The title says affordable. Mmm.. Yes it is affordable if you personally can afford it. The real question is how many people CAN afford it. I suggest it is a very low percentage of households. If true, it is simply not affordable to most families. No amount of saying it is affordable will change the fact that it isn't.
This Mokka is a crossover not an SUV. As you say at 2:10 it shares its mechanical components with the Corsa supermini / subcompact. Vauxhall marketing department is making a mistake calling crossovers SUVs; that brings ridicule from SUV drivers and puts off buyers looking for a crossover.
Some other things I think people need to know as an owner. So we have had a petrol automatic Mokka for 12 months. So the lane control is a pain. Getting in the back is another issue. So kids will be ok but if your an adult you will have issues getting in and out. We have the keyless entry. We have given up on this as it is so temperamental. Then one big issue is when we go to open the car with the key fob. We find the car will not open. The key fob stops working. So we have a trick now to get round this. We have to open and close the boot. Which I am guessing because we have keyless entry it allows us to do this. Then the key fob comes back to life. We can now open the car with the key fob. The car has been back 7 times to the dealer. Still not fixed. I have seen on other reviews other people have the same issues so I guess goes across the electric and petrol models.
Thanks for sharing your experience here, Richard. Sorry to hear that you've had issues with the Mokka. You're doing the right thing by taking it in to be assessed by the dealer - hope this is resolved soon 👍
I love that green colour, but not the price. Yet another EV that's still far too expensive for a lot of drivers in the UK😒. It's time that car manufacturers started producing inexpensive EVs for the UK market. If Citroën can come up with the Ami and Dacia the Spring, surely someone can come up with some sort of an actual electric car for around £15K for the UK market.

@@kerry9741 Over the years, petrol and diesel cars have got more and more luxurious and of course prices have risen accordingly. Some people don't particularly want or wish to pay for an all singing all dancing car. Myself and a lot of other people purely want a car to get them from A to B, and don't care about all the fancy gadgets etc. I'm not materialistic and most certainly do not flash off my wealth when I buy a car, home, clothes etc. The same goes for electric cars.......the majority of manufacturers are producing electric cars with all the gadgets.....hence the high price which automatically excludes a lot of motorists from going electric. There is a market for no frills electric cars, but most manufacturers are hell bent on continuing to produce all singing all dancing electric cars.
Would you go electric with the Vauxhall Mokka-e?
Yes, if they were half the current price, and double the range.. otherwise, definitely not
Kona's better.
No. Shite battery range, I know from experience

And the term crossover is a joke in itself. Its a meaningless word for a pretentious segment that frankly is embarrassing with any car maker.
@@oddities-whatnot yep. But people keep buying them so of course the manufacturers will make them

My mokka e arrives Thursday! Can’t wait!
How exciting Jack!! Hope you enjoy your new Mokka e. What made you choose this model in the end?
Wow..good luck selling millions of these at these silly prices..company car drivers, and people with too much money only.need to apply ..
Far too expensive considering the short range.
2:15 136 PS? Are you reading the German spec sheet with their Pferdestärken?
Actually I'm going to check myself. Turns out PS is the standard abbreviation for "metro horsepower"
No way can I get 209 miles more like 150 miles
Any release date for the VXR MOKKA -E?
We haven't heard anything yet - we'll update you on our social channels when we do!
Bear Grylls now doing car reviews eh! 😁 my new mokka sri premium will be ready for collection on Monday been a long wait though 6 months.
That's fantastic news Mark! Hope you enjoy your new Mokka 👍 What made you go with this model?
@@OsvUkVehicleSupply thanks! I just saw it n loved it then had the test drive. Am getting the 1.2turbo 8speed auto model. Can't wait to pick it up 😁👍
We are on 10 months so far wait time
Best thing about it is the colour. Thats it. Nothing else. Total rubbish for the sheep to flock to the dealerships for another PCP deal LOL.
Kona much better , and I hate that green on the mokka-e 😒
Imo the Kona is fugly as hell. Had a Kona electric as a loan car. Hated it. Clunky, uncomfortable seats. Nowhere near as comfy as the Mokka e

You’d be hard pushed to get any decent car. Electric or ICE for 15k!
