With 406 km of autonomy and 156 hp, this is one of the most interesting electric crossovers that will arrive in 2023

Say goodbye to the Opel Mokka-e and let’s say hello to the new Opel Mokka Electric. The German firm owned by Stellantis presents us with the first major revision of its electric crossover, an update that brings, in addition to a name change, interesting improvements in its electric propulsion system to increase efficiency, autonomy and power. With this, the Mokka Electric is postulated as one of the most interesting electrics in its category.

Following in the footsteps already seen in other Stellantis electrics, the electric Opel Mokka receives the latest revision of the group’s electric propulsion system. This means that we have a battery with more useful capacity (goes from 46 to 51 kWh)more efficient energy management than reduces consumption to 15.2 kWh (WLTP), a greater autonomy that now reaches 406 kilometers under WLTP cycle (before it was 338 km) and a more powerful electric motor now developing 156 hp and 260 Nm (previously they were 136 CV and 260 Nm).

The rest of the set has not received changes, maintaining the charging system with powers of up to 11 kW in alternating current and up to 100 kW in direct current. According to Opel, the Mokka Electric will be able to restore 80% of its battery in 30 minutes using a 100 kW fast charging point.

With these improvements, the new Opel Mokka Electric reinforces its arguments against competition that continues to grow in quantity and quality. Although this new revision will still have to be tested to see if it meets the promised data, the low declared consumption is striking, which suggests a very efficient propulsion system. We must remember that the Mokka-e already achieved quite good data, also having aids such as the ECO mode to reduce consumption as much as possible or the use of a heat pump so that the energy impact of the air conditioner is as little as possible.
