Toyota C-HR+ vs Vauxhall Mokka

The Toyota C-HR+ costs £1,990 more than the Vauxhall Mokka. For that premium it adds 36 miles more WLTP range, 50 kW faster peak rapid charging and 106 litres more boot space. On EVcarsguide's combined category scores, the Toyota C-HR+ comes out ahead overall.

The Vauxhall Mokka is £1,990 cheaper to buy. The Toyota C-HR+ is cheaper to charge, roughly £136 a year versus £168 for the Vauxhall Mokka, at 8,000 miles on an off-peak home tariff.

EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 235 miles for the Toyota C-HR+ and 173 miles for the Vauxhall Mokka - both below their WLTP figures, because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. The Toyota C-HR+ goes roughly 63 miles further between charging stops. Both rapid-charge to 80% in a similar time, around 30-30 minutes.

The Toyota C-HR+ is the easier car for tight UK car parks: it is 117 mm narrower than the Vauxhall Mokka. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 530 mm of total clearance for the Toyota C-HR+ and about 413 mm of total clearance for the Vauxhall Mokka. The Vauxhall Mokka also turns in a 0.6 m tighter circle, which helps with U-turns and multi-storey ramps.

Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 84% battery health for the Toyota C-HR+ and 84% for the Vauxhall Mokka. That is close enough that capacity loss should not decide between them. Both use NMC-type cells, so for daily use keep the charge limit near 80% to slow degradation. Both batteries carry a 8-year manufacturer warranty.
