2026 Vauxhall Mokka

The 2026 Vauxhall Mokka GSE is a completely redesigned compact SUV from Vauxhall. The 2026 Vauxhall Mokka is a compact SUV available with electric, semi-electric, and petrol engines. The 2026 Mokka is built on the Stellantis Common Modular Platform (CMP), which also underpins vehicles such as the Peugeot 2008 and Jeep Avenger, allowing for a range of electric vehicle options, including fully electric, semi-electric, and conventional petrol engines. The Vauxhall Mokka features Vauxhall’s “Vizor” front end, a revised “Pure Panel” cockpit with two 10-inch screens, and wireless smartphone connectivity.

The addition of the Vauxhall Mokka to this list is the new all-electric Mokka GSE, Vauxhall’s fastest electric car, offering 280 hp and featuring a rally-inspired design. The standard Mokka-e now offers a range of 252 miles, and a 1.2-liter hybrid option is also available for improved fuel efficiency. The 2026 model, which was first updated in 2025, is praised for its modern looks, comfortable ride, and wide range of engine options, although its rear seats remain cramped.

Inside, the 2026 Vauxhall Mokka GS interior is dominated by the brand’s “Pure Panel” digital cockpit, with a seamless, horizontally expanded instrument panel featuring two wide screens. The system, which typically features two 10-inch screens on updated models, exudes a modern and clean aesthetic, reducing the number of buttons and physical controls. However, Vauxhall has wisely retained the rotary dials and switches for key functions such as climate control, making adjustments easier and less distracting for the driver. The infotainment system has been updated with better software, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, and better voice recognition via ChatGPT on some models.

The Mokka’s cabin prioritizes a stylish, driver-focused design and feels well-built, although some areas use hard plastics that can’t match the quality feel of rivals like the Peugeot 2008. Front passengers will find plenty of headroom and legroom, as well as suitable storage solutions, including a smartphone tray that supports wireless charging in high-riding cars. However, the rear is tight, with limited knee and headroom for tall adults and limited storage space. While the 350-litre boot is more than adequate for everyday shopping, it’s smaller than most competitors in the compact SUV segment.

2026 Vauxhall Mokka : Engine

The 2026 Vauxhall Mokka Hybrid offers a diverse engine range, including electric, semi-electric, and petrol options to appeal to a range of customers. For those looking to drive without generating electricity, the Mokka Electric is powered by a 54 kWh lithium-ion battery and a 156 PS (115 kW) electric motor, providing a WLTP-certified range of up to 252 miles.

The high-performance 2026 GSE version takes the electric powertrain to the next level with a 280 hp (207 kW) electric motor, sports suspension, and a mechanical limited-slip differential for a 0–62 mph time of just 5.9 seconds. For drivers not yet ready for a fully electric vehicle, the Mokka also offers efficient and reliable interior heating options. The 1.2-liter Turbo petrol engine is available with 136 PS output and a six-speed manual gearbox or a 130 PS version with an 8-speed automatic transmission.

These three-cylinder engines are known for being incredibly responsive and quiet at cruising speeds. A new option is the Mokka Hybrid, which combines a 1.2-litre petrol engine with a 48V system and a 28 hp electric motor, improving fuel efficiency by allowing limited electric driving at low speeds. This powertrain comes mated to an e-DCT6 with a six-speed automatic gearbox and produces 136 PS.

2026 Vauxhall Mokka : Safety

The 2026 Vauxhall Mokka is awarded a four-star safety rating by Euro NCAP in 2021, a rating that applies to all current powertrains. Vauxhall Mokka 2026 GSE comes with a full range of standard safety features, including six airbags, automatic emergency braking (AEB) with pedestrian detection, lane departure warning with lane keeping assist, speed sign recognition, driver drowsiness warning, and a standard speed limiter. Higher trim levels like the Ultimate add advanced systems like adaptive cruise control, side blind spot warning, and advanced Intelli-Lux Matrix LED headlights that can shape their beam to avoid dazzling other drivers. The four-star rating reflects good performance in crash tests for adult and child protection, but notes the lack of a central airbag to prevent interaction between passengers in a collision with the road, and the lack of recognition of the basic AEB system by Vauxhall Mokka passengers.
