Η Opel ανακοίνωσε έχει πουλήσει 300.000 Mokka, με τα τελευταία 100.000 να πωλούνται μέσα σε διάστημα 7 μηνών, με την Opel να δηλώνει πως το μικρό crossover της είναι το τρίτο μοντέλο της με τις μεγαλύτερες πωλήσεις, πίσω από τα Corsa και Astra. Η παραγωγή του Mokka ξεκίνησε το 2012 στο εργοστάσιο της GM στο Κορέα, ενώ τον περασμένο Σεπτέμβριο, ξεκίνησε να κατασκευάζεται και στο εργοστάσιό της Opel στη Σαραγόσα της Ισπανίας, στη προσπάθεια της Opel να προλάβει την αυξημένη ζήτηση του μοντέλου.
Από τις αρχές του 2015, το Opel Mokka θα διατίθεται με τον νέο 1.6-λίτρων CDTI turbodiesel κινητήρα απόδοσης 136 ίππων. Ο 1.600αρης κινητήρας αντικαθιστά τον πετρελαιοκινητήρα 1.7-λίτρων, αποδίδοντας περισσότερη ισχύ και ροπή από τον προκάτοχό του -μέχρι και 6 άλογα και 20 Nm, έχοντας σημαντικά χαμηλότερη κατανάλωση καυσίμου, η οποία ανέρχεται στα 4,1 λίτρα/100 χλμ (-0,5 λίτρο σε σχέση με τον 1.700 κ.εκ κινητήρα) με 109 γρ/χλμ εκπομπές CO2 (-11 γρ). Με τον κινητήρα αυτό, το Mokka κάνει τα 0-100 χλμ/ώρα σε 9,9 δευτερόλεπτα, έχοντας τελική ταχύτητα 191 χλμ/ώρα. Συνδυάζεται με το νέο εξατάχυτο μηχανικό κιβώτιο και με σύστημα Start/Stop και συμμορφώνεται με τις προδιαγραφές εκπομπών ρύπων Euro 6.

Things Continue to Look up: 300,000 Orders for the Opel Mokka
- Bestseller: SUV is becoming a real customer favorite
- Segment leader: most sold car in its segment in Europe in August
- Squeaky clean: available with new, frugal 1.6-liter turbo diesel from early 2015
Rüsselsheim. “Things are really looking up for Opel,” said Borussia Dortmund coach Jürgen Klopp when he drove the Mokka for the first time. Obviously, that is not just true for the company but also for the Mokka. In the two years since being brought to market, the sub-compact SUV has been ordered 300,000 times. Mokka sales even stepped up a gear in recent times. The latest 100,000 orders were recorded in the last seven months. In August, the Opel bestseller even managed to outsell any other car in its segment in Europe. The Mokka is the third most sold car in the Opel rankings behind Corsa and Astra but ahead of Insignia and Zafira.
Currently, the sub-compact SUV segment is the fastest growing in the automobile industry. Compared to last year, registration figures in Europe have almost doubled. The Mokka has become a bestseller without regard to national borders. The two-time All-wheel Drive Car of the Year winner leads its segment in Germany with almost 24 percent, in Austria with around 22 percent and in Finland with 27 percent. Throughout Europe, the Mokka achieved a segment share of 15 percent from January to August 2014 and ranks third.
“The Mokka interprets our definition of an exciting model with ultra-modern technology at affordable prices perfectly,” said Peter Christian Küspert, Vice President Sales & Aftersales Opel Group. “We are delighted with our bestseller amongst the compact SUVs. It is a guarantee for success and an important part of our model offensive. Next, it will be available with the 1.6 CDTI whisper diesel. That will definitely give the Mokka even more momentum.”
Refinement par excellence: the new 1.6 CDTI
The Mokka does not just impress with its stylish appearance, modern all-wheel drive and generous spaciousness – from early 2015, it will also be available with the 100 kW/136 hp 1.6 CDTI turbo diesel. Already dubbed the ‘whisper diesel’, the extremely compact four-cylinder unit will replace the current 1.7-liter diesel in the Mokka line-up. It gives more power and torque – up six hp and 20 Nm, respectively – from a smaller displacement, as well as significantly lower fuel consumption. The lively 1.6 CDTI is part of a new family of Opel all-aluminum diesel engines. 320 Nm of torque, from 0 to 100 km/h in 9.9 seconds and a top speed of 191 km/h are figures that highlight driving fun. The whisper diesel is also extremely economical and kinder to the environment: with the standard Start/Stop system, the 1.6 CDTI Mokka consumes just 4.1 l/100 km over the combined cycle while emitting only 109 g/km CO2. This is almost 0.5 l/100 km less fuel and 11 g/km less CO2 than the predecessor 1.7-liter version. This new diesel engine complies with the stringent Euro 6 emissions standard.
