I've chopped my grandland in against it, so I'm having hers.

[YZ250]

Nice, 1.2 petrol and barely seven months old so should hopefully serve her well.    That colour is becoming more common on a lot of manufacturers cars.

Saves putting top coat on!

My son has a VAG car in this or similar colour. He’s become immune to that comment now.

What is it ?
Some kind of VX badged Peugeot ?

Has it got the 1.2 PureTec engine?

I believe that although the engine design is related to the PureTec engine, the later petrol models, especially if it’s a Mild Hybrid, feature a timing chain as opposed to the earlier dreaded wet belt.

Peugeot 3008 floor pan with a Vauxhall Grandland body sat on it I believe. I'd say it's a better, more practical body shape than the Peugeot, which can't make up its mind whether it's an SUV or a coupe.

It's an old colour. My first car had a front wing in that colour. Back then we called it grey primer not some pretentious arty farty name.

Nice car though.

Did you manage to secure a government grant toward the cost of the car?

In Scotland the SNP are offering a £57500 grant /discount against a new Jaguar. Very generous of them.

It's a Mokka ultimate 1.2 turbo, in a colour my wife specifically chose. Happy wife=happy life 

[Marks DTM Calib]

Gen 3 engines had the chain (EB2LTEDH2), gen 2 the belt (EB2DTS), you can't really go based on year as there was a time they were fitting both (dependent on if it was MHEV or not).

Short of a cylinder still though (I would argue short of three at least  )

Vauxhall Grandland I believe.......

A Mokka.    Just shows how unfamiliar I am with all of these later SUV types.

Many cars share the same platform these days. A Vauxhall can be a Renault, Citroen, or Pug underneath.

..... . Did she also choose the delightful shade of green for your Astra?

I think Audi call their grey primer Nardo grey, and BMW call their grey primer Brooklyn grey. What do Vauxhall call their version of grey primer?
