Opel Mokka ecoFLEX Edition – Frontansicht, 25. August 2013, Düsseldorf.jpg

The Opel Mokka is a crossover SUV engineered and built by German automotive marque Opel since 2012. Sales began with the model year of 2013, in the end of 2012. The Mokka is now built in Bupyeong, South Korea and Zaragoza, Spain. In 2016, the Opel Mokka was renamed to the Mokka X. It is also sold under the Vauxhall brand in the United Kingdom, and as the Buick Encore in North America and in China.

A variant of the Mokka/Encore vehicle having significantly different sheet metal and trim is marketed in North America as the Chevrolet Trax.

The Mokka is positioned below the Antara and the Zafira Tourer in the Opel lineup, and is 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 is based on GM's Gamma II platform. As introduced for model year 2013, 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.


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 start/stop feature introduced for model year 2016.

The four wheel drive option is 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.

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.

Most engines are paired standard with the five speed (1.6 litre MPI petrol engine only) or six speed manual transmission, with Stop/Start 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.

In the market in Russia, a version with a 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) in 2015. 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's Manuals.

Engine code prefix B indicates Start/Stop technology. B14NET is also available for LPG.

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 sports a facelift with sleeker headlights, restyled bumpers, new LED tail lights, and a revised interior with an all new dash, instrument cluster, and center stack. The more powerful optional 150 hp petrol engine was also introduced with the Mokka X.

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. The differences between the Bitter and Opel versions are mainly cosmetic.
