In case this mini-crossover from Opel / Vauxhall looks familiar to you, we have to tell you that this is the European version of a vehicle that’s sold as a Buick Encore on the US market.
Customers will be able to choose between three engines, with the carmaker claiming that all of them have been optimized for efficiency. It all starts with a 1.6-liter naturally aspirated petrol that produces 115 hp, with this being followed by a turbocharged 1.4-liter that develops 140 hp. The range also includes an oil burner, in the form of a 1.7 CDTI unit delivering 130 hp.

The Mokka measures 4,28 meters in length, which should make it ideal for city driving, as well as suitable for soft-roading. The car can be ordered with either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, with the latter being a FWD-based system that sends power to the rear axle only when this is necessary. As for the gearbox choices, the vehicle comes with a manual or an automatic, both offering six ratios.
