Similar to the Peugeot e-208, the Opel Mokka Electric receives a new motor/battery combination, allowing it to gain 20% in range.
Even more than the Corsa, the Mokka has been the model for renewal for Opel. Although the petrol versions make up most of the sales, the electric variant also plays an important role and even accounted for 65% of sales in Germany last month. It has just received a series of technical updates that notably improve its performance.
The most significant progress relates to range. Thanks to a new 54 kWh battery, it increases from 338 to 406 km (WLTP cycle), representing about a 20% gain. However, the Mokka Electric also receives a new motor with power rising from 136 to 156 hp. Torque remains unchanged at 260 Nm. The German compact SUV thus follows the evolution of the DS3 E-Tense and Peugeot e-208.
Opel promises that the vehicle “provides lively starts and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in less than 10 seconds.” Its top speed is limited to 150 km/h. Drivers can choose between 3 driving modes (Eco, Normal, Sport), each with its own balance of performance and efficiency. It is also possible to increase energy recovery during braking by selecting a special mode on the transmission.
Name Change for the Mokka Electric
This set of technical updates is accompanied by a more symbolic change, concerning the vehicle’s name. Formerly Mokka-e, the Franco-German SUV is now officially called Mokka Electric.
The Mokka’s look has hardly changed, neither inside nor outside. To see changes at this level, one must wait for the mid-cycle facelift, which will happen a bit later.
The launch date of the Mokka Electric with the new motor/battery setup has not yet been announced. Prices are also yet to be disclosed.
