Both models have their strengths – but which one suits you more?
Compare performance, efficiency, price and space directly: Vauxhall Mokka or VW Taigo?
In the bustling world of compact SUVs, two contenders stand out in the 2024 model year: the Vauxhall Mokka and the VW Taigo. Both representing the pinnacle of European automotive engineering, they offer unique features and innovation. Let's dive into the technical aspects and innovations that set these two compact SUVs apart.
The Vauxhall Mokka is versatile in its engine offerings, including petrol, mild-hybrid (MHEV), and fully electric variants, which cater to a diverse range of drivers' preferences and environmental considerations. The power output ranges from 130 HP in the petrol model to 156 HP in the electric variant, with torque peaking at 260 Nm. Acceleration from 0-100 km/h varies between 9 to 9.2 seconds, with a max speed capping at 207 km/h, all while maintaining a competitive CO2 efficiency.
On the other hand, the VW Taigo is solely petrol-powered, with engine options producing between 95 and 150 HP. Its fastest variant accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 8.2 seconds with a top speed of 212 km/h, slightly outperforming the Mokka in speed but restricted to less environmentally friendly options, given its CO2 efficiency class remains at D.
The Mokka offers a blend of transmission options, including manual, dual-clutch automatic, and a reduction gearbox for the electric model, ensuring smooth transitions and adaptability to driver preference. Coupled with its front-wheel-drive, the Mokka promises spirited drive dynamics across its variants.
Similarly, the VW Taigo provides both manual and dual-clutch automatic transmissions, enhancing driving ease in varied conditions. Its focus remains on simplicity and traditional combustion, potentially appealing to drivers less drawn to electrification.
In terms of size, the Mokka measures 4,150 mm in length, 1,787 mm in width, and 1,535 mm in height. Despite its compact size, it offers a trunk capacity of up to 350 L, making it practical for urban settings and light travel.
Meanwhile, the Taigo stretches slightly longer at 4,266 mm, with a width of 1,757 mm and a height of 1,518 mm. Its more generous trunk capacity of 440 L gives it an edge in carrying capacity, suitable for families or drivers who prioritize cargo space.
Fuel efficiency is a crucial consideration, and both models deliver impressive numbers. The Mokka's petrol and hybrid variants consume between 4.8 to 6.2 L/100km when fueled traditionally, with its electric model consuming 15.4 kWh/100km and boasting a range of over 400 km.
The Taigo's petrol engines show similar efficiency, consuming between 5.4 and 5.8 L/100km. However, the absence of an electric variant might deter eco-conscious consumers seeking zero-emission commutes.
Both the Vauxhall Mokka and VW Taigo bring forward their best for 2024, each car catering to a specific audience. The Mokka shines with its wide engine variety and electric innovations, while the Taigo appeals to those leaning towards traditional combustion efficiency and larger practicality. Ultimately, the choice between these compact SUVs will depend on individual preferences regarding powertrain, driving experience, and lifestyle needs.
Price and efficiency are often the first things buyers look at. Here it becomes clear which model has the long-term edge – whether at the pump, the plug, or in purchase price.
VW Taigo has a slightly advantage in terms of price – it starts at 19600 £, while the Vauxhall Mokka costs 22900 £. That’s a price difference of around 3296 £.
Fuel consumption also shows a difference: Vauxhall Mokka manages with 4.90 L and is therefore hardly perceptible more efficient than the VW Taigo with 5.30 L. The difference is about 0.40 L per 100 km.
Under the bonnet, it becomes clear which model is tuned for sportiness and which one takes the lead when you hit the accelerator.
When it comes to engine power, the Vauxhall Mokka has a decisively edge – offering 281 HP compared to 150 HP. That’s roughly 131 HP more horsepower.
In acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h, the Vauxhall Mokka is distinct quicker – completing the sprint in 5.90 s, while the VW Taigo takes 8.20 s. That’s about 2.30 s faster.
In terms of top speed, the VW Taigo performs minimal better – reaching 212 km/h, while the Vauxhall Mokka tops out at 209 km/h. The difference is around 3 km/h.
There’s also a difference in torque: Vauxhall Mokka pulls evident stronger with 345 Nm compared to 250 Nm. That’s about 95 Nm difference.
Cabin size, boot volume and payload all play a role in everyday practicality. Here, comfort and flexibility make the difference.
Both vehicles offer seating for 5 people.
In curb weight, VW Taigo is hardly perceptible lighter – 1229 kg compared to 1294 kg. The difference is around 65 kg.
In terms of boot space, the VW Taigo offers noticeable more room – 440 L compared to 350 L. That’s a difference of about 90 L.
In maximum load capacity, the VW Taigo performs minimal better – up to 1222 L, which is about 117 L more than the Vauxhall Mokka.
When it comes to payload, VW Taigo a bit takes the win – 457 kg compared to 400 kg. That’s a difference of about 57 kg.
Overall, the Vauxhall Mokka shows itself to be leaves the rival little chance and secures the title of DriveDuel Champion.
