Vauxhall announces pricing for upcoming Mokka SUV ? Automotive ...

VAUXHALL will expand its range later this year with the addition of the Mokka SUV, which is available to order now with prices starting at ?16,995 on-the-road for the 1.6 16v 115 PS S/S five-speed S and rising to ?23,490 for the 1.7 CDTi 130 PS S/S six-speed 4?4?SE.

?

The new model, which reaches showrooms in November, will enter the growing sub-compact SUV B-segment.

?

In addition, a special Tech Line derivative will be available targeted at company car drivers and costing from ?15,995. Mokka Tech Line expands Vauxhall?s range of company car driver targeted models as the trim can already be found in Astra and Insignia line-ups. Standard equipment includes satellite navigation, auto dim rear view mirror, front and rear parking sensors, alloy wheels, Bluetooth and air conditioning.

?

With room for five adults, its key rivals will be cars like the Skoda Yeti and from Nissan, the Juke and Qashqai.

?

Available in three standard trims ? S, Exclusiv and SE ? the Mokka?s list of standard equipment includes: DMB (Digital Media Broadcast) radio, air conditioning, Descent Control System, cruise control, aux-in and a multi-function trip computer.

?

Three engines, ranging in power from 115 to 140 PS, will be available from launch. The 1.6 litre petrol produces 115 PS and 155 Nm of torque, and with its standard Start/Stop system delivers a combined fuel cycle 43.5 mpg. With 140 PS, the 1.4 litre turbo is the Mokka?s most powerful petrol engine and brings with it standard four-wheel drive and emissions of 149 g/km.

?

The Mokka has a choice of two diesel models, both of which use Vauxhall?s 1.7 CDTi 130 PS engine, with emissions from 124 g/km.

?

In front-wheel drive form, the 1.7 CDTi is available with a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission, and with all-wheel drive the Mokka comes with the six-speed manual only. Like the petrol-powered cars, all manual models have Vauxhall?s fuel-saving Start/Stop system as standard.

?

?The Mokka takes its design cues from larger SUVs and integrates them into a compact, yet modern form,? said Duncan Aldred, Vauxhall?s chairman and managing director. ?We are now growing a compelling and diverse range of products that appeals both to retail and fleet customers, and the Mokka will complement this perfectly.?
