Opel/Vauxhall Mokka

The Opel/Vauxhall Mokka is a small crossover for drivers who want a higher seating position and easy city manners without moving up to a larger SUV. By our assessment, its strongest point is packaging: it gives compact dimensions, a practical cabin, and the familiar road feel of a mainstream small car. The price for that shape is not hard to see, because rear-seat space and boot room are always tighter than in bigger crossovers, and no version turns it into a roomy family van. In day-to-day use this kind of car tends to feel simple to place in traffic and in parking spaces, with controls that stay familiar rather than flashy. It sits in the crowded small-crossover class, where the Mokka has to win by style, size, and everyday ease rather than by brute utility. People who want a neat urban car with a raised driving position will understand it quickly; drivers after maximum space should look elsewhere.
