Designed without any input from BMW or MINI, the 21st century Moke looks almost identical to the original version but it packs new tail lamps and a different radiator grille. It is available in orange, white, red, green, blue and yellow and sits on 13-inch alloy wheels.
Still as a Spartan as ever, the Moke’s interior offers four bucket seats and a minimalist instrument cluster mounted in the middle of the dashboard. It does not come with features like ABS brakes, airbags and electronic stability control.
The new Moke is powered by a 1.0-liter fuel-injected four-cylinder engine borrowed from the diminutive Chery QQ, one of China’s most popular cars. It sends 50 horsepower and 72 lb-ft. of torque to the front wheels via either a five-speed manual transmission or an optional automatic.
Moke International is working with Chery to launch an all-electric version of the car called eMoke. Technical details are vague at best but it will offer a maximum range of 74 miles and a top speed of 37 mph.
The company is currently filing the required paperwork to ship a limited number of Mokes to Europe but the battle is far from won because of the car’s primitive design. The new Moke is currently on sale in Thailand and it might reach Australian shores before the end of the year.<![CDATA[
