The Vauxhall Mokka II, particularly the facelifted 2024 model with its 54 kWh battery pack delivering 156 horsepower, represents a significant step forward for the British marque in the increasingly competitive subcompact SUV segment. While Vauxhall is a brand primarily known in the United Kingdom and Europe, the Mokka II is a key component of Stellantis’ broader strategy to offer a diverse range of electric vehicles globally. This iteration of the Mokka, launched in late 2024, builds upon the foundation laid by the initial Mokka II, focusing on enhanced efficiency, updated styling, and improved technology. It’s positioned as an accessible entry point into the world of electric vehicles, aiming to appeal to buyers seeking a practical and stylish urban runabout.
Vauxhall Mokka II (Facelift 2024) – An Overview
The 2024 Mokka II facelift is more than just a cosmetic refresh; it incorporates refinements to the powertrain and features to enhance the overall driving experience. The vehicle is built on Stellantis’ Common Modular Platform (CMP), which allows for flexibility in powertrain options, including internal combustion engines, hybrid systems, and fully electric configurations. However, the focus of this particular model is the all-electric variant, powered by a 54 kWh battery. The Mokka II competes with other subcompact electric SUVs such as the Peugeot e-2008, Renault Zoe, and Hyundai Kona Electric, offering a blend of affordability, practicality, and modern styling.
Engine & Performance
At the heart of the 2024 Vauxhall Mokka II Electric is a single electric motor, producing 156 horsepower (Hp) and 260 Nm (191.77 lb.-ft.) of torque. This powertrain delivers brisk acceleration, achieving 0-60 mph in approximately 8.6 seconds and 0-100 km/h in 9 seconds. The top speed is electronically limited to 150 km/h (93.21 mph). The 54 kWh battery provides a usable capacity of 51 kWh, enabling a WLTP-certified all-electric range of up to 402 km (249.79 miles). Energy consumption is rated at 15.3-15.5 kWh per 100 km (24.62 – 24.94 kWh per 100 miles), translating to approximately 6.5 – 6.5 km/kWh (4.1 – 4 mi/kWh) or 137-135 MPGe. The battery utilizes Lithium-ion technology and is strategically located under the floor, optimizing space and lowering the vehicle’s center of gravity. Recuperation output is rated at 339 kW, contributing to increased efficiency during deceleration.
Design & Features
The Mokka II boasts a modern and distinctive exterior design, characterized by a bold front fascia with the signature Vauxhall Vizor grille. The facelifted model features subtle styling updates, including revised headlight and taillight designs. As a subcompact SUV, the Mokka II offers a practical interior layout with seating for five passengers. The trunk space ranges from a minimum of 310 liters (10.95 cu. ft.) to a maximum of 1060 liters (37.43 cu. ft.) with the rear seats folded down. Standard features include ABS (Anti-lock braking system), electric power steering, and a steering rack and pinion system. The vehicle is equipped with 17 or 18-inch wheel rims. The interior is designed with a focus on user-friendliness, incorporating a digital instrument cluster and a touchscreen infotainment system. Safety features are comprehensive, including advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) such as lane departure warning and automatic emergency braking.
