Vauxhall Mokka GSE

Electric Vauxhall Mokka GSE now on sale, based on Rally version

The Electric Vauxhall Mokka GSE (Grand Sport Electric) is now on sale, based on the Mokka GSE Rally version. The roadgoing version features 281hp and 345Nm of torque – identical to the Mokka GSE Rally – with a 0-62mph time of 5.9 seconds and a 124 mph top speed, making it the fastest Vauxhall all-electric production model.

The Mokka GSE has uprated suspension, steering and brakes, as well as a 10mm lower ride height, and the front-wheel drive chassis features a Torsen limited-slip differential. There are three driving modes, Sport, Normal and Eco.

The Mokka GSE sits on 20-inch GSE performance diamond-cut two-tone alloy wheels, with high-grip Michelin Pilot Sport EV tyres.

The exterior and the interior both benefit from GSE design enhancements.

The 54kWh (gross) lithium-ion battery delivers a range of up to 209 miles (WLTP). Battery recharging from 0-80% takes 30 minutes using a 100kW DC rapid charger, while a 0-100% charge from an 11kW AC charger will take 5 hours and 45 minutes. An 11kW on-board charger with Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) capability is fitted as standard; a V2L adapter is available as an accessory through Vauxhall retailers.

The motorsport version – the Vauxhall Mokka GSE Rally – is the first vehicle developed to the FIA’s new eRally5 regulations.

The Mokka GSE can trace its lineage back to a long line of attainable performance models, beginning with the Astra GTE Mk1 in 1984. In 1987, the Vauxhall Nova also received the GTE treatment, with a 100bhp 1.6-litre fuel-injected engine, a kerb weight of just 876kg and a 117mph top speed.

The Mokka GSE is available from just £35,495 (including the Electric Car Grant), with the Electric All In pack offering an additional £500 towards a home charger or public charging.
