2016 Opel Mokka X Priced in Germany from €18,990

In production since 2012, the Opel Mokka now bears the name of Mokka X. When all is said and done, the mid-cycle update of the mini sport utility vehicle is miles prettier than the pre-facelift.

On sale in its domestic market from €18,990, the German brother of the 2017 Chevrolet Trax and 2017 Buick Encore comes loaded with standard equipment. The Edition grade is a better bet, though. At €21,690 (including the value added tax), the Opel Mokka X Edition offers leather on the steering wheel, air con, 17-inch alloys, Radio R 4.0 IntelliLink infotainment, and the OnStar service assistant.

The options list contains a number of hard-to-resist features. First, there’s the AGR-certified certified ergonomic driver’s seat (€390). If the front passenger also wants to sit as comfortably as possible, add €295. If you want both AGR-certified ergonomic seats and so-called premium leather in a rich cognac color, that’ll be €1,620. At the end of the day, the options list can ramp up the suggested retail price of the 2016 Opel Mokka X to a mind-boggling extent.

The Adaptive Forward Lighting AFL+ with LED headlamp pack is, for all intents and purposes, a must have. Not only does it makes the Mokka X look great, but the €1,250 package ensures the best possible light performance. It definitely is on the pricey side, though.

On the powertrain front, customers can opt for a 1.6-liter diesel with 110 or 136 metric horsepower. A 1.4-liter turbocharged four-banger with direct injection sits at the range-topping choice, an engine that churns out 152 metric horsepower. The latter powerplant is mated to a six-speed automatic transmission and adaptive all-wheel-drive.

At €26,690, the 2016 Opel Mokka X 1.4 Direct Injection Turbo is not a cheap ride, but it’s a cheerful one nonetheless. Those in the market for a larger sport utility vehicle will have to wait for Opel to launch the successor of the Antara.
