Did Vauxhall’s revamped Mokka compact crossover excite in a congested class? jackwarrick says goodbye after six months behind the wheel
If you fancy a small crossover, we must ask: are you Juking? - 1 December 2021The arrival at my flat last week of a Nissan Juke triple auto for an online review made for an ideal impromptu twin test against our long-term Vauxhall Mokka triple auto .
The Mokka also feels roomier somehow, even though in reality they’re closely matched – I suppose due to the chubbiness of the Juke’s centre console and sports seats. Disappointingly, both cars fall short in regards to their automatic gearboxes . It’s not that they’re dim-witted or jarring when you’re on the move; in fact, they’re perfectly capable. The issue is with low-speed manoeuvring. Trying to follow the parking instructions of the marshal on the Eurotunnel train in the Mokka was thoroughly embarrassing, even with the engine stop-start system switched off; but trying to park the Juke in a parallel bay was downright frustrating.
Switching to the Sport driving setting dowses the digital driver’s display with red and adds sharpness to the throttle response. The eight-speed automatic gearbox is slightly more responsive, too. The Mokka is certainly capable on these winding roads. The 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol unit in our car offers 128bhp, which is delivered smoothly enough.The Vauxhall isn’t as much fun to drive as a Ford Puma, though.
What our extensive longer journeys have done is to highlight the benefits of the generous equipment levels in our SRi Nav Premium car, although it’s worth noting that the model range has been simplified, with our trim level now known as SRi Premium.A vast amount of techy goodness is included, such as a panoramic rear-view camera, heated front seats, cruise and climate controls and a 10.0in colour touchscreen partnered with a 12.0in digital instrument cluster.
