The smooth curves and rugged style of the new Vauxhall Mokka gives the car an edge over its rivals.
Drivers will be taken aback by how stunning this vehicle looks, with this applying to both its interior and exterior design. However, the remarkable performance capabilities of the Mokka ensure that it is not just about the looks.
Here's a look at the many highlights of the new Vauxhall Mokka in more detail.
Vauxhall Mokka's exterior designed to wow the crowds
It is hard to know where to begin when trying to describe just how extraordinary the exterior of the new Vauxhall Mokka really is.
Many drivers will be in awe of how the British car manufacturer has managed to pack all the rugged style of a full-sized SUV vehicle into a car that is presented to prospective buyers as a compact model.
This is particularly seen when approaching the Mokka from the front, where everything has been designed with a purpose.
Keep on walking around the car though and drivers will also notice the purposeful and broad stance that enables it to look tough and aggressive when lined up side-by-side with other SUVs.
The lines working their way through the upswept waist of the Mokka are muscular and athletic, while the wrap-around rear screen provides the perfect balance to the raked windscreen.
Cruise in style with the Vauxhall Mokka's luxurious interior
If the exterior of the Vauxhall Mokka was the delightful appetiser, then the car's plush interior is the must-have main dish.
Step inside this vehicle and drivers are instantly presented with a space packed with quality and comfort. This effect is seen all throughout the Mokka, from the high-mounted supportive seats to the premium feel that is given off by touching the car's striking trim.
The finish giving to the car's interior also has to be mentioned. Trim materials are topped off with either a good-to-touch black or cocoa hue, while smooth metallic detailing and chrome instrument rings keeps the design smart and tidy.
Everything about the inside of the new Vauxhall Mokka appears to have had plenty of hard work dedicated to it.
The Vauxhall Mokka is much more than just a pretty face
People should not jump to conclusions that the new Vauxhall Mokka is simply all about dazzling drivers with its extravagant interior and exterior designs.
This is because the 1,686cc four-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine that is hiding under the vehicle's bonnet has a trick or two up its sleeve as well.
For one, this motor enables the Mokka to boast up to 128bhp at a maximum of 4,000rpm of torque. Furthermore, 62mph can be reached from rest in precisely ten seconds and a top speed of 116mph is capable when pedal is put to the metal.
Those with concerns about the environment will also be pleased to hear that the car has a fuel economy of 52.3mpg and its CO2 emissions is capped at a respectable 153g/km.
Drivers can get their hands on the keys to the new Vauxhall Mokka from next month.
