The new Long-Range variant joins the existing version and features a new 156hp electric motor that enables acceleration from 0-62mph in 9 seconds (0.2 seconds faster than the 136PS powertrain) and achieves a top-speed of 93mph.
Already seen in models such as the Astra and Astra Sports Tourer Electric, the powertrain is rounded out by a next-generation 54kWh lithium-ion battery, a new heat pump and a focus on efficiency. These help the new arrival to deliver a WLTP range of up to 252 miles – up by 20% on the current version – and a miles per kW figure of 4.0-4.1 miles per kWh (WLTP Combined Low-High).
The existing Mokka Electric model remains available; it features a 136PS motor, along with a 50kWh battery, offering a WLTP range of up to 209 miles.
Prices for the Mokka Electric start from £36,610, with the new Long Range variant available for an extra £1,000 across each trim level.
As with the rest of the fully electric Vauxhall range, the Mokka Electric Long Range supports 100kW DC rapid charging, with a 20%-80% charge taking just 27 minutes to complete. It comes with a three-phase 11kW AC onboard charger as standard, enabling a 20-80% charge in 3 hours 10 minutes from an 11kW public charger, or 4 hours 40 minutes from a 7kW home wallbox.
It also delivers a choice of three driving modes – Eco, Normal and Sport – and the option of enhanced regenerative braking to preserve range, activated by pressing ‘B’ mode via a button on the gear selector.
