Vauxhall has widened expanded Mokka options

The Vauxhall Mokka is now available in a front-wheel drive 1.4-litre petrol engine version to expand car buyers' options when considering the model.

Previously the vehicle was only available in all-wheel drive manual, but now motorists can pick between a six-speed manual or automatic transmission.

The Mokka offers impressive performance too, achieving 47.9mpg and emitting only 139g/km CO2. Its maximum speed is 120mph and it can reach 62mph in just 9.9 seconds.

On the inside, the Mokka boasts a ground-breaking infotainment system and a high resolution, simple to use seven-inch colour display, which is used to view the rear parking camera.

The Navi 950, which is part of the infotainment offering, comes with Europe-wide mapping and can be updated easily via a USB port, while a Bose sound system means drivers can enjoy fantastic sounding music on the road.

"We are delighted to make the popular Mokka even more appealing with new powertrains and high-end infotainment units," said Stuart Harris, Vauxhall's head of carline brand.

The front-wheel drive Mokka with a 1.4-litre Turbo petrol engine is available from £16,719 on-the-road.
