Description
Slide up to the Mokka Black and you already get the hint this is no bland crossover. Black trim accents, bold wheels, gloss touches—it’s designed to look sharp and feel stylish. The stance is confident without being overbearing: enough height to give you a better view of the road, enough compactness to handle city driving without drama. It balances edge and elegance well.
Inside, you get that modern small-SUV vibe: a clean dashboard, useful touchscreen tech, decent material quality up front, and the kind of layout that makes you feel like you’re in something more premium than your average hatch. It’s cosy, but not cramped up front; rear seats are usable, though it leans toward being more comfortable for shorter trips or smaller passengers in the back.
Under the Bonnet & Driving Vibes
Power / Performance: With a 1.2-litre turbo petrol engine, this Mokka delivers enough punch for everyday life. Autocar lists the 1.2 Turbo 1
Acceleration & Speed: 0-62 mph takes around 9.1 seconds with that 136 PS model. Top speed lands in the region of 125 mph. Not sports-car blistering, but lively enough to make motorway overtakes, on-ramp bursts and accelerating out of roundabouts feel satisfying.
Torque / Lower down urge: The turbo 1.2 engine gives usable torque lower down, which means you’re not stuck wanting for shove from low revs—especially helpful in town or pulling away with a few passengers aboard.
Ride, Practicality & Everyday Use
Driving Feel: Light, nimble steering makes city driving easy. The manual gearbox gives good control and adds involvement—if you enjoy working the gears, this variant rewards that. On smoother roads it feels composed; on rougher ones you do feel more of the road (larger wheels, firmer suspension can amplify that).
Fuel Economy & Emissions: Combined mpg for the 136 PS petrol seems to hover in the high-40s to low-50s mpg in official figures.
