Step up to the 1.4-litre turbo and there’s a choice of six-speed manual with two or four-wheel drive or six-speed automatic (front-wheel drive only). The current 1.4T makes 138bhp and 147lb ft between 1850-4900, though this will improve to 151bhp when the Mokka X arrives.
The ‘Whisper Diesel’ is a 1.6-litre turbocharged unit is available with outputs of 108bhp and 134bhp. The lower powered unit makes 221lb ft at 2000 to 2250rpm and the higher makes a useful 236lb ft from 2000- to 2250rpm. A new six-speed manual, 1.6 CDTi with 108bhp will be available when the Mokka X debuts, which should bring further benefits in refinement and economy.
The higher powered 1.6 diesel can be had as a front-wheel drive manual, front-wheel drive auto or 4x4 manual. The lower powered unit only comes in front-wheel drive manual form.
