The official line is that the Mokka is a traditional SUV, with butch looks and the option of four-wheel drive, whereas the Crossland X is intended to be a more family-friendly choice. To that end, all versions are front-wheel drive, which means there isn’t a driveshaft to the rear that robs the interior of usable space. The Crossland X also has deeper side windows than the Mokka to help create an airier feel inside, and it has smaller wheels, which have the potential to improve space, ride comfort and fuel efficiency.
The Vauxhall Crossland X is practical and comfortable, but it’s let down by an underwhelming driving experience.
Pros Spacious and comfortable Eager 1.2-litre petrol engine Plenty of standard safety kit

Pros Sensible and practical family car A range of customisation options Large choice of engines
Cons Tough competition, but will come out fighting

Pros More all-terrain capabilities than your typical SUV Smart features for both adventures and everyday use Lots of customization options
Cons Rugged styling Three-cylinder base engine is likely pretty weak Last-generation infotainment system
