OPEL MOKKA REVEALED with new Opel design, style and freedom of power choice
Meet probably Opel’s most important new car in 50 years. The all-new Mokka not only brings a brand new Opel look and a fully digital Opel cockpit for the first time. It is also the first new Opel model since PSA acquired the marque from General Motors
The striking new Mokka bears the first real fruit of that new Franco-German entente. It gets electric, gasoline and diesel engines and hits the road in Europe in 2021.
Unusually, it is shorter than the Crossland X but wheelbase grows. So it has shorter overhangs and similar space for occupants. The 4.15m long newcomer weighs in a significant 120kg lighter too
COOL NEW DESIGN LANGUAGE
Mokka gets Opel all-new Vizor design language. New wing-shaped daytime running lights integrate with a bead in the bonnet. And two lines that meet in the centre of the grille. That headlines Ope’s that will characterise all future models.
Inside you’ll find the fully digital new Opel Pure Panel digital cockpit. Its dual screens sit behind a common fascia. The most important functions are controlled by buttons. If features voice controlled Apple Car-Play and Android Auto multimedia.
Add live traffic sign recognition and OpelConnect navigation, emergency calls and roadside assistance. There’s also inductive smartphone charging in the centre console.
New Mokka will also be the first Opel to get sporty GS-Line equipment. That adds black wheel rims, two-tone paintwork and red design accents outside and in. Optional leather ergonomic and comfort seats get air-conditioning and a massage function.
Mokka gets standard all-round LED lighting with optional 14 element IntelliLux LED matrix light illumination. Options also include adaptive cruise control, a 180-degree reversing camera and active Lane Keeping Assist.
