Vauxhall Corsa and Mokka updated with new trims and tech
Vauxhall has introduced updated versions of its best-selling Corsa and Mokka, delivering latest design and technology features, along with a new powertrain and Black edition for the Mokka.
Changes for the Mokka centre around a new 136hp 1.2-litre turbo petrol engine with six-speed manual. It replaces the previous 130hp six-speed manual, cutting CO2 emissions from 141g/km to 125g/km (on the WLTP Combined High scale) and delivering up to 51.4mpg along with the same performance figures as before.
The new arrival sits alongside the existing 130hp EAT8 automatic powertrain, plus the 100hp 1.2 turbo six-speed manual variants, and is available across the entire range.
Vauxhall has also launched a special edition Mokka variant, which gets an exclusive Vulcan Grey colour option, styling upgrades and comes with key technologies as standard. These include the latest Pure Panel cockpit with Multimedia Pure Panel Navigation Pro – featuring a 12-inch digital instrument cluster and a 10-inch colour touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Navigation with traffic alerts also arrives as standard, plus the ‘Park & Go’ pack which includes Advanced Park Assist with 180-degree panoramic camera, blind spot alert and flank guard technology that uses ultrasonic side sensors to help manoeuvring into tight spaces.
Mokka Black variants are available with the new engine and the existing 130hp EAT8 automatic and start first deliveries this summer.
Design for the existing Mokka variants has also been revamped, including replacing the former chrome exterior with black trim, which includes a black painted rear spoiler and roof.
Mokka Ultimate also gets more equipment, including driver’s side power lumbar support and front massage seats as standard equipment. All Mokka versions now also come with High Beam Assist with Tunnel Detection, delivering improved lighting.
Prices for the new Mokka line-up begin from £24,010 with the Mokka Electric available from £39,045.
Corsa update delivers improved technologies
Changes for the Corsa major on revised equipment levels across all versions.
Design models gain a revised Automatic Emergency Braking function now featuring Pedestrian Detection while the Corsa Electric GS receives LED front fog lights alongside its LED headlights and daytime running lights.
The top-of-the range Corsa Ultimate is revamped with Blind Spot Alert now standard on both fully electric and petrol variants of the supermini, while a driver’s seat with lumbar support and massage function is included.
The Corsa line-up opens from £18,585 for the Design variants in 75hp 1.2-litre petrol guise and from £33,930 for the Electric GS.
Finally, Vauxhall has also updated its entire car range, renaming the ‘GS Line’ trim simply as ‘GS’.
