Vauxhall Mokka X

"The 2018 Vauxhall Mokka X 1.4 Turbo ecoTEC in Elite Nav trim is a compelling offering in the fiercely competitive compact SUV segment. With its sharp styling and a raised driving position, the Mokka X strikes a balance between urban sophistication and off-road ruggedness. The Elite Nav specification elevates the experience, wrapping practicality in a layer of premium luxury that feels a cut above its rivals. Under the bonnet lies a spirited 1.4-litre turbocharged petrol engine, delivering 140 PS. Paired with a smooth six-speed manual gearbox, it offers an engaging drive with enough low-end torque to handle both city traffic and winding country roads. The ecoTEC badging hints at commendable efficiency, making it an appealing choice for those conscious of fuel economy but unwilling to sacrifice performance. Step inside, and the Elite Nav specification comes into its own. Full leather upholstery, heated front seats, and a heated steering wheel combine to cocoon you in comfort on chilly mornings. The 8-inch touchscreen IntelliLink infotainment system, complete with satellite navigation, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto, ensures you stay connected and on course. Meanwhile, a host of safety features�such as lane departure warning and front and rear parking sensors�add peace of mind to every journey. The Mokka X is equally at home on the school run or a weekend escape. Compact dimensions make it easy to maneuver through tight city streets, yet a generous boot and practical cabin space provide versatility for families. The Elite Nav trim makes a strong case for itself, blending practicality, technology, and comfort into a well-rounded package that remains an underrated gem in the Vauxhall lineup."
