Opel Mokka vs. Toyota Yaris Cross: A Comprehensive Comparison

The automotive market is always buzzing with innovation, and two prominent contenders in the compact SUV segment for 2024 are the Opel Mokka and the Toyota Yaris Cross. Both vehicles offer a blend of practicality, efficiency, and modern technology. Here, we’ll explore their technical features and innovations to help you determine which SUV suits your lifestyle best.

Under the hood, the Opel Mokka offers a variety of engine options, including petrol, petrol MHEV, and electric variants. The petrol engines produce between 130 and 156 HP, while the electric version boasts an impressive range of up to 403 km and a battery capacity of 51 kWh. With a consumption rate of roughly 6.1 to 6.2 L/100km for petrol and 15.4 kWh/100km for electric, the Mokka provides a compelling eco-friendly option.

In contrast, the Toyota Yaris Cross is equipped with a hybrid powertrain that produces between 116 and 130 HP. This hybrid setup is more fuel-efficient, boasting consumption figures around 4.5 to 4.8 L/100km.

Transmission and Driving Experience

The Mokka employs a variety of transmission options, including both manual and automatic gearboxes, which provides flexibility in driving style. Whether you prefer the precision of a manual or the convenience of an automatic, the Mokka caters to your needs. Acceleration is impressive, with a 0-100 km/h time of just 9 seconds for the sporty models.

On the other hand, the Yaris Cross features a smooth CVT automatic transmission that enhances fuel efficiency while maintaining a serene driving experience. However, its acceleration time lagging behind the Mokka at 10.7 to 11.3 seconds suggests that it is more focused on economy and comfort rather than sporty performance.

The Yaris Cross is equipped with Toyota's Safety Sense technology, encompassing pre-collision systems, lane departure alerts, and adaptive headlights. This proactive approach to safety underscores Toyota's dedication to enhancing driving confidence, making it a strong contender in the safety aspects of this comparison.
