The Opel Mokka has been one of the most popular subcompact crossovers since its launch in Europe over four years ago. Now, there's a new model, or rather a facelift, which has entered production at the same factory in Zaragoza, Spain.
Here's a photo of the first Mokka X that rolled off the assembly line, finished in the same golden color we saw during its debut. Every employee at the factory participated in the group shot, and they were joined by Opel CEO Dr. Karl-Thomas Neumann, who was the one to drive #1 it off the line.
He had a lot of kind words to say about people working at the factory and how the adaptation of the line went. However, unless you actually work there, you probably won't care. What might interest you is the fact that Opel has sold over 600,000 units of the Mokka in Europe.
Even they must be surprised by how high demand is. After all, the Mokka was originally produced and developed in South Korea, but they have subsequently moved it to Spain for a more fluid supply network.
The Mokka X is a major mid-life facelift that was introduced in March at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show, which is where most of the photos in the adjacent gallery come from.
So why is it called Mokka X? Well, Opel says that the letter will be added to every crossover or SUV model in the future to differentiate them from regular hatchbacks and sedans. Besides that, the car has a completely different identity to the old Mokka.
Starting from the front, we notice that full-LED headlights have been installed, along with a new grille and a bumper that's designed to look upmarket rather than rugged. New colors and wheel choices also contribute to the novelty factor.
Inside, they used more soft-touch materials and improved the ergonomics of the dash. The new 8-inch IntelliLink system comes fully loaded with Apple CarPlay and a Wi-Fi hotspot for your mobile devices. If you want it, the Mokka X is already on sale from €18,990 in Germany.
