NEW OPEL MOKKA MAKES UAE DEBUT

A car designed to arouse emotions and show the way forward for the brand, the new Opel Mokka is now available in the UAE and is one of the first models to wear the redesigned brand face, the Opel Vizor. The same goes for the redesigned Opel Blitz lightning bolt emblem and the centrally aligned model name at the rear.

In addition to the design, the new Mokka is also the first Opel that features the new GTx Pure Panel infotainment system. Two trims are available in the region, with iconic German engineering clearly visible in the GS line, which features 17” alloy wheels as well as the Ultimate, which features 18” alloy wheels. Both models are powered by a 1.2 Litre turbocharged petrol engine with an output of 130 hp and 230 Nm of torque linked to an eight- speed automatic transmission.

With its edgy new look and dynamic design, the new Opel Mokka ticks all the boxes for the younger consumer looking for the perfect car with style and personality. It impresses with perfect proportions and precision down to the smallest detail. Its short overhangs and wide stance are typical of the bold, pure appearance of the 4.15-metre long compact five-seater, highlighting its presence on the road.

The most striking feature of the front view is the unmistakable Opel Vizor and the Mokka’s interior also reflects this new, bold design language. The new GTx Pure Panel, which is the source of the new infotainment system, integrates two widescreen displays. In contrast to digital cockpits overloaded with information and controls, the GTx Pure Panel features a simple and clear design, understandable at a glance.

The new Mokka stays true to Opel’s brand-defining tradition of making innovative technologies from higher market segments available to a wide range of buyers. These include options such as Advanced Cruise Control (ACC), wireless phone charging and the adaptive and glare-free IntelliLux LED® matrix light system, which features 14 elements that are unique in the Mokka’s market segment. All model variants come as standard with an electric parking brake as well as front and rear parking sensors. A 180-degree rear view camera, Automatic Park Assist and Side Blind Spot Alert are also available.

The new Mokka connects and entertains drivers and passengers perfectly. The infotainment offer includes Multimedia Radio and Multimedia Navi systems with a 7.0-inch colour touchscreen found in the GS Line and the top-of-the-line Multimedia Navi Pro with a high-resolution 10.0-inch colour touchscreen found in the Ultimate. The monitors are integral with the new GTx Pure Panel and angled towards the driver. The display of the Driver Info Centre extends to 12 inches.
