The second-generation Opel Mokka (internally known as Mokka B) marks a radical departure from its predecessor. Transitioning to the Stellantis CMP (Common Modular Platform), it shed up to 120 kg while becoming slightly shorter and wider, resulting in a much more dynamic stance. It was the first model to introduce the 'Opel Vizor' front fascia and the 'Pure Panel' digital cockpit, setting the design language for the brand's future. Available with petrol, diesel, mild-hybrid, and fully electric powertrains, the Mokka is a versatile B-segment crossover. However, sharing its mechanical underpinnings with the Peugeot 2008 and DS 3 Crossback means it also inherits the well-documented reliability traits of the Stellantis powertrain family.
The Opel Mokka B is a triumph of design, transforming a previously dull crossover into one of the most stylish vehicles in its class. It drives well and the electric versions are highly competent urban and suburban cruisers. However, as an independent expert, I must urge extreme caution regarding the standard 1.2 Turbo petrol and 1.5 Diesel engines due to the well-documented Stellantis wet-belt and AdBlue/cam-chain failures. If you are buying a Mokka, the Electric versions or the newly introduced 1.2 Hybrid (with the timing chain) are the only powertrains that can be recommended with confidence. For older ICE models, negotiate hard and demand a flawless, shortened-interval service history.
