Opel Mokka: Facelift for More Sharpness - Base Electric Drive Discontinued

With improved infotainment and higher-quality aesthetics, the popular compact SUV enters a new round. In the electric drives, the 115 kW motor takes on the sole operation instead of the less efficient 100 kW drive, bridged by the 100 kW mild hybrid. Starting price is from 36,740 for the BEV, from 29,740 for the hybrid.

The compact SUV Opel Mokka receives a facelift and is now available starting at a base price of 26,740 euros as a 100 kW gasoline engine, as a hybrid with 48-volt technology starting from 29,740 euros, and as the all-electric Mokka Electric with a 115 kW electric motor and up to 403 kilometers of locally emission-free range for 36,740 euros.

"Our Mokka is a bestseller. Bold, clear, and distinctive – a character type that stands out from the crowd. That's why we have only gently sharpened its contemporary design with the new Opel lightning bolt and graphic elements. The biggest change is found in the interior. The cockpit now appears even clearer and echoes the Opel Vizor graphics of the vehicle's front. Additionally, drivers and passengers of the new Mokka will enjoy the next generation of infotainment," advertises Opel CEO Florian Huettl.

Drive: Up to 403 kilometers electrically

In addition to gasoline and 48-volt hybrid, the Mokka now exclusively comes with the 115 kW (156 hp, 260 Nm) powerful electric motor and 54 kWh battery, no longer with the old, inefficient Vitesco EMR3 drive system with 100 kW and 50 kWh battery. The optimized package aims to make up to 403 kilometers achievable. The hybrid combines a 100 kW 1.2-liter turbo gasoline engine with a 21 kW (28 hp) electric motor and a new electrified six-speed dual-clutch transmission in the well-known Stellantis system. This is supposed to significantly reduce consumption, with a claimed 20 percent savings. At low speeds, the hybrid SUV operates purely electrically.

Better Aerodynamics in the Electric

Contributing to further sharpening the Mokka's character is the new lightning bolt at the center of the Vizor brand face. The well-known wing signature of the LED lights on the front and rear shines – like in the new Opel Frontera – in a more modern interpretation: Three "light blocks" instead of a line. In line with the "Greenovation" approach of the Rüsselsheim-based company, special aero wheels on the Mokka Electric as well as the newly designed front bumpers improve aerodynamics, thereby increasing efficiency according to the manufacturer. Furthermore, the new Mokka forgoes any chrome applications in the exterior design.

Detox visually and tactilely

In the interior, all fabrics are made from materials with recycled content. Visually, the "Detox" approach is meant to focus on the essentials. There is a new, flattened steering wheel, new multimedia and navigation infotainment. A 10-inch digital driver info display and an equally large color touchscreen are now standard. In combination with the optional navigation system, a simple "Hey Opel" is enough to use natural voice recognition. Both displays are highly customizable. The system recognizes the driver's personal profile via the connected smartphone, which is always connected "wirelessly." With the Navigation option, maps are updated over-the-air. Thanks to ChatGPT (in conjunction with Connected Navigation), it will learn in the future and independently suggest destinations and route guidance according to the habits of the linked driver profile. The destination can also be sent to the vehicle via the myOpel app. In the Electric, the new infotainment system also offers a special EV route guidance with charging station display. The smartphone can also be charged wirelessly. A USB-C port in the front center console is standard, with the new 180-degree HD reversing camera as an option (standard on the GS).
