The MOKE is a recreational vehicle manufactured by Chery Automobile in China since 2013 and assembled by a variety of companies in the United States, United Kingdom, France, and others. The design, by British industrial designer Michael Young, evokes the classic Mini Moke built from 1964 until 1993. The name "Mini Moke" combines Mini with Moke, an archaic term for mule.[1][2] The new version is simply called "MOKE".
The original Mini Moke was conceived and manufactured as a lightweight military vehicle by British Motor Corporation (BMC), and subsequently marketed for civilian use by that company's various successor companies and subsidiaries. It was known for its simple, straightforward, doorless design, and for its adaptability. While the original design was also sold for utility purposes, the new Moke is mainly meant for recreational use, as a beach car, or as a neighborhood vehicle.
The MOKE revival began as a joint venture between Jaguar Land Rover and Chinese automaker Chery Automobile,[3] although ownership of the "Moke" trademark is disputed.[4] Moke America LLC distributes the vehicle in the United States,[5] while British production by Moke International Ltd. restarted in 2018 (this company was subsequently acquired by EV Technology Group in 2022).[6][7][8]
