Is the Opel Mokka a good car?
The Mokka is an excellent car for couples or small families, but it's not cheap, and Stellantis parts can be pricey.
Who is the Mokka a good car for?
Anyone who needs a stylish and fashionable compact SUV will love the Mokka.
Is the Opel Mokka a good first car?
New, second-generation Mokkas are quite pricey. You'd be much better off looking for a first-generation Mokka or the more recent, facelifted Mokka X.
(Click to search AutoTrader.) It's excellent for new drivers but remember what we said about some parts being expensive or hard to find at times.
Is the Opel Mokka a good family car?
The Mokka scores full marks for safety and is great for those with kids, but it's not meant for big families as the boot is relatively small.
Is there a hybrid Opel Mokka?
Not in SA. There are Mokka-e models in overseas markets which are fully electric.

What’s it like to drive?
Reviewer's opinion
The 1.2T Puretech engine (good for 96 kW and 230 Nm), mated to the 8-speed auto transmission, made light work of the open roads towards the West Coast and back, and the suspension felt pliant enough on dirt and grass when we pulled over for a quick photo stop.
The Mokka's three different driving modes comprise Sport, Eco, and Normal. It was no surprise that Sport felt sufficiently athletic, but Eco mode was rather lively too. Prod the accelerator hard enough and the Mokka accelerates with zeal even in Eco mode! In Sport, our average consumption quickly climbed to 9 litres per 100 km (my co-driver's right foot is notoriously heavy), but the short economy run into town in Eco mode yielded an average of 6.2 litres per 100 km, including some trafficky bits. I'd say an average of around 7 litres per 100 km is a safe bet for normal, day-to-day driving.
