Vauxhall Mokka (2021) interior view
Are you in the market for a stylish and comfortable SUV? Look no further than the Vauxhall Mokka. In this article, we will delve into the interior, technology, and comfort features that make the Mokka stand out from the crowd.
Quality and Layout: An Impressive Blend
Acceptable. Vauxhalls have been known for their drab interiors, but the Mokka breaks the mold. While it still retains some Vauxhall controls, it seamlessly integrates Peugeot-sourced switches and components, adding a touch of sophistication.
The physical controls for heating and stereo are a breath of fresh air in an era dominated by touch-sensitive interfaces. No more fumbling through infotainment systems like in the Peugeot 2008 or contending with overly sensitive controls, like in the Volkswagen T-Roc.
Under French ownership, Vauxhall's quality has not suffered. The Mokka boasts chunky switches and buttons, plush materials, and a general feeling of quality. Scratchy plastics and flimsy materials are kept to a minimum, ensuring a premium experience for daily driving. However, if you're seeking ultimate plushness, rivals like the Audi Q2 or Peugeot 2008 might be more up your alley.
The Mokka offers a commanding view from the front, with a clear sight over the bonnet. The driving position is highly adjustable, allowing you to find the perfect fit. The SRi version's supportive seats guarantee long-lasting comfort, ensuring a pleasurable driving experience. The controls are light and responsive, complemented by physical rotary knobs for the heating and ventilation system and stereo volume control.
Infotainment and Technology: A Modern Marvel

The Mokka raises the bar with its state-of-the-art infotainment and technology features. The highlight is the generous 12.0-inch digital display dashboard, providing a visually stunning experience. Combined with the central screen for the infotainment system, known as the 'Pure Panel,' the Mokka offers a seamless and intuitive interface.
Equipped with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support, the built-in sat-nav system has significantly improved from the previous generation Mokka X. The higher trims feature a 10.0-inch touchscreen that is clear and user-friendly. However, those who prefer a rotary-controlled system like the Audi Q2 might find it easier to use while on the move.
Comfort: A Delightful Ride
The Mokka strikes a fine balance between comfort and handling. Vauxhall's engineers have tuned the suspension to provide a distinct and slightly firmer feel compared to its Peugeot 2008 sibling. The result is a ride that is less wallowy, offering improved control without compromising comfort.
Seat comfort and wind noise are on par with other small family cars. The sporty-looking seats in the SRi version provide excellent support for those longer journeys. If you prioritize supreme suppleness, the Skoda Kamiq takes the crown among small SUVs, while the Audi Q2 offers a compelling blend of comfort and control.
In conclusion, the Vauxhall Mokka impresses with its blend of style, comfort, and smart technology. With its refined interior, intuitive infotainment system, and enjoyable ride, the Mokka is ready to make every journey a delight.
