Modern, compact, and with an unmistakeable design, the award-winning Opel Mokka is a bestseller for the German brand, earning legions of fans since launch four years ago. A newly updated Mokka benefitting from new colours and a crisper, more contemporary styling both on the outside and the inside, arrived on Opel Dealer forecourts in Ireland this spring. Available in petrol and hybrid from launch, the new-generation Mokka Electric now comes to market in Ireland, to complete the model powertrain portfolio. Retailing from €30,227 inclusive of SEAI grant and VRT rebate for the Mokka Electric SC model, the compact SUV boasts increased range and smooth zero-emissions performance.
He continued: “Even with more power and a longer battery range than its predecessor model, we are introducing this improved range model with particularly keen pricing to remove as many barriers as possible for customers embracing electric motoring. Indeed, our new Mokka Electric is priced under the petrol manual version in Elegance and GS trim. In all trims, the Mokka Electric is more cost effective than its Hybrid equivalent.”
Retailing from €30,227 inclusive of grants, and almost matching the price of the Mokka petrol entry model (€29,995), the Mokka Electric SC price leader model boasts a distinctive style and high level of standard equipment, including newly designed black-grained front/rear bumpers, a chrome-effect front logo and black Vizor frame front face, 16” wheels, a black Modene interior seat trim, extended traffic sign recognition, lane departure warning with lane keeping assist, driver drowsiness alert, forward collision alert, enhanced auto emergency braking with pedestrian detection, six airbags, cruise control with intelligent speed limiter, electronic climate control, 10” driver information display, 10” infotainment touchscreen, Apple Car Play and Android Auto, USB type C connectivity, DAB radio, Opel Connect, auto high beam assist, rain sensitive windscreen wipers and rear park assist.
Priced from €32,570 inclusive of grants, the level two Mokka Electric Elegance trim is priced less than the petrol version (€32,995) or hybrid equivalent (€35,995). It retains the same SC visual features and adds as standard, 17” alloy wheels, a heated steering wheel, heated driver and front passenger seats, a front centre armrest, keyless entry and start, adaptive cruise control, blind spot alert, HD touchscreen graphics with integrated Navigation, wireless charging, electrically adjustable/heated/power folding door mirrors, tinted rear windows, electro-chrome rear view mirror, and front and rear park assist with flank guard and 180-degree panoramic rear view camera.
The range-topping level three Mokka Electric GS model, from €33,975 inclusive of grants, also costs less than the petrol version (€34,495) or hybrid equivalent (€37,495). It gains a painted gloss black roof, 18” alloy wheels, a black logo and Vizor front face trim, high gloss black front/rear bumpers, an integrated black tailgate spoiler, sports alloy pedals and an interior black vegan suede trim, together with Intelli-Lux Matrix headlights, driver seat electrical lumbar adjustment and massage function, a 6-way adjustable passenger seat, and 2 additional USB ports in the rear passenger cabin.
