PROS Looks much better than the old car Decent interior quality Respectable 201-mile range
CONS Cramped rear seats Alternatives trump it for boot space Infotainment not the sharpest
The Vauxhall Mokka-e offers buyers sharp looks, a decent range, a generous amount of standard kit and a relatively comfy and quiet ride. However, if you’re looking for a funky urban EV, there are cheaper options available, such as the Fiat 500 and Mazda MX-30. Those looking for an EV to ‘do it all’, meanwhile, would be far better off with a Kia e-Niro or Volkswagen ID.3, both of which are far more spacious and will go much farther on a charge.
PROS Pretty comfortable Impressively quiet at speed Plenty of standard kit
CONS e-Niro and ID.3 have longer ranges Cheap feeling interior Not that quick by EV standards
“Does most of the everyday stuff nicely while looking like a bulldog wearing a crash helmet ”
PROS Distinctive modern looks, decent electric range, plenty of trim choices with lots of kit
CONS Brittle ride and dodgy brakes in the electric one. Some iffy cabin plastics. Ford’s Puma is a better steer
