Overview
The 2021 Opel Mokka-e, in its 50 kWh trim, was a fresh-faced all-electric compact SUV primarily aimed at the European market. This funky little crossover burst onto the scene with Opel's distinctive "Vizor" front-end, offering a stylish and eco-conscious urban runabout. Key highlights include its peppy electric powertrain and a tech-forward cabin. As a model not officially sold in the US, and with this specific configuration discontinued after 2021, direct US pricing isn't available. It represented a bold new design direction for Opel, slotting into a competitive small EV segment with a bit of German flair.
What's New for 2021?
For 2021, the Mokka-e itself was the big news! This model year marked its grand debut, showcasing a complete redesign from its predecessor and the first all-electric version of the Mokka. It rolled out on the Stellantis (then PSA) eCMP platform, shared with other compact EVs. This meant a ground-up EV approach, bringing Opel's new "Vizor" design language and "Pure Panel" digital cockpit to the forefront. It was a significant step for Opel, offering a genuinely modern and competitive small electric SUV to eager European buyers looking for something fresh.
Design & Exterior
The 2021 Mokka-e 50 kWh really turned heads with its radical "Vizor" front end, a sleek, single panel integrating the grille and headlights – proper cool stuff! It’s a compact SUV, measuring 163.4 inches long, 70.5 inches wide (no mirrors), and 60.4 inches high, giving it a dinky but robust stance. Sharp creases and optional two-tone roof color schemes added to its youthful, urban warrior vibe. This specific trim generally featured stylish alloy wheels, completing a look that’s both futuristic and undeniably Opel, making it stand out in the supermarket car park.
Interior, Tech & Cargo
Inside, the Mokka-e 50 kWh rocks Opel’s "Pure Panel" digital cockpit – a slick setup with conjoined screens for instruments and infotainment, typically featuring Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Material quality is decent for its class, aiming for a modern, minimalist vibe. Passenger space is good up front, though rear legroom is more suited for kids or shorter trips, as expected in a compact. Cargo-wise, you get 10.9 cubic feet in the trunk, expanding to a useful 37.4 cubic feet with the rear seats folded. No frunk here, though – sorry, folks!
Performance & Driving Experience
The Mokka-e 50 kWh is a sprightly performer, zipping from 0-60 mph in a respectable 8.6 seconds thanks to its front-wheel-drive setup. Its single Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) kicks out 100 kW (around 134 hp) and a handy 192 lb-ft of instant torque, making it feel nippy around town. Driving dynamics are geared towards comfort and easy urban cruising, with a smooth ride. It's not a hot hatch, but it’s agile enough for daily duties. Regenerative braking is on board, helping to claw back some energy, likely with a more aggressive 'B' mode.
Range, Battery & Charging
Rocking a 46.3 kWh usable battery, the Mokka-e 50 kWh offers a Green Cars Compare estimated real-world range of 175 miles – decent for city hops and some A-road cruising, with an efficiency of 3.78 mi/kWh. For charging, its 400V system supports a standard 7.4 kW AC top-up, meaning a full charge takes around 7-8 hours overnight. When you’re out and about, it can guzzle electrons at up to 100 kW from a DC fast charger, getting you from near empty to 80% in about 30 minutes. In Europe, it uses a CCS Type 2 port; a US version would have sported a CCS Type 1.
Safety & Driver-Assistance Features
While it wasn't tested by the NHTSA due to its European focus, the 2021 Opel Mokka-e did score a 4-star rating from Euro NCAP, which is pretty solid. You could expect a decent suite of driver aids, many of which were often standard. This typically included forward collision alert with automatic emergency braking, lane keeping assist, and traffic sign recognition. Features like adaptive cruise control and blind-spot monitoring were usually available, sometimes as part of optional packages, helping to keep you safe and sound on your electric adventures.
Warranty & Maintenance Coverage
Since the Opel Mokka-e wasn't officially sold in the US, specific American warranty details aren't applicable. However, in its home European markets, Opels typically came with a 2-year/unlimited mileage vehicle warranty and an 8-year/100,000-mile (or equivalent km) warranty for the battery, covering degradation to a certain percentage. Powertrain coverage would align with the vehicle warranty. Complimentary maintenance, if offered, varied by country and dealer. As with most EVs, maintenance is generally lower than petrol cars, focusing on tires, brakes, and cabin filters.
