The Opel Mokka B (sold as the Vauxhall Mokka in the UK) represents a radical departure from its GM-era predecessor. Transitioning to the Stellantis CMP/e-CMP platform, it shed up to 120 kg and introduced Opel's new design language, featuring the 'Opel Vizor' front grille and the 'Pure Panel' digital cockpit. Positioned as a stylish, urban-focused B-SUV, it prioritizes design and agility over outright practicality (rear space and boot capacity are below segment average).

The Opel Mokka B is a triumph of style over ultimate practicality. If you are buying one, the Electric versions (Mokka-e / Mokka Electric) are by far the most recommendable. They suit the car's urban-chic character perfectly and bypass the severe mechanical flaws of the internal combustion engines. The newer 156 PS / 54 kWh EV is the pick of the range if budget allows. If you must buy petrol, strictly avoid the older 1.2 PureTech unless it has a flawless, over-serviced maintenance record, and opt instead for the newer 1.2 Hybrid 48V which features a reliable timing chain. Negotiate hard on early EV models to account for potential OBC or AC compressor replacements.
