Opel and Vauxhall have started teasing the next-generation Mokka, which will be a big departure over its predecessor developed in the GM era.
Under PSA’s ownership, the subcompact SUV is expected to be based on the EMP1 platform (also known as CMP) found in the new Corsa F as well as the latest Peugeot 208, 2008 and DS3 Crossback.
Expect the usual assortment of small internal combustion engines, as well as an electric model that will be available from launch. Little is known about the zero-emission Mokka, although it could be dubbed the Mokka-e, like the Corsa-e hatch. The latter packs an electric motor delivering 136 PS (134 HP / 100 kW) and 260 Nm (192 lb-ft) of torque, connected to a 50 kWh battery that gives it a WLTP-rated range of almost 330 km (205 miles).

In case you forgot, the DS3 Crossback E-Tense also comes with a 134 HP electric motor and a 50 kWh battery, so it’s likely that the Mokka-e might follow in its footsteps. If this is true, then it will accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (0-62 mph) in under 9 seconds and have a range similar to the Corsa-e.
We’ve already seen the new generation Mokka testing in the open, and it’s clearly a major departure from its predecessor. The design appears to have been inspired by the new Corsa and the car also sports shorter overhangs, as well as a roofline that descends more dramatically towards the back.
The interior promises to be fully digitized, with “a modern and progressive look”, according to the company. Production of the second-gen Mokka is scheduled to commence at the end of the year, with the electric version expected to be available right from the start. Deliveries will kick off in early 2021.
