The outgoing Opel Mokka didn’t quite penetrate the local compact SUV market but when the new generation Opel Mokka was revealed back in 2020, it was a major leap forward over its predecessor, particularly in terms of styling.
The new Mokka is powered by an all-electric powertrain as well as conventional petrol and diesel engines (market dependent).
In South Africa, the new Opel Mokka is only available with a turbocharged 1.2-litre petrol engine with 96 kW and 230 Nm and is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. The electric Mokka has not yet been confirmed for introduction in South Africa.
The Opel Mokka features a thoroughly-modern cabin design.
There are 2 Mokka derivatives on offer in South Africa, including the Mokka Elegance and Mokka GS Line.
The Mokka Elegance is equipped with features such as a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a digital driver’s display, a multifunction steering wheel with paddle shifters, cruise control, cloth upholstery and automatic climate control.
The higher-spec Mokka GS Line adds features such as a larger 10-inch instrument cluster, 12.0-inch digital driver’s display and leather upholstery with a massage function. Both derivatives are equipped with heated seats.
In terms of practicality, both Mokka derivatives feature 60:40 split seats as well as a 310-litre load bay.
In terms of safety, the new Mokka Elegance is equipped with 6 airbags, ABS with EBD, brake assist, electronic stability program, hill start assist, blind-spot detection, driver attention alert, lane-keeping assist, speed sign recognition, forward brake assist and cruise control. The Mokka GS Line adds features such as adaptive cruise control, active lane-keeping assist, lane departure warning and forward collision avoidance and mitigation.
