The new Opel Mokka was presented in its electric variant, called Mokka-e. This was a declaration of intent on the part of the firm, thus demonstrating one of the strengths of this compact SUV: the variety of its powertrains. The incorporation of the German firm to the PSA group has allowed them to take advantage of the CMP platform, which is adapted to gasoline, diesel and electrification. For this reason, more than any other, the appearance of the Mokka makes sense when there is already an alternative as similar as the Opel Crossland. However, this other SUV of very similar dimensions, prioritizes modularity and habitability, while the newcomer does it for the design and fun at the wheel.
Both Opel options measure 4.15 meters long by 1.79 wide and 1.53 m high , with a wheelbase of 2.55 meters . They rival in the market with options such as the Volkswagen T-Roc, Mazda CX-3 or Fiat 500X, with which we will compare them during the test below. The emotional part is key in the decision to buy a vehicle, so the design and affinity will be final and a weapon in the case of the new Mokka. Not so in the previous model, more anodyne, timeless and homogeneous to classic proposals such as the T-Roc .
During the presentation we were able to drive the 100% electric variant and briefly the 130 hp gasoline option. The first one incorporates a 100 kW block, which is about 136 hp, and offers an approved range of between 300 and 332 kilometers . Its data is not negligible, with an acceleration from 0 to 50 km / h in 3.7 seconds . As we were left with the desire to squeeze the thermal block, we took it with us for an in-depth test, using it as a regular customer would. Only in this way, using it in our day-to-day life, we were able to find its strengths and weaknesses and, finally, recommend it to those looking for a different, agile and fresh car .
