The Vauxhall Mokka II 50 kWh Electric is a battery electric subcompact SUV produced by the British manufacturer Vauxhall, a subsidiary of Stellantis. Introduced in September 2020 as part of the second generation Mokka lineup, it represents Vauxhall’s entry into the increasingly competitive all-electric small SUV segment. While Vauxhall is a British brand, the Mokka II was designed with a pan-European market in mind, and is closely related to the Opel Mokka-e, reflecting the shared engineering within the Stellantis group. The Mokka II Electric, with its 50 kWh battery pack, offers a balance of range, performance, and affordability, targeting urban and suburban drivers seeking a practical and environmentally conscious vehicle.
Vauxhall Mokka II Electric: Overview and Market Position
The Mokka II marked a significant departure from its predecessor, adopting a bolder, more modern design language. The electric variant, specifically the 50 kWh model, is positioned as an accessible entry point into electric vehicle ownership. It competes with other subcompact electric SUVs such as the Peugeot e-2008, Hyundai Kona Electric, and Renault Zoe. Unlike some competitors that offer multiple battery size options, the initial Mokka II Electric focused on a single, strategically chosen battery capacity to optimize cost and weight. Production continued until 2024, with the model undergoing minor revisions during its lifecycle.
Engine & Performance
The Mokka II 50 kWh Electric is powered by a single electric motor, designated ZK01, producing 136 horsepower (Hp) and 260 Nm (191.77 lb.-ft.) of torque. This front-wheel-drive configuration delivers brisk acceleration, achieving 0-60 mph in approximately 8.7 seconds and 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) in 9.2 seconds. The vehicle’s top speed is electronically limited to 93.21 mph (150 km/h). The powertrain utilizes a single-speed automatic transmission, typical of electric vehicles, providing seamless and linear power delivery. The battery, a lithium-ion unit, has a gross capacity of 50 kWh, with a usable capacity of 45 kWh. This provides a WLTP-certified all-electric range of 323-336 km (200.7 – 208.78 mi). Energy consumption is rated at 15.8-17.8 kWh per 100 km (25.43 – 28.65 kWh per 100 mi), translating to an efficiency of 133-118 MPGe or 6.3 – 5.6 km/kWh (3.9 – 3.5 mi/kWh).
Design & Features
The Mokka II boasts a distinctive exterior design characterized by a bold “Vizor” front fascia, a black panel integrating the headlights and Vauxhall grille. The SUV body style provides a practical and spacious interior for five passengers. The interior features a modern dashboard layout with a focus on digital displays. Key features include a touchscreen infotainment system, compatibility with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a range of driver-assistance systems. Safety features include ABS (Anti-lock braking system) and various driver aids designed to enhance safety and convenience. The trunk offers 310 liters (10.95 cu. ft.) of space with the rear seats up, expanding to 1060 liters (37.43 cu. ft.) when folded down. The vehicle’s compact dimensions – 4151 mm (163.43 in.) in length, 1791 mm (70.51 in.) in width, and 1531 mm (60.28 in.) in height – make it well-suited for navigating urban environments.
