Electric plus emission-free plus energetic equals the new
Vauxhall Mokka. The British Brand now reveals the second generation of its
compact bestseller, a powerful, completely new Mokka that perfectly combines
fun and modernity. It is capable of zero emission electric driving, it is
highly efficient and more compact than ever – perfectly tuned for the town and
motorway.
“New Mokka is the start of a new direction for the Vauxhall
Brand. A bold new design with elements like Vauxhall Vizor and Pure Panel that
will become part of signature look for future models. It also encompasses
everything that Vauxhall will define in the future. Fully electric from launch
and packed with innovative technologies bringing the best of automotive
mobility to all. Vauxhall may be Britain’s oldest car manufacturer but with New
Mokka it is defining itself to lead in an exciting and innovative future,” said
Stephen Norman, Managing Director, Vauxhall Motors.
Despite a slightly longer wheelbase (+2 mm), the new
Vauxhall Mokka is 12.5 cm shorter than the previous generation while offering
its five passengers a similar loading space of up to 350 litres in its luggage
compartment. Its total length of only 4.15 metres makes it super-easy to
manoeuvre and park in urban and suburban areas. The design of the new Mokka
surprises with stunning proportions and captivating precision from its overall,
bold looks characterised by short overhangs and a well-planted, wide stance,
down to the smallest detail. 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 the Vauxhall Pure Panel, respectively. Neither analogic
displays nor fancy, useless decorative
animations: The experience is clear and clean, the
information provided is focused on what is really needed. Detoxed. The
horizontally stretched instrument panel integrates two widescreen displays; the
one in front of the driver is up to 12 inches in size. However, to allow
intuitive usage and the driver’s continuous focus on the road, Vauxhall
designers kept control buttons for essential functions, avoiding hazardous
exploration into sub-menus.
The new Mokka continues Vauxhall's tradition of opening up
innovative technologies from upper classes to a wide range of buyers. These
include advanced systems such as ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control), with Stop and
Go function will enable the driver to endure traffic jams in a light-hearted,
cool way: the electric Mokka-e can automatically adjust its speed to that of
the preceding vehicle without requiring any operation on the brake or the
accelerator. In addition, an Active Lane Positioning system automatically keeps
the new Mokka in the centre of a lane. The lighting system too offers
premium-class technologies with the adaptive and therefore glare-free
IntelliLux LED® matrix light with 14 elements, unique in the category. All
Mokka model variants come standard with LED headlights 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.
The new Mokka is based on a new version of the company's
highly efficient multi-energy platform CMP (Common Modular Platform). This
lightweight and efficient modular system offers maximum flexibility in vehicle
development and allows the use of a purely battery-electric drive as well as
internal combustion engines. The customer has the choice. The engineering team
has particularly worked on significant weight reduction on one hand, saving up
to 120 kg vs the previous generation, and enhancing the body stiffness on the
other, gaining up to 30% torsional stiffness in the case of the electric
version with its low-mounted, integrated battery structure. The benefits are
obvious: the new Mokka consumes substantially less energy, while being much
more responsive, agile and fun to drive.
For the first time in Vauxhall’s history, the new Mokka will
be available from the first day with an all-electric variant. Driving the
Mokka-e combines emission-free operation with an exhilarating experience. The
electric motor delivers 100 kW (136 hp) and 260 Newton metres of maximum
torque, immediately available from a standing start. Fast reactions, agility
and dynamics are among the outstanding characteristics. Drivers can choose
between three drive modes – Normal, Eco and Sport – for a good balance or the
most
fun, depending on their preferences. The top speed is
electronically limited to 93mph to preserve the energy stored in the 50 kWh
battery and the range. A 100 kW DC fast-charging system allowing charging 80%
of the battery in just 30 minutes is standard equipment. The Vauxhall Mokka-e has
a purely battery-electric range of up to 201 miles according to WLTP1 in Normal
mode, while the Eco mode supports the driver in achieving the maximum possible
range. Whether wall box, high-speed charging or cable solution for the
household socket: The new Mokka-e is ready for all charging options, from
single-phase to three-phase at 11 kW. It is also covered by an eight-year
warranty for the battery.
1 Preliminary
Customers can look forward to a very energetic, fun and
agile new generation Mokka. It will be on sale from late summer 2020 and
available in Retailers from early 2021. The newcomer will also be offered with
particularly efficient diesel and petrol engines.
