Successor Opel Mokka X loses X.

Opel has itself released an image of the successor to the Mokka X for the first time. The brand immediately announces that the crossover loses its X designation.

Opel has a special naming policy. All of the brand’s crossovers and long-legged animals have an ‘X’ in their model name. Cars like the Crossland X and Grandland X are examples of this. In the Mokka marketed in 2012, that X was even added to the model name in 2016 when the crossover was facelifted. Opel is now showing a first image of the packed successor of the Mokka X, a car that is just going to be called Mokka again. Indeed, without X.

Opel reports that it is busy testing the new Mokka. More interesting is the fact that the brand says that production of the Mokka will start in the last quarter of this year and that the first copies will be delivered early next year.

The new Mokka shares its base with peers such as the DS 3 Crossback and Peugeot 2008. This means that the new Mokka will also be placed on the CMF platform, a base that will enable the arrival of a fully electric version, among other things. Like its French sister models, this electric variant will most likely receive a 50 kWh battery pack, good for a range of more than 300 WLTP kilometers. In the case of the EV version, a 136 hp electric motor is responsible for the drive. Undoubtedly, more conventional motorized petrol versions with PureTech engines will also be on the order lists. The three-cylinder is available in the Peugeot 2008, for example with 100, 130 and 155 hp. Diesel is probably also possible, with PSA diesels starting at 100 hp.

In terms of design, the new Mokka builds on that of the GT X Experimental, a concept car that Opel showed to the world in 2018. Important design elements of that concept car that in a certain sense will also return to the Mokka X are the Opel Compass, a cross / plus shape on the nose, and the Opel Vizor. The latter is more or less dark ‘mask’ on the front, a panel housing thin and flat headlamps. We expect a disclosure later this year.
