Vauxhall Frontera
Vauxhall Mokka
VS
The Opel Frontera is a rugged, old-school SUV that trades creature comforts for go-anywhere attitude—perfect for buyers after analogue charm, simple mechanics and mud under the wheel arches. The Opel Mokka is the polished city slicker: compact, efficient and loaded with modern tech and safety gizmos, making it the smarter, more comfortable choice for daily driving and lower running costs.
Vauxhall Astra
Vauxhall Mokka
VS
The Opel Astra is the grown-up compact — practical, composed and roomy enough for weekend gear, while the Opel Mokka trades boot space for a higher driving position, sharper looks and crossover sass. Pick the Astra for better value, comfort and lower running costs; choose the Mokka if you crave style, city agility and the smug feeling of being five centimetres taller than the neighbours — with the usual compact-crossover compromises.

Vauxhall Corsa
Vauxhall Mokka
VS
The Opel Corsa is the cheeky city hatch that zips into parking spaces and pockets with equal ease, while the Opel Mokka trades that nimble charm for SUV attitude, a higher driving position and a few extra inches of boot space.

Jeep Avenger
Vauxhall Mokka
VS
The Jeep Avenger and Opel Mokka are two compact crossovers with very different personalities — the Avenger wears its Jeep ruggedness and EV chops on its sleeve, while the Mokka is a sharper, more urban-focused package with chic styling and a polished cabin. If you want an adventurous, value-packed small SUV that feels ready for country lanes, go Avenger; if you prefer a city-friendly ride with crisper handling and a nicer interior (or the electric Mokka‑e for silent commuting), the Mokka is the smarter, more refined choice.
Nissan Juke
Vauxhall Mokka
VS
The Nissan Juke is a cheeky, compact crossover with bulging arches, zesty handling and personality to spare, while the Opel Mokka takes a more grown-up route — solid, spacious and quietly efficient with a neater cabin and calmer ride.
