Vauxhall Mokka-e vs Kia e-Niro: verdict and specifications
While styling is typically subjective, the Mokka-e stands out with its fresh design both inside and outside, especially against the aging e-Niro
1st: Vauxhall Mokka-e Elite Nav Premium – 4.0 stars
The Vauxhall Mokka-e is an attractive, well equipped, relaxing and fun to drive compact electric SUV that rightly took the win in this test.

2nd: Kia e-Niro 39kWh – 4.0 stars
Despite the Kia e-Niro’s age compared to the recently launched Mokka-e, it remains a solid choice for an affordable electric SUV, with plenty of space and practicality over the Vauxhall. But, it’s simply not as good to drive as the Mokka-e and the e-Niro’s interior cannot match the Vauxhall’s, especially in the entry-level like our test car. Plus monthly payments through a typical PCP deal are also higher. Read our full review for more.
