Vauxhall Mokka review - MPG, running costs & CO2

Every engine in the Mokka is fairly efficient in nature, mainly by virtue of being small and turbocharged. There’s a 1.2-litre pure petrol engine with two power outputs and either manual or automatic gearboxes, which have a bearing on their economy. The entry-level car now has 134bhp, but its six-speed manual means it’s more economical than the 128bhp automatic. Above those, though, is a mild-hybrid (badged as Hybrid) that’s the most economical. This generation also saw the introduction of the first Mokka Electric, which sports a 54kWh battery giving it a range of up to 249 miles on a charge.

Vauxhall Mokka MPG & CO2

The pure petrol Mokka is fitted with a three-cylinder 1.2-litre turbocharged engine returning up to just under 50mpg with the six-speed manual and tuned to 134bhp. CO2 emissions are as low as 129g/km (depending on the trim level), so company-car drivers will find it sits in the middle of the Benefit-in-Kind (BiK) bandings table. 

The automatic version of the 1.2-litre engine is downtuned to 128bhp and gets worse fuel economy at up to just under 46mpg with CO2 emissions of 139g/km. You can expect the best fuel economy from the mild-hybrid version of the same engine, which gets up to 59mpg and emits the lowest CO2 (aside from the Electric version) at 108g/km.

Insurance groups

A 99bhp petrol Mokka in Design trim sits in insurance group 14, with this increasing to group 20 for the most powerful 134bhp version in Ultimate trim. The Mokka Electric sits in group 23 in Ultimate trim.

Warranty

Like all Vauxhall models, the Mokka comes with a three-year or 60,000-mile warranty. This is on a par with major rivals like Ford and Volkswagen, but by no means the most generous available. Hyundai and Toyota offer a five-year warranty, while Kia and SsangYong provide seven years of free cover. Buyers can upgrade to a Vauxhall Care package for an additional cost, including three years of servicing, two years of roadside assistance (on top of the standard free first year) and a free first MOT.

Servicing

Petrol models require a service after 12,500 miles or one year, whichever comes sooner. The diesel extends this to every 20,000 miles or each year. Vauxhall offers free membership to the 'Vauxhall Service Club', with perks including 15% off the price of accessories, parts and labour. AdBlue refills also cost around £15 for cars that require the emissions-reducing fluid.
