The Opel Mokka is one of those cars that every automaker would want to have, because it is capable of doing good market numbers even in a period of crisis. The small SUV, in fact, has “pulled the cart” in 2012 and 2013, that is, the two worst years in modern history in Rüsselsheim, which then started to recover in 2014 with the arrival of new models such as the Adam, Karl, Run and finally the new Astra. Four years after its debut, and after more than 500,000 copies sold , however, also Mokka needs freshening up and the next Geneva will be the opportunity to give it to him, starting with the name. The Mokka, in fact, become “ X “, ushering in a new nomenclature that will distinguish all Suv Opel . The style became more elegant and more mature, getting some stylistic elements of the new Astra, from which there will also be a major technological transfer. The infotainment system Intellilink , the touch display 7 or 8 inches, services related assistance OnStar ‘s Opel Eye (with all its driver assistance devices) will be the main news.
But the Mokka X may also have the prodigious headlights Adaptive Forward lighting that automatically change the light beam to the situation surrounding environment, illuminating the maximum but without disturb other drivers. Two other goodies (optional) will be front seats AGR certified with 18 adjustments and the massage function and the access system and keyless ignition. Under the hood, finally, there will be no special news, since already the Mokka current benefited from a big update getting the new 1.6 turbodiesel from 110 and 136 hp. The other petrol engine will be the 1.4 Turbo 152 hp, which can be combined with a new 6-speed automatic transmission and an unprecedented system of wheel drive . The latter is of those with “rear axle decoupling”, which in practice means having a electromagnetic clutch with multiple disks, which can distribute up to 100% torque on each axis, by activating the rear one only when needed, improving fuel economy.
