Bold new Opel Mokka is here: South African pricing and specs announced
The new Opel Mokka is a bold departure from its somewhat conservative predecessor in more ways than one.
Not only does it sport an edgy new look, complete with Opel’s ‘Visor’ face that you’ll see on all future models, but it also makes the transition from the old General Motors architecture to its new owner Stellantis’s Common Modular Platform.
South Africans will get to choose between two models, the Mokka 1.2T Elegance that’s priced at R469 900 and the 1.2T GS Line that requires a stretch to R519 900.
Both are powered by the familiar Peugeot-designed 1.2-litre three-cylinder turbopetrol engine, as also found in the latest Opel Corsa. Paired with a standard eight-speed automatic gearbox, the little motor produces produces 96kW and 230Nm.
Granted, it has less power than its 1.4T predecessor, but keep in mind that the new Opel Mokka weighs up to 120kg less than its predecessor. The new model is 125mm shorter than before, although the wheelbase has grown by 2mm, and despite the shorter overhangs Opel claims to have achieved a similar load capacity of 350 litres.

Opel Mokka (2022) Launch Review
2022 Opel Mokka pricing & after-sales support
There are 2 Mokka derivatives on offer: Elegance and GS Line. The vehicle is sold with a 4-year/60 000 km service plan and a 3-year/120 000 km warranty. Customers can choose from 6 colours, including this insane Matcha Green.
Mokka Elegance R469 900
Mokka GS Line R519 900
Summary
This new Opel Mokka is striking to look at, both inside and out. It’s quite a revolutionary departure from the so-so previous-generation model and, by virtue of utilising the excellent platforms and powertrains from its Peugeot and Citroen Stellantis siblings, the newcomer is a far more resolved product than its predecessor. It’s better in every respect, in fact.
However, to succeed in this ultra-competitive segment, a vehicle needs to be more than good. Our initial impressions suggest the Opel Mokka is a competent, well-equipped and fashionable product that’s likely to apply to upwardly mobile young adults. We look forward to spending more time with the newcomer in the coming weeks.

Opel Mokka (2022) Launch Review
The boldly-styled Opel Mokka has arrived in SA and we've driven the new small crossover. In an already congested segment, what does it bring to the table?

First Drive: Opel Mokka 1.2T GS Line 1.2T A/T
Considering the extensive features list, it’s clear to see which direction Opel has chosen for the Mokka. And that’s no bad thing.
Having said that, while the commonality of its shared componentry is by no means unique to the machinations required to survive in the piranha pool of today’s automotive enterprise, given Opel’s once-illustrious history, the convenient if necessary artifice of its borrowed DNA makes it challenging to subjectively identify a standout personality in the new Mokka.
Perhaps that’s the point. New (and in the case of the Mokka – tarred urban) paths exist to be found and trails to be blazed, with drivers as the masters of their destiny; where sometimes divorce from the tentacles of history are a benefit instead of a burden.
It’s a brave new world.

DRIVEN: Striking New Opel Mokka is great to drive and enticingly specced
The new Opel Mokka is likely to throw a spanner in the works within the segment. It's eye-catching, has a very decent spec and as buyers lean more towards connectivity and technology they won’t be disappointed.
It comes with a three-year/120 000km warranty and a four-year/60 000km service plan.

DRIVEN | Opel channels yesteryear's Manta for its hot new Mokka compact crossover now in SA
• Opel has launched its new Mokka compact crossover earlier in April.
• Now in its third-generation, the latest Mokka reveals the brand's new direction.
• While styling is on fleek, pricing may be an issue in a saturated segment.
Does it have what it takes to compete in the local compact SUV market?
But, does Opel stand a chance to rake in the numbers with this car? The automaker says its rivals are that of the VW T-Cross, T-Roc, Mazda CX-30, and many more. But, the Mokka ticks many boxes, even with legroom being a bit tight in the rear seats. It's frugal, styling is on point, and it could just be what the brand needs to breathe new life into the brand for its re-awakening. This revival is long overdue, and if the rest of their incoming products are based on this new direction. They just need to get the pricing right.
Peace of mind motoring
The Mokka has a standard three years or 120 000km warranty and Roadside Assistance. Service intervals are every 12 months or 15 000km but are covered by the Mokka's four years or 60 000km service plan.
