New entry-level diesel and lower price for Opel Mokka

The Opel Mokka SUV has a new entry-level diesel option: the 1.6-liter CDTI with 81 kW/110 hp, with prices starting at €24,185—€500 less than so far.

The 100 kW/136 hp 1.6 CDTI engine made its debut in the successful SUV (some 400,000 already sold) at the beginning of the year, with combined consumption and CO2 emissions of 4.3-4.1 l/100 km, 114-109 g/km, with six-speed manual transmission.

The new entry-level diesel offers powerful 300 N·m of torque, available already from 2,000 rpm. In combination with a six-speed manual transmission, the turbo diesel propels the Mokka from 0 to 100 km/h in 12.5 seconds. It needs 11.8 seconds for mid-range acceleration from 80 to 120 km/h in fifth gear.

At the same time, the high-tech engine also reduces consumption. The 81 kW/110 hp Mokka only needs 4.3-4.1 liters of diesel per 100 kilometers which is equivalent to CO2 emissions of 109 grams per kilometer in the combined cycle.

The Mokka can now be ordered with the personal connectivity and service assistant Opel OnStar. The system offers customers a wide array of safety and comfort services ranging from automatic crash response or roadside services to the mobile 4G/LTE Wi-Fi hotspot. The connectivity and service assistant comes as standard in the Cosmo trim level. In addition, it is available as an option for Enjoy and Black Roof Edition for €490 (RRP including VAT in Germany). OnStar subscribers will be able to use the entire service portfolio free of charge for the first twelve months.
