Do you remember the Opel Mokka-e? Well, it’s time to forget about that denomination and burn that of Opel Mokka Electric 2023. The small SUV in electric format changes its name, but there is much more behind its update. They have focused on what really matters: your performance. It is more powerful and offers greater autonomy, always maintaining that differential aesthetic and other benefits such as those it already had in the technological section. One more step in the strategy of the lightning firm, which will be fully electric in 2028.
The first thing is to say that the electric propulsion system of this Opel Mokka changes. A movement similar to the one that Stellantis has made with the Opel Astra Electric or with the Peugeot e-308 and that includes a 156 hp and 260 Nm engine. It is an increase of 20 CV compared to its predecessor and that makes it improve performance. It is now capable of accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in less than 10 seconds, while its top speed is limited to 150 km/h. However, another detail is more important.
The new Mokka Electric mounts a new 54 kWh battery, a capacity slightly higher than the 50 kWh it had before. It has also received some adjustments so that its approved consumption drops to 15.2 kWh/100km, which leaves us with a electric autonomy of up to 406 kilometers. It is almost 20% more than the 338 kilometers it offered before and puts it at a very interesting level for a small SUV. Said battery is kept in the underbody, so it does not reduce space in the passenger compartment or in the trunk.
a recharge 80% can be done in half an hour on a 100 kW DC fast charger. It also accepts three-phase alternating current loads up to 11 kW with the Wallbox. This electric maintains the already known driving modes. The user can choose between Eco, Normal and Sport to adapt their behavior at all times. It has regenerative braking and a B mode, which increases the level of retention, to be more efficient in the city.
Doesn’t change the look one bit of the Opel Mokka Electric, which still looks updated. That is because it was the first of the brand to mount the front with the Opel Vizor. It also maintains its technology thanks to the Pure Panel and its digital screens. In addition, it improved some aspects such as the heat pump to be more efficient and to be able to program the heating through the MyOpel app.
