Greetings, Net Zero News Community,

Exciting developments are unfolding in the electric vehicle landscape, and Vauxhall is leading the charge with the announcement of its latest offering—the Mokka GSE. This high-performance electric vehicle (EV) not only showcases cutting-edge technology but also aligns perfectly with the UK’s net-zero ambitions by being eligible for the Government’s Electric Car Grant (ECG).

The Mokka GSE is Vauxhall’s fastest electric vehicle to date and marks the debut of its new pure electric-only GSE line-up. With a starting price of £36,995, savvy consumers can take advantage of a £1,500 saving under the ECG, bringing the price down to a competitive £35,495. This car promises to deliver not just an eco-friendly ride but also an exhilarating driving experience.

With rally-inspired design and engineering, the Mokka GSE is engineered for performance enthusiasts. At the heart of this remarkable vehicle lies a fully electric powertrain that boasts a peak output of 280hp and an impressive torque of 345Nm. For those who crave speed, the Mokka GSE accelerates from 0 to 62mph in a mere 5.9 seconds, while its top speed reaches 124mph. This level of performance is a testament to Vauxhall’s commitment to delivering thrilling experiences without compromising on sustainability.

Equipped with a 54kWh lithium-ion battery, the Mokka GSE offers a commendable range of up to 209 miles on the WLTP cycle. Recharging is a breeze with the inclusion of an 11kW onboard charger that features vehicle-to-load (V2L) capability as standard. For those who are always on the go, the Mokka GSE can be charged from 0 to 80% in just 27 minutes using a 100kW DC rapid charger. Alternatively, a complete charge from an 11kW AC charger will take approximately five hours and 45 minutes, making it a convenient option for daily use.

Designed with driving dynamics inspired by the Mokka GSE Rally, this high-performance EV weighs in at less than 1.6 tonnes. It features a specially developed steering system, along with a tuned chassis, suspension, and brakes optimised for an engaging driving experience. This focus on performance is complemented by the choice of three driving modes: ‘Sport’, ‘Normal’, and ‘Eco’. In ‘Sport’ mode, drivers can unleash the vehicle’s full power for a thrilling ride, while ‘Normal’ mode allows for a top speed of 112mph. ‘Eco’ mode, on the other hand, streamlines settings to maximise efficiency, ensuring that every journey is as sustainable as it is enjoyable.

The exterior of the Mokka GSE is nothing short of striking, featuring sports bumpers in a high-gloss black finish, complete with performance inlets and distinctive GSE badging. The vehicle also comes with a black roof as standard, although a body-colour roof is available at no extra cost. Additional features include Intelli-Lux Matrix LED headlights, LED taillights, and stunning 20-inch GSE performance diamond-cut bi-colour alloy wheels, wrapped in high-grip Michelin Pilot Sport EV tyres. For those looking for enhanced efficiency, the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 tyres are available for an additional £100 and can provide an extra eight miles of range.

Step inside the Mokka GSE, and you’ll find a cabin designed with both comfort and cutting-edge technology in mind. The Alcantara GSE bucket seats provide support and style, while a heated vegan leather steering wheel and aluminium sport pedals add a touch of sophistication to the driving experience. The latest driving assistance and infotainment technologies come as standard, ensuring that drivers are equipped with all the tools they need for a seamless journey.
