I have a Mocca E and after 2months I am glad I chose this model. It drives superbly, is comfortable and all round visibility is good. There are afew things which are annoying. First thing is the use of the shiny plastic in the front, forever cleaning it. Another thing is the lack of space in the boot. Once you have charged the car the charging lead takes up a lot of the available space. I feel that the front seat belts should be adjustable for height is another annoying point. Ther is no 12 volt supply point in the rear of the vehicle, this is very useful for drivers when camping or for a cool box on a day out. I had a Grandland X before this Mocca and it had rear view mirrors which tilted down when reverse is selected, a extremely useful thing to have when reversing in a very tight spot. Not essential I know but being disabled I found it helpful. Over all I am pleased with my choice and for those who like a bit of Vip when pulling away or entering a motorway from the access lane the Sport mode is great.

thankyou for the honest review, were about to place an order for a mokka-e ultimate and other the the paid or reviews by people who only just got the car its nice to see a hands on review to see all the bits you dont get to hear from the dealer

I am thinking of going electric in July,and need to order in a few weeks.My BMW grand tourer (7 seater),only gets around 25mpg around town.Don't need 7 seats anymore,so looking to save a bit on running costs.I only drive around town,motorway driving extremely rare so not an issue.I was looking at the Mokka e,so your review was very helpful for me.I am able to get the ultimate edition if i want it,and hope to view and test drive next week.

I tried both. They come with the same battery and some how get the same miles even though the Mokka is bigger. For me it came down to size and looks. The Mokka is bigger, looks a lot nicer and nicer inside. It was worth the extra money.

Just an update for everyone from my previous comment,i have this week ordered a brand new Mokka e.I did order the ultimate edition,but here in the U.K there is a 8 month waiting list.So hope to see it around January 2023,but most brands are suffering similar delays of new vehicles.

If you can accept driving at 55 - 60mph on the motorway and drive smoothly 170 - 180+ is easily doable in fine weather.

I / we only do a few 'long distance' journeys a year as a family, so the reduced motorway mileage wouldn't bother me. Still rocking 2 x Diesel's, both doing 55mpg. Main problem is our less than 8k (combined!) annual miles. Replacing our main vehicle (2nd hand but full spec Nissan Qashqai) with an SUV EV wouldn't get anywhere near to saving money, in fact even the MG ZS (tall family) would end up costing us an extra £300-400pm.

So we have had a petrol automatic Mokka for 12 months. So the lane control is a pain. Getting in the back is another issue. So kids will be ok but if your an adult you will have issues getting in and out. We have the keyless entry. We have given up on this as it is so temperamental. Then one big issue is when we go to open the car with the key fob. We find the car will not open. The key fob stops working. So we have a trick now to get round this. We have to open and close the boot. Which I am guessing because we have keyless entry it allows us to do this. Then the key fob comes back to life. We can now open the car with the key fob. The car has been back 7 times to the dealer. Still not fixed.

Hopefully they will be fixed on recall. The joys of buying a new model.

My wife has an identical white SRI NAV Premium Mokka E, and we have found that it, probably like all Stellantis EVs, stubbornly refuses to let a home smart charger do it's job of controlling the EV charging. Instead of that the Mokka E has a "Delayed Start Charging" function built in which must be used to align the charging with a cheap rate electricity tariff. If you want to look after your EV lithium-ion battery it is common knowledge that operating within the 20%-80% start of charge is best, limiting charging to 100% to only when necessary when a very long journey is about to be done. For the rest of the time unfortunately for some reason there isn't an "End charging" option, therefore charging will always proceed to 100% unless manually stopped by unlocking the doors and unplugging etc. Obviously if you don't care about the longevity of your battery then keep charging it to 100%, even when it's not necessary. Hope this helps.

My Mokka E has a DAB radio fault and sadly 6 month down the line still waiting on a fix. Apart from that I love the car and charging at home through OVO energy is only costing me 6.7p KWH which in lay man terms the car running costs are around 3p a mile. Bargain
