The 2016 Vauxhall Mokka 1.4T Tech Line represents a moment when compact crossovers were beginning to really hit their stride?and Vauxhall was keen not to be left out of the party. With its chunky SUV-inspired styling, elevated driving position and compact footprint, the Mokka proved a hit among urban drivers wanting a bit more presence on the road without stepping into full-blown SUV territory. The 1.4-litre turbocharged petrol engine provides a respectable 140bhp, offering peppy performance whether you're navigating city traffic or cruising on the motorway. It's smooth and refined, with enough low-down torque to make it feel sprightly. While the Mokka was never designed to be particularly sporty, the steering is light, the ride is comfortable, and it makes easy work of everyday journeys. In Tech Line specification, this Mokka was all about value and technology. Satellite navigation, front and rear parking sensors, dual-zone climate control, Bluetooth connectivity and 18-inch alloys all came as standard?making it an exceptionally well-equipped car for its class at the time. Combine that with decent boot space and a high-up seating position, and it?s easy to see why this was such a popular choice for families and commuters alike. The Mokka might not be the flashiest car in the segment, but it?s a thoroughly competent and user-friendly small crossover that still makes a lot of sense on today?s roads.
