The original Vauxhall Mokka was very much the prime-time, middle-of-the-road sitcom of the automotive world; it was always incredibly popular, but with so many more interesting, critically acclaimed alternatives out there, it was hard to fathom why.
Now, however, the Mokka has had a reboot. Vauxhall’s compact crossover has been redesigned from the ground up, giving the model a sharp new look in a class where desirability is a key way to win over buyers. But does it now have the substance to back up the style and beat its rivals?
That list of competition is huge, but in the Nissan Juke, the Mokka faces the car that can arguably be credited with both kicking off the supermini-based SUV segment, and making it so popular. Now in its second generation, it still majors on eye-catching looks, which makes it exactly the sort of car that new Mokka buyers might well consider a tempting alternative.
