The updated Vauxhall Mokka has gone on sale, with its starting price rising by £1950 to £24,705 – but pricing for fully electric and hybrid models have dropped.
This rise in entry costs is because the base-level Griffin trim level has been axed as part of a light update intended to keep the small crossover competitive against a host of new rivals.
Vauxhall has, elsewhere, cut the entry price of the EV by £4640 to £33,245, and the hybrid by £3250 to £27,305. The EV is now exclusively sold with the 156bhp powertrain, previously a cost option.
The Mokka is the British brand’s second-best-seller behind the stalwart Corsa, but sales have dropped by nearly a third over the past year.
As such, the Mokka gets a fresh interior, including a reworked centre console, a new 10in digital driver’s display and a 10in infotainment screen.
The upgraded infotainment system features voice recognition, wireless smartphone mirroring and a 180deg rear-view camera.
In pursuit of a cleaner cabin design, some physical buttons have been removed and are now integrated within the screen. These include touchscreen shortcuts (such as maps and audio), and driving and parking aids.

It's now a whopping 6k more than a MG4 BEV and would you believe £500 more than the Electric Volvo, I rest my case.
Dealers must be tearing their hair out.
Buy what you like?, must have a box fresh new car?, as long as your happy driving it, makes you smile when your in it, that's all that matters, isn't it?
Mokkas are too expensive given that their value drops off a cliff immediately out of the showroom.
Agreed. As with most Vauxhalls, best to buy a used, two or three year old example.
