Vauxhall has revealed a significant update to its Mokka Electric electric vehicle (EV), featuring a refreshed design to its new electric compact SUV in the United Kingdom (UK) with new price reductions in Germany.  

Notably, the Mokka Electric is sold under the Vauxhall brand in the United Kingdom (UK) market while in the European market, it is under the Opel brand. According to Stellantis, the automaker has streamlined its powertrain offerings, discontinuing the 100 kW variant and exclusively offering the more powerful 115 kW electric motor paired with a 54 kWh battery. This configuration delivers a WLTP range of 403 km (250 miles) and supports DC fast charging at up to 100 kW, enabling a 10$ to 80% charge in 27 minutes.

With the 115 kW (156 hp) motor producing 260 Nm of torque, it enables an acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 9.0 seconds and a top speed of 150 km/h (93 mph). The Mokka Electric will be offered in simplified “Design,” “GS,” and “Ultimate” trim levels, with customers simply choosing their preferred trim, powertrain, and color.

The exterior refresh introduces the brand’s modern design language while maintaining the distinctive Vizor front fascia. Notable updates include new LED lighting with three “light blocks” at both front and rear, replacing the previous single-line design. The vehicle features a black design line running from the hood to the rear above the side windows, and in keeping with the company’s “Greenovation” approach, chrome elements have been eliminated entirely.

For the interior, the Mokka Electric receives a comprehensive update with a new flat-bottomed steering wheel and a decluttered center console. The cockpit now features dual 10-inch displays as standard – one for driver information and another touchscreen for infotainment.

Moreover, the new system includes natural voice recognition, wireless smartphone connectivity, and a 180-degree HD rear-view camera. In line with sustainability goals, all interior fabrics incorporate recycled materials.

“Our new Vauxhall Mokka is bold, pure, and unmistakable. A car full of character that stands out in the crowd,” stated James Taylor, Managing Director at Vauxhall. He noted that combined with the Corsa Electric, the Mokka has helped Vauxhall become the leading brand for electric sales in the B-segment.
