Fresh brew: updated Opel Mokka now serving in Mzansi
The facelifted Opel Mokka has arrived in South Africa with a number of updated styling and tech features. Exterior highlights include revised front and rear bumpers for improved aerodynamics and new Eco LED headlamps with upgraded lenses that are said to offer better night-time visibility. The sleek German crossover also gets a new Opel badge on the Vizor radiator grille, bootlid and alloy wheel centre caps. Electrically adjustable and foldable side mirrors are heated and include blind spot warning. As before, two variants are available, starting with the entry-level Mokka Edition. This model replaces the outgoing Elegance trim and rides on 17-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels. Standard kit includes cloth upholstery, front and rear parking sensors, a frameless electrochromic rear-view mirror, a heated multifunction steering wheel, onboard navigation and wireless charging. A 10-inch digital instrument cluster and a 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system come standard, the latter powered by Qualcomm technology. Front occupants get a USB-C port with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support, while passengers in the rear benefit from two USB-A charging ports. The Mokka GS Line steps things up with larger 18-inch alloy wheels, a contrasting Diamond Black roof, lateral parking sensors, a 180° rear-view camera, leather upholstery and heated/massaging leather front seats. Additional driver assistance systems include speed sign recognition, adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go, active lane keeping, lane departure warning, forward collision mitigation and a driver attention alert function. Both models are powered by a 1.2l three-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine producing 96kW and 230Nm, delivered to the front wheels via an eight-speed automatic gearbox. Opel Mokka 1.2T Edition — R519,900 — R564,900 All models include a five-year/100,000km warranty and a three-year/60,000km service plan.

Opel Mokka receives a nip and tuck for 2025: here's what you get for your money
The Opel Mokka, often seen as a 'boutique' crossover with plenty of European flair, has been given a nip and tuck for 2025. Newly launched in South Africa, the updated model is still available in two flavours, with the Edition model replacing the previous Elegance trim grade and the GS Line once again serving as the flagship. Expect to pay R519,900 for the 1.2T Edition and R564,900 for the 1.2T GS Line. It joins the recently launched new-generation Opel Grandland - read our driving impressions here.

The slightly more powerful mild hybrid version, introduced overseas recently, does not appear to have been earmarked for the local market. What sets the new model apart? It's a subtle facelift, given that the second-generation Mokka was already quite striking in its own right. But for what it's worth, the model receives updated LED headlights, with a new magnifying glass that emulates the illumination of Matrix Intelli-Lux lights.

Opel is a German car manufacturer known for producing a wide range of vehicles, from compact cars to SUVs and light commercial vans.

The brand's cars are competitively priced and regarded as dependable. Currently, the brand is focused on transitioning to an all-electric vehicle lineup. Opel cars are primarily sold in Europe, with some models rebranded and sold globally under other names. In the past, some of its models were rebadged and sold in the U.S. under different General Motors brands, including Buick's Opel Insignia, Saturn's Opel Insignia and different other models sold as Chevrolet. Can I buy an Opel in New Jersey? Save for the globally rebranded lines, you cannot buy newer versions of Opel cars in New Jersey, nor anywhere nearby.
