Stellantis has been rolling out a spectrum of new vehicles in all of their subsidiary companies over the past year. Today, the limelight is on Rüsselsheim based manufacturer and their new SUV. Say hello to the funky looking Opel Mokka, we quite like the looks and the pricing isn’t too bad either.
After 1 million sales internationally throughout its production cycle, the third generation of the funky looking Opel Mokka has finally arrived on our shores. Based on the Stellantis CMP architecture, the new Mokka is more than 100 kg lighter than its predecessor, while also gaining torsional stiffness thanks to Open engineering and precision. 
South Africa will receive two trim levels of the Corsa based SUV, namely being the Elegance and the top-spec GS Line. The GS Line includes standout safety features such as active cruise control, active lane keep assist and forward collision avoidance. The interior offers a 10-inch infotainment system with onboard navigation and a 12-inch digital driver’s cluster while occupants get to enjoy leather seats that have massage capability. 
The Elegance derivative on the other hand includes a 7-inch infotainment system with a 7-inch digital cluster for the driver. The long list of standard safety features include lane keep assist, forward brake assist, blind spot detection and cruise control. Both models in the range employ 17-inch rims with the Elegance equipped with bi-colour alloy wheels as opposed to the black alloy wheels on the GS Line.
Both models are equipped with a 96 kW and 230 N.m 1.2-litre petrol engine which is paired to an 8-speed automatic transmission. The claimed 6,1 L/100 km in the funky looking Opel Mokka paired with its 44 litre fuel tank means the SUV can go over 700 km between filling up.
Pricing starts from R469 900 on the Elegance while the GS Line is a smidge over half a million, asking R519 900. Both come with a 4 year / 60 000 km service plan and 3 year / 120 000 km warranty.
