Infotainment

You get a seven-inch infotainment touchscreen as standard in the Vauxhall Mokka.

This isn’t the most responsive system out there but the menus are laid out fairly logically and the physical shortcut buttons on the dashboard are easier to use than the (arguably cooler-looking) piano-key controls you get in the Peugeot 2008.

You don’t get sat-nav on entry-level models, but that doesn’t really matter because you can connect your smartphone using Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and use your preferred apps through the car’s touchscreen as standard instead.

You also get a seven-inch digital driver’s display instead of conventional analogue dials in every Mokka. This is easy to read and you can cycle through various menus using shortcut buttons on the steering wheel.

It’s a shame that these buttons aren’t laid out exactly how you’d expect, which can make them a little frustrating to use at first.

Go for a higher-spec car and you get a larger 10-inch touchscreen system that’s easier to read on the move, and comes with built-in sat-nav. Although, this navigation system isn’t as easy to use as Google Maps or Waze, so you’re better off using these apps through the Mokka’s standard smartphone mirroring features instead.

High-spec cars come with a 12-inch driver’s display instead of the standard seven-inch item. This is even easier to read and comes with a few extra display options.

Unlike in the Peugeot 2008, the Vauxhall Mokka comes with conventional knobs and buttons to control the heating and air conditioning This is a big improvement and makes it much easier to quickly turn down the heating without taking your eyes off the road.
