Electric Opel Mokka now priced at € 36,740 as a battery-powered model
The British automaker Opel has announced the launch of its latest electric vehicle, the Mokka GSe, a compact SUV that promises to deliver a thrilling driving experience while prioritising sustainability.
Powered by a 156 PS electric motor and a 54 kWh battery pack, the Mokka GSe boasts an impressive range of up to 403 kilometers (according to the WLTP standard). This makes it a compelling choice for those seeking an electric vehicle with a compact battery size.
The Mokka GSe's interior is designed with eco-consciousness in mind, with all materials sourced from recycled materials. The infotainment system, which can be operated like a smartphone using widgets, recognises the driver's personal profile via their connected smartphone.
One of the standout features of the Mokka GSe is its special electric vehicle route guidance, which offers a display of charging stations. This feature, along with the optional navigation system that responds to the command "Hey Opel", makes navigating and charging on-the-go a breeze.
The Mokka GSe's performance credentials are evident in its acceleration from 0 to 62 mph in just 5.9 seconds, making it the fastest electric model from Opel/Vauxhall. Its lightweight build, under 1,600 kg, contributes to its impressive performance characteristics.
The Mokka GSe's handling and ride comfort are further improved by a mechanical Torsen multi-plate limited-slip differential, specially designed axles, double hydraulic shock absorbers, and a new rear axle that is 189% stiffer than the standard Mokka Electric.
Safety is not compromised in the Mokka GSe, with upgraded front brakes featuring four-piston calipers and 380 mm diameter discs. The SUV rides on aerodynamically optimised 20-inch wheels fitted with Michelin Pilot Sport EV tires, ensuring excellent grip and efficiency.
The Mokka GSe offers a single-speed electronic drive selector with modes for Park, Reverse, Neutral, Drive, and Braking. Drivers can choose among Sport, Normal, and Eco modes, which adjust the throttle response, top speed, torque, and energy consumption accordingly.
The Mokka GSe's charging flap includes a padlock LED that shows charging status with different colours. The SUV is designed to appeal to drivers looking for a fun yet practical electric vehicle in the subcompact SUV segment, with a blend of electrification and driving pleasure.
The Mokka GSe is priced at 36,740 euros, making it more affordable than its previous electric version, which started at 40,800 euros. This competitive pricing, coupled with its impressive performance and eco-friendly features, positions the Mokka GSe as a strong contender in the electric vehicle market.
