The Vauxhall Mokka II 1.2 Turbo (136 Hp) Mild Hybrid e-DCT represents the second generation of Vauxhall’s popular subcompact SUV, launched in May 2024. Positioned within the highly competitive B-segment SUV market, the Mokka II aims to offer a blend of style, efficiency, and technology. This particular variant utilizes a mild hybrid powertrain, combining a 1.2-liter turbocharged gasoline engine with a 48-volt electrical system to enhance fuel economy and reduce emissions. While Vauxhall is a British brand, the Mokka II is part of the Stellantis group and shares its platform with other European models like the Opel Mokka and Peugeot 2008. The Mokka II is not currently sold in the United States, but it is a significant model in the European market, competing with vehicles like the Renault Captur, Nissan Juke, and Volkswagen T-Cross.
Vauxhall Mokka II: An Overview
The Mokka II marks a significant departure from its predecessor in terms of design and technology. The second generation boasts a more modern and angular exterior, along with a completely redesigned interior featuring the Pure Panel, a large dual-screen display integrating the infotainment and instrument cluster. The introduction of a mild hybrid option underscores Vauxhall’s commitment to electrification and meeting increasingly stringent emissions regulations. The e-DCT transmission further enhances the driving experience by providing smooth and efficient gear changes.
Engine & Performance
At the heart of the Mokka II 1.2 Turbo Mild Hybrid e-DCT lies a 1.2-liter inline three-cylinder gasoline engine, designated EB2LTDH2. This engine produces 136 horsepower at 5500 rpm and 230 Nm (169.64 lb.-ft.) of torque at 1750 rpm, resulting in a power-to-liter ratio of 113.4 hp/l. The engine is turbocharged and intercooled, enhancing its efficiency and responsiveness. The “Mild Hybrid” designation refers to a 48-volt system that assists the engine during acceleration and allows for extended periods of engine-off coasting, improving fuel economy. The electric motor, integrated into the transmission, contributes an additional 28 horsepower and 55 Nm (40.57 lb.-ft.) of torque. Power is delivered to the front wheels via a six-speed e-DCT (efficient Dual-Clutch Transmission) automatic gearbox. This powertrain configuration allows the Mokka II to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 8.4 seconds and achieve a maximum speed of 126.76 mph (204 km/h). Combined fuel consumption is rated at 48 US mpg (4.9 l/100 km), with CO2 emissions ranging from 109-110 g/km, meeting Euro 6d emission standards.
Design & Features
The Vauxhall Mokka II is a five-door, five-seat SUV characterized by its bold and distinctive exterior styling. The front fascia features the “Vizor” grille, a signature design element of recent Vauxhall models. The vehicle’s overall length is 163.43 inches (4151 mm), with a width of 70.51 inches (1791 mm) and a height of 60.28 inches (1531 mm). The wheelbase measures 100.83 inches (2561 mm). Inside, the Mokka II prioritizes a modern and minimalist aesthetic. The Pure Panel dominates the dashboard, providing a seamless interface for the infotainment system and driver information display. Standard and available features include advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) such as automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, and adaptive cruise control. The trunk offers a minimum capacity of 12.36 cubic feet (350 liters), expanding to 39.02 cubic feet (1105 liters) with the rear seats folded down. The fuel tank capacity is 11.62 US gallons (44 liters).