Clear structure: New Vauxhall brand face and cockpit design
In the second generation, the Mokka’s name is again simply
Mokka, just like at its debut in 2012. “Bold and pure is our consistent
mantra”, says Vauxhall MD Stephen Norman. For the first time at Vauxhall, the
model name proudly spreads out in the centre of the rear panel, using a new,
precisely chiselled techy font. When the first Mokka was launched, it surprised
with its compact dimensions and tough appearance. The new Mokka is even more
compact and robust, in a highly progressive way: extra efficient, pure and
bold, with dramatically shorter overhangs (-61 mm in the front, -66 mm in the
rear), 10 additional millimetres in width and a visually stretched silhouette
for perfect proportions. Its compact size and general appearance make the
18-inch wheels look more impressively powerful than ever.
The Mokka is also the first model to show Vauxhall’s new,
unmistakable brand front fascia: the Vauxhall Vizor. Extending across the
entire front of the vehicle below the bonnet, the Vauxhall Vizor is an elegant
module that horizontally frames brand features such as the latest-generation
IntelliLux LED® matrix headlights and the typical wing signature of the LED
daytime running lights, proudly punctuated in its centre by the legendary
Vauxhall Griffin. The Vauxhall Vizor invented by the team around design chief
Mark Adams will featured on all of the Brand's models throughout the 2020s.
“Bold and Pure, this is what Vauxhall’s design of the future
will look like. The new Mokka shows athletic proportions combined with
precisely structured, flowing surfaces. We have developed this philosophy to
create a Design with progressive Bold personality combined with Purity”,
explained Vauxhall Design Vice President, Mark Adams.
This philosophy continues in the interior, where the anchor
is the Pure Panel, which repeats the design intention of the Vauxhall Vizor.
Two wide screens of up to 10 and 12 inches in size welcome the occupants; the
central display is deliberately tilted to the driver and the air vents are
pushed to the background to enhance a focused experience. The Pure Panel
provides the latest technologies and most important information for the driver,
while all irritating visual stimuli are absent. The design of the centre
console too has been impressively cleaned up: thanks to the electronic parking
brake as well as the new electric gear lever, no protruding element disturbs
the purity of its design. All controls and modules are elegantly integrated.
Leader in the segment: Vauxhall lighting technology and
high-tech assistance systems
The new Mokka arrives in the B-segment with top innovations
that until recently have only been available in the luxury class. Vauxhall is a
leader in lighting technology. All Mokka variants are equipped with latest
generation LED lights – from daytime running lights in typical Vauxhall
graphics to front fog lights. An absolute highlight in this segment is the
adaptive IntelliLux LED® matrix headlights with a total of 14 elements. As with
the Vauxhall Insignia, Vauxhall Astra and the new Vauxhall Corsa, the lighting
system enables driving on permanent high beam. In order to not glare their
drivers, the individual LED elements can get off or deem down in milliseconds
to “cut” oncoming vehicles or vehicles driving in front out of the light cone –
nobody is dazzled yet Mokka passengers experience stadium-like illumination. In
the rear, the choice for LED-only technology has allowed designers to go for
very thin, stretched lights enhancing the feeling of precision and quality.
Exceptionally comfortable: Vauxhall seating technology and
top networking
Excellent seating engineering is par excellence typical of
Vauxhall. Various six-way ergonomic seats are available, which are individually
adjustable. A sporty Alcantara and a classic full leather interior are both
orderable – highly unusual for a vehicle in the B-
segment. The crowning glory is the heated leather seat with
perforated surface and massage function for the driver
The driver and front-seat passenger can place their
smartphones in the storage tray provided in the centre console. Compatible
telephones recharge here inductively (wireless). A rubber mat prevents the
devices from sliding around. The new infotainment range perfectly networks and
entertains Mokka drivers and passengers. Multimedia Radio and Multimedia Navi
systems with a 7-inch colour touchscreen and the top-of-the-line system
Multimedia Navi Pro with a high-resolution 10-inch colour touchscreen are
available. The monitors are integral with the new Pure Panel from Vauxhall and
ideally positioned towards the driver.
The Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatible multimedia
systems feature integrated voice control. The new Mokka also offers the
VauxhallConnect service. LIVE navigation2 with real-time traffic information,
plus a direct link to breakdown assistance and eCall make journeys even more
relaxing for drivers and passengers. If the airbags or seatbelt tensioners
deploy in an accident, eCall contacts the local Public Safety Answering Point
(PSAP) automatically.
