Opel Mokka
Subcompact crossover SUV
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Opel Mokka is a subcompact crossover SUV that has been produced by German automaker Opel since 2012. Sales began with the model year of 2013, at the end of 2012.[1] The first generation was developed by GM Korea as the Buick Encore. The facelifted Opel Mokka was marketed as the Mokka X, before reverting to Mokka for the second generation. It is also sold under the Vauxhall brand in the United Kingdom. The Chevrolet Trax that is sold in North America, Australia and South America was also derived from the Buick Encore but the lines diverged after Opel became part of Stellantis.

The Mokka was positioned below the Antara and the Zafira Tourer in the Opel line-up, and was available in both front wheel and four wheel drive versions. The Mokka name derives from the small, round coffee beans of the Coffea Arabica variety. The Mokka A is based on GM's Gamma II platform.
The four wheel drive option was an intelligent AWD system that maintains 100% drive at the front wheels until the system detects slip, fast starts or tight cornering, in which case it can send up to 50% of torque to the rear wheels.[6]
Production and sales started in autumn of 2012. By February 2013, Opel had over 80,000 Mokka orders, and after two months 100,000 orders. By October 2014, over 300,000 Mokkas were ordered in Europe. In January 2016, Opel announced 500,000 firm orders for Mokka overall.[7]
In 2019, Opel ceased production of the first generation Mokka as part of Opel/Vauxhall's full switch to Groupe PSA car platforms. However, it remained in production by GM Korea as the Buick Encore for North America until the Encore was discontinued in 2022.
The Chevrolet/Holden Trax is derived from the Mokka (and Encore), only with unique sheet metal and trim.[5]

Facelift
In April 2016, Opel and Vauxhall unveiled an updated version of the Mokka for the model year of 2017, designated as the Mokka X, which went on sale in the end of 2016. The new Mokka X received a facelift with new headlights, restyled bumpers, new LED tail lights, and a revised interior with an all new dashboard, instrument cluster, and centre stack. The more powerful optional 152 PS (112 kW; 150 hp) petrol engine was also introduced with the Mokka X.[8][9]

Mokka by Bitter
Bitter has been producing a luxury version of the Mokka since 2016. Facelifted in the end of 2016 along with the Vauxhall and Opel models, the name was also changed to Mokka X.[10] The differences between the Bitter and Opel versions are mainly cosmetic.[11]
Engines
As introduced in 2012, the Mokka was offered with a choice of three engines: a 115 PS (85 kW; 113 bhp) 1.6-litre petrol, a 140 PS (103 kW; 138 bhp) 1.4-litre turbo petrol, and a 130 PS (96 kW; 128 hp) 1.7-litre diesel.[12][13]
Other petrol and diesel engines were offered later, including a 152 PS (112 kW; 150 bhp) 1.4-litre direct injection turbo petrol engine with a controversial[clarification needed] start/stop feature introduced for model year 2016.
Most engines are paired standard with the 5-speed (1.6-litre MPI petrol engine only) or 6-speed manual transmission, with stop/start engine technology beginning as early as model year 2014. A six speed automatic transmission having active select mode is optionally available for select petrol and diesel engines including the 1.4-litre MPI Turbo petrol and 1.7-litre CDTI diesel engines for both FWD and AWD models.
Start/Stop technology on vehicles with automatic transmissions first appeared with the introduction of the new, more powerful (112 kW; 150 hp), B14XFT 1.4-litre direct injection (DI) VVT Turbo petrol engine for model year 2016 and was incorporated on other select petrol and diesel engines paired with automatic transmissions by model year 2018.
For the Russian market a version with the 1.8-litre A18XER (Korean designation F18DA) petrol engine is available. The cars for the Russian market were assembled by Avtotor (Kaliningrad, Russia) and later by Unison (Minsk, Belarus) from 2015.[14] In October 2014, for the model year of 2015, Opel introduced its all new "whisper diesel" 1.6-litre CDTI engine which replaced the 1.7-litre CDTI diesel. The engine specifications in the following tables is from the 2013, 2015, and 2018 Opel owner manual.[15][16][17]
