The updated Vauxhall Mokka has gone on sale, with its starting price rising by £3150 to £24,705.
The entry-level Griffin trim level has been axed as part of a light update intended to keep the small crossover competitive against a host of new rivals.
Sold in combustion-engined and electric forms, it is the British brand’s second-best-seller behind the stalwart Corsa, but sales have dropped by nearly a third over the past year.
As such, the Mokka gets a fresh interior, including a reworked centre console, a new 10in digital driver’s display and a 10in infotainment screen.
The upgraded infotainment system features voice recognition, wireless smartphone mirroring and a 180deg rear-view camera.
In pursuit of a cleaner cabin design, some physical buttons have been removed and are now integrated within the screen. These include touchscreen shortcuts (such as maps and audio), and driving and parking aids.
In addition, Vauxhall has fitted the crossover with a new flat-bottom steering wheel that is similar in design to its Astra sibling.
Vauxhall has also slightly reworked the exterior design of the car. At the front, a new cut line below the blacked-out Vizor grille has been added – a design cue adopted from the new Frontera. It also gets a new LED signature at the front and back.
As part of the facelift, Vauxhall now offers the Mokka in only three trims and three powertrains. The latter is either the 156bhp, 54kWh Mokka Electric, 136bhp Mokka Hybrid, or pure-combustion Mokka with a 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol engine.
The Hybrid starts at £27,305, while the EV is priced from £33,245.
