Vauxhall reveals petrol options for the new Mokka

Vauxhall has revealed details of the advanced petrol options that will power the all new Mokka, pairing with the recently unveiled electric-only Mokka-e.

The design of the Mokka features stunning proportions and captivating precision with bold looks characterised by short overhangs and a wide, well-planted stance. The newcomer also stands out as the first model that features the future brand face and next generation fully digital cockpit: the Vauxhall Vizor and Pure Panel, respectively.

In the cabin, a horizontally stretched instrument panel integrates two widescreen displays; the one in front of the driver measuring up to 12 inches.

The intuitive system is designed to keep the driver's focus on the road and Vauxhall's designers have retained separate controls for essential functions, avoiding hazardous exploration into sub-menus.

Two lively yet economical petrol engines options are offered, deliver power outputs of 99bhp and 134bhp.

Maximum torque of the 99bhp 1.2-litre is 205Nm, while the top 134bhp 1.2-litre unit develops 230Nm. Vauxhall claims that at least 95% of the maximum torque from both engines will be available between 1,500rpm and 3,750rpm, which combines with a low vehicle weight and optimised gear ratios to deliver good driveability.

The 134bhp option is paired with either a six-speed manual or an eight-speed automatic transmission for a maximum speed of 201km/h, with a zero to 100km/h sprint time of just 9.2 seconds.

The 99bhp model meanwhile is available with a six-speed manual transmission, and has a top speed of 181km/h while completing the century sprint in around 11 seconds.

The Mokka stays true to Vauxhall's brand-defining tradition of making innovative technologies from higher vehicle classes available to a wide range of buyers. These include Advanced Driver Assist Systems such as Adaptive Cruise Control and Active Lane Positioning Assistant.

The lighting system also features state-of-the-art technologies with the adaptive and glare-free IntelliLux LED matrix light featuring 14 elements, unique in the category. All Mokka models feature standard LED lamps at the front and rear, an electric parking brake as well as traffic sign recognition. A 180-degree panoramic rear-view camera is also available.
