This is the novelty of this beginning of the year which comes to decorate in a very beautiful way all the showrooms of Opel in the Kingdom. The brand’s importer (SMAA- Auto Hall Group) has recently marketed the Mokka, an urban SUV that is well in tune with the times and has solid arguments capable of attracting customers.
Playing the card of differentiation to stand out from the competition, moreover, in a segment as highly competitive as that of SUVs, such was the leitmotif of the Opel engineering staff. And to tell the truth, the result seems really up to par. First, in terms of style where this new generation of Mokka displays a very assertive silhouette, recognizable among all.
The machine inherits a black grille of the most beautiful effect stamped with the new logo of the brand with, at its ends, fine LED lights. The very worked sides and the nicely penciled rear part give a nice impression of dynamism to the whole.

Seating comfort is very significant with, for the driver, a six-axis adjustable seat as standard, and mixed upholstery available from the GS Line version, to instil a sporty atmosphere on board. In terms of practical tips, occupants can inductively charge their smartphones.
It should be noted that the Mokka is really full of safety equipment from the entry-level version since there are many driving aids, such as the tire under-inflation alert, the brake electric parking, cruise control and speed limiter, rear parking assistance, 180-degree panoramic reversing camera, Driver Assistance Pack including improved traffic sign recognition, active lane keeping assistance, and the low-speed collision avoidance system with automatic emergency braking and pedestrian detection…
