 2024, this model builds upon the foundation of the second-generation Mokka, launched in 2021, with a focus on enhanced efficiency and updated styling. While Vauxhall is a British brand, the Mokka II is primarily marketed and sold across Europe, where the subcompact SUV segment is particularly strong. This facelifted version incorporates mild hybrid technology to improve fuel economy and reduce emissions, aligning with increasingly stringent European regulations. The Mokka II competes with vehicles like the Nissan Juke, Renault Captur, and Peugeot 2008.
Vauxhall Mokka II (facelift 2024): Overview and Enhancements
The Mokka II facelift introduces subtle but significant changes to the exterior and interior design, alongside the integration of a 48-volt mild hybrid system. This powertrain combines a 1.2-liter turbocharged gasoline engine with an electric motor and a small battery, providing a boost during acceleration and enabling smoother start-stop operation. The update aims to appeal to buyers seeking a stylish, practical, and fuel-efficient urban vehicle. The Mokka II maintains its distinctive bold front-end design, characterized by the ‘Vizor’ grille, while incorporating updated lighting elements and interior trim options.
Engine & Performance
The heart of the Mokka II (facelift 2024) 1.2 Turbo Mild Hybrid e-DCT is a 1.2-liter inline three-cylinder turbocharged gasoline engine. This engine produces 136 horsepower at 5500 rpm and 230 Nm (169.64 lb.-ft.) of torque at 1750 rpm, offering a good balance of power and efficiency. The power-to-weight ratio is 113.4 Hp/l. The mild hybrid system, utilizing a 48-volt lithium-ion battery and a 28 Hp electric motor, provides assistance during acceleration and allows for extended coasting with the engine off. The electric motor is integrated into the transmission. This configuration results in a combined fuel consumption of 4.9 l/100 km (48 US mpg / 57.6 UK mpg / 20.4 km/l) and CO2 emissions of 109-110 g/km (Euro 6e emission standard). The powertrain is coupled with a six-speed e-DCT (dual-clutch transmission) automatic gearbox, delivering smooth and responsive gear changes. Performance figures include a 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) acceleration time of 8.2 seconds and a 0-60 mph time of 7.8 seconds, with a maximum speed of 208 km/h (129.25 mph).
Design & Features
The Vauxhall Mokka II is a five-door, five-seat SUV characterized by its compact dimensions and modern styling. The exterior design features the signature Vauxhall ‘Vizor’ front grille, which integrates the headlights and daytime running lights. The facelifted model incorporates updated LED lighting technology for improved visibility and a more contemporary look. Inside, the Mokka II offers a spacious and well-appointed cabin with a focus on ergonomics and technology. Key features include a digital instrument cluster, a touchscreen infotainment system, and a range of driver-assistance systems. Safety features include ABS (Anti-lock braking system) and a comprehensive suite of active safety technologies. The trunk offers 350 liters (12.36 cu. ft.) of space with the rear seats up, expanding to 1105 liters (39.02 cu. ft.) when folded down. The vehicle has a fuel tank capacity of 42 liters (11.1 US gal / 9.24 UK gal).
