Opel Mokka X with a new basic essence in the test

How does the small SUV with the 120 hp turbo?

Saugbenziner is on the way down. Thank God. What may be unfortunate in sports cars (because of the lower turbo noise) is a cause for celebration in the middle clbad cars. Because gasoline turbo engines usually offer a lot more momentum and therefore more driving pleasure. Now he has also caught the Opel Mokka X. In the small SUV replaced a new 120 horsepower variant of the 1.4 Turbo, the old 1.6-liter vacuum with 115 hp. We tested the new version

Always the old GM engines

Anyone who knows PSA engines might be surprised that the Mokka X uses engines completely different from those of the new Crossland X and Grandland X SUVs. Here they are still very strong the old Opel or better said machines General Motors used, for example, the 1.4 Turbo instead of the 1.2 Direct Turbo Injection (aka 1.2 Puretech, as the engine is called by the French) Why Opel does not build one of the often rented PSA three cylinders in the mocha , if you are already replacing an engine? Maybe because PSA is not enough of it. This could change if the engine is also built in the Opel factory in Tichy, Poland from 2019. L & rsquo; Year would be fine, because for 2019, a new generation of Mokka X is expected, which will be al ors, based on the EMP2 platform. "data-reactid =" 34 ">

However, it should be based on the French platform EMP2

What is the good of the engine? [19659005] But the gray is the whole theory, and the green is the arbr e gold of life. In my case, life is neither green nor in the form of tree, but like a bright red test car. Already on the first few meters I have noticed the pleasant forward thrust of the 120 hp turbo. As soon as I turn on the highway and I increase the pace, it continues a bit strong. My impression: For the city, the engine is great, but which is often on the road and maybe even a little more demanding, should rather see the version of 140 horses of the same unit. The two meet thanks to a particulate filter gasoline already the standard emission net Euro 6d temperature

chbadis and comparison to Crossland

What is also noticeable after only a few kilometers: The Mokka X is slightly modified, which should not be entirely innocent because of the 1.4 tons It is not easy to disturb your car because of the high weight on the road, it is not obvious that there is a tendency to roll or pitch worrying, and the excellent lateral support of the "ergonomic active seats with EGR seal" is very nice.

What is also noticeable after only a few kilometers: the Mokka X skips something. The short length should not be entirely innocent. But the 1.4 ton car is well fueled on the road because of the heavy weight, so it's not easy to get angry. An annoying roll or tilt is not noticeable. Very nice is also the excellent side support of the surcharge "ergonomic active seats with AGR seal".

As for modern technology, the Mokka X is no longer top. It becomes clear when I drive to compare a Crossland X with a 110 hp turbo gasoline engine. There, as a greeting, a small head-up display comes out of the dashboard, showing me the currently valid speed limit. The Mocha also has a traffic sign recognition, but it does not work on my test loop for impenetrable reasons.

The suspension is much more sensitive to Crossland than Moka fluctuations, the Crossland leans much more in braking and acceleration. As for the engine, Crossland's three-cylinder engine has more torque despite its smaller displacement, 205 instead of 175 Newton. Together with the curb weight of about 150 pounds lower that provides more temperament than the mocha.

Seating System and Trunk

There are also significant differences between Mocha and Crossland in the seating system, although I sit well in both cars and have enough leg room. , I first have to fold down the upholstery of the seat so that the backrest is level when folding the Crossland, the folding is done at once and the rear seat (optional) can be moved in the direction of the length In the case of Crossland six inches shorter, it is between 410 and 1.255 liters, although the maximum usable volume of the mocha is larger: I like the seat system more versatile and more practical Crossland. data-reactid = "42">
There are also significant differences between Mocha and Crossland in the system. Although I am sitting back at the back two cars and I have enough room for the legs. But if I want to extend the trunk, I have the Mokka first fold the seat trim in the vertical, so that the backrest by folding is horizontal. When Crossland folds with a handle. In addition, here the rear seat (optional) can be moved longitudinally. The storage space itself contains from 356 to 1372 liters for the Mocha, and for the six centimeters shorter Crossland, it is between 410 and 1 255 liters. Even though the maximum usable volume of mocha is greater: I like better the more variable and practical seating system of Crossland.

Equipment and Prices

My test car has the Design Line equipment, which is not even in the price list, where the new 120 ch -Turbo exclusively as "Selection" contained, it's the only # 39; basic equipment of the Mokka.C is already enough a lot: On board are in addition to radio, air conditioning, electric and heated mirrors, front electric windows and central locking even a cruise control, a sensor light and fog lamps ". data-reactid = "44">
My test car has the characteristics of the design line that are not yet listed in the price list. There, the new 120 hp turbo is included exclusively as "Selection", that is the basic equipment of mocha. This should already be enough for many: on board add radio, air conditioning, heated mirrors and electrically adjustable, power windows and central locking even before a cruise control, a light sensor and fog lights

Mocha X is possible. These include adaptive LED headlights, 18-inch alloy wheels, a keyless entry and start system, a warning system of head-on collision, a lane warning system and an integrated navigation system. Incidentally, it worked much better on my short tour than Crossland's Google Maps solution, which did not make any noise and forced me to swipe the map with my finger to see where I was.

A Crossland X with Turbo comes more expensive

<p clbad = "canvas-atom canvas-text Mb (1.0em) Mb (0) – sm Mt (0.8em) – sm" type = "text" content = "
The base price of the Mokka X 1.4 Turbo with 120 hp in the selection equipment is 20 350. The Crossland X 1.2 Direct 110 hp comparable Turbo Injection is not available as a selection in the cheapest version Edition (in addition with rear electric windows, Alurädern and 7.0 inch touch screen), but then you already pay 21,070 euros.So, the Crossland separates for me as a good alternative market.The basic version costs here only 18 280 euros (instead of 20 350 euros in mocha), but only has an 81-hp vacuum cleaner under the hood.

The Opel Mokka X is properly motorized with the new 120hp base engine.This means: For a city car, the momentum is quite light, which often leads to the ground, wants more power, but over longer distances It should soon be a bigger and more comfortable car because of the double suspension. With regard to the seat system and the trunk, we like the Crossland X better, which would also be worth a secondary place because of the price of the car. entry much lower, because Opel's model policy makes the Crossland X with gasoline turbo engine more expensive as a comparable motorisi erter Mocha X with And to return to the Saugbenziner, we would not want to go there … "data-reactid =" 53 ">
