Where each one leads

Opel Mokka

• New Opel Mokka cars registered in Europe in 2022 average 90 g/km of CO₂ on the WLTP test, against 132 for the Volkswagen Taigo in 2022.

Volkswagen Taigo

• Fewer Volkswagen Taigo cars in the Netherlands carry an illogical odometer record (0.9% against 2.2%).
• Measured by the cars' own fuel meters, the petrol Volkswagen Taigo uses 6.6 l/100 km on the road, the Opel Mokka 6.9.

Only measures that do not depend on how many cars were sold: pass and failure rates against cars of the same age, ratings, fuel use and CO₂. How we compare
