The second-generation Opel Mokka (Mokka B) marks a complete break from its predecessor. Based on the Stellantis group's CMP/e-CMP platform (shared with the Peugeot 2008 and DS 3 Crossback), it introduces the brand's new stylistic language with the "Opel Vizor" grille and the "Pure Panel" digital cockpit. Shorter, lighter, and more dynamic than generation A, it positions itself as an urban SUV with an assertive design. While its road qualities and ergonomics are praised, its rear passenger space and boot volume are inferior to the competition. Mechanically, it inherits PSA engines (PureTech, BlueHDi), rebranded for the occasion, with their pleasant driving characteristics but also their chronic reliability weaknesses, although the recent arrival of micro-hybrid (MHEV) versions with a timing
The Opel Mokka B is a beloved SUV thanks to its successful design and driving pleasure. However, its reliability record is heavily burdened by the legacy of Stellantis engines (PureTech and BlueHDi). Purchasing a used classic 1.2 Turbo or 1.5 Diesel version requires extreme vigilance regarding its service history. For a worry-free purchase, absolutely prioritize the 100% electric version (Mokka Electric) or the brand-new micro-hybrid version (1.2 Turbo Hybrid 136hp) equipped with a timing chain, which transforms the Mokka into a highly recommendable choice.
