The Opel Mokka is one of the most successful representatives of its class. And he also shows himself from his best side.
The Opel Mokka has international connections. At the end of 2012 he came under GM on the market. Initially, he ran exclusively in South Korea from the tapes, since 2014 he is also produced in Spain. And runs and runs and runs. The compact SUV was for years in the registration statistics on the top of the table. Since an extensive refresher 2016 leads the Mokka additionally an X in the name.
Body and interior: With a length of almost 4,30 meters the Opel belongs to the typical representatives of its class. Thanks to its height (1,66 m) it gives its occupants a good overview of the traffic. The entry and exit succeed here also typical of the class without any special efforts. An advantage that is liked by no longer quite juvenile buyers. Optically, the mocha chooses the middle ground between robust and friendly appearance. The space is okay, not too long grown passengers sit in the rear satisfactory. For rider and passenger, back-friendly EGR seats are on offer. The trunk volume is between 356 and 1.372 liters depending on the backrest position. The cockpit of the models without X in the name is still marked by many buttons and switches. Since 2016, the mocha vehicles are more tidy. You now have new generations of infotainment and assistants.
Motors and drive:
The selection of engines is quite large. The offer ranges from gasoline 85 kW / 115 PS to 103 kW / 140 PS. For the diesel engines, engines from 96 kW / 130 PS up to 100 kW / 136 PS are available. The power transmission takes place depending on the engine via five- or six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission. All-wheel is available for the strongest aggregates.
The 115 PS petrol engine is an 1,6-liter vacuum cleaner that was in the program until 2016. The X models have all turbo engines on board. Until 2015, an 1.7CDTI from Isuzu provided with 130 PS and 300 Newtonmeter torque for propulsion. The slightly rough diesel was then replaced by a smoother 1.6 CDTI. This is also available in a version with 110 PS. In addition, Opel also offers a LPG version for the mocha.
Equipment and safety:
The three standard mocha outfits are Selection, Edition and Innovation. The safety package includes all important control systems and all-round airbag protection. Accordingly, there were five stars at EuroNCAP. Most customers choose the middle and highest comfort line, so many well-equipped vehicles are available in the market. The newer vehicles also have modern assistance systems. Interesting for cyclists: the integrated carrier system FlexFix, which can be pulled out of the rear bumper like a drawer.
Quality:
The small Opel SUV scores so far with a low susceptibility to defects. Neither rust nor abnormalities on brakes, lighting system or suspension parts make him to create. Both the under-three and the under-five persuade by good results in the main studies. However, one should pay attention to a possible oil loss. There are certainly copies that have to fight with it.
And finally ...
There are few reasons not to consider the Opel Mokka with or without X as second-hand. Among other things, speaks the low deficiencies for him. In addition, there is the small SUV with many extras, in addition, he is also available with four-wheel drive. The latter is not always self-evident in this class. The only downside for prospective customers: He is traded quite expensive. Even seven-year-old specimens with six-digit mileage still cost about 10.000 Euro. For a three year old Mocha X you have to invest at least 15.000 Euro.
