Vauxhall reveals new-look Mokka ahead of Geneva debut

Now dubbed the Mokka X, the new model will debut at the Geneva Motor Show and arrives in UK showrooms in late 2016.

The front end gains the Vauxhall family face, including a wing-shaped horizontal front grille and the signature double-wing LED daytime running lights. It also features LED Adaptive Forward Lighting headlamps as well as a new “X” segment identifier that will be used for future Vauxhall SUV and crossover vehicles.

Inside, the Mokka X has a completely new dashboard inspired by the new Astra, with fewer buttons than the old Mokka and many functions that are accessible via the touchscreen.

The new Mokka will also be available with Vauxhall’s OnStar personal connectivity and service assistant while two versions of the new generation IntelliLink infotainment system will also make their debut.

Engine line-up includes the 1.6-litre ‘Whisper Diesel’ engine introduced last year as well as a new 150bhp 1.4-litre Direct Injection Turbo petrol unit first seen in the Astra. With a six-speed automatic transmission, adaptive four-wheel drive and start/stop, the model achieves an official 42.8mpg combined and CO2 emissions of 154g/km.
