Delivering outstanding power, performance and specification within its segment, the new Mokka GSE combines rally-inspired design and engineering with motorsport levels of performance from a fully electric powertrain featuring a peak output of 280hp, immediate torque of 345Nm, electrifying acceleration of 0-62mph in just 5.9 seconds, a top speed of 124mph and up to 209 miles of range.
Customers can experience true OMG! moments in everyday driving with the Mokka GSE as a result of sporty, front-wheel drive dynamics inspired by the Mokka GSE Rally. With a kerb weight of less than 1.6 tonnes, which is exemplary for a battery-electric vehicle, it also has a specially developed steering system, as well as a tuned chassis, suspension, and brakes optimised for fun, engaging performance.
Meanwhile, a generously equipped cabin ensures the utmost comfort and convenience featuring racing-style bucket seating, and the latest driving assistance and infotainment technologies – all included as standard.
With an OTR list price of £36,995, the Mokka GSE qualifies for a £1,500 saving under the Electric Car Grant, bringing the price down to £35,495 OTR for even greater value. The Mokka Electric range starts from £31,005 OTR (after the ECG). First deliveries of the Mokka GSE are expected by the end of the year.
Steve Catlin, Managing Director, Vauxhall, said: “The Mokka GSE combines the perfect blend of power, driving fun, and exceptional value. Drawing on years of electric motorsport expertise, customers can experience exhilarating rally-inspired performance and dynamics in their daily driving without compromising on comfort or practicality, while remaining attainable as performance Vauxhall models have always been.”
Rally-inspired performance
All the high-voltage components of the standard Mokka GSE, such as the motor, inverter, battery or wiring harness, come from the Mokka GSE Rally.
The Mokka GSE features a 54kWh battery (51kWh usable) powering a single electric motor with a peak output of 280hp and 345Nm of torque. The Mokka GSE accelerates from standstill to 62mph in just 5.9 seconds, while achieving a top speed of 124mph and up to 209 miles of range (WLTP).
An 11kW on-board charger with Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) capability is fitted as standard (V2L adapter available as an accessory through Vauxhall retailers). Battery recharging from 0-80% takes 27 minutes using a 100kW DC rapid charger, while a 0-100% charge from an 11kW AC charger will take 5 hours 45 minutes.
Mokka GSE drivers can choose from three distinct drive modes. In ‘Sport’ mode, the electric car is set up for performance and delivers its full power with specific calibrations for the steering, accelerator and ESP; in ‘Normal’ mode it reaches up to 112mph and in ‘Eco’ power delivery is reduced for the greatest possible efficiency.
The Mokka GSE front-wheel drive system features a Torsen multi-plate limited-slip differential as well as a chassis with specific GSE front axle knuckles, front wishbone bushings and new double hydraulic bump stop shock absorbers all round. The rear axle has 189 per cent increased roll stiffness compared to a normal Mokka Electric thanks to a new anti-roll bar.
The front brakes are from performance braking experts, Alcon, and are 380mm in diameter with four-piston calipers painted in attractive GSE yellow.
