Just bought one of these. Agree with your review. Got it mainly for myself for commuting to work. It will be used for a second car/run around, as we use the Ford S max for family journeys. This is my first EV and very impressed so far. Struggling with the locking and unlocking though, I will have to try the thumb thing again in the morning. Only other major downside for me is lack of lights (especially in the back), and some ambient lights in the front would have been nice. So far thou, after having it for 24 hours, I like it 😊
The small size was chosen to keep the Weight... down... to get the longest... possible range of the electric car - that's actually what it's all about. Moreover, it has side-mounted airbags in the back seat, which is unusual in the price range.
@@OmniGarage It's something Opel's Design Chief Mark Adams has talked about repeatedly since 2018 when it first appeared on the new models, but the fact is that the line on the bonnet was introduced by Opel back in 1956, then it was further developed in the 1960s with a horizontal line in the front. ON the Mokka, the rear lights are the horizontal line, the emblem is always in the center.
In 1999, it is further developed with a vertical line through the entire rear of the car, which is then introduced on a series of concept cars and regular ones such as Speedster, Astra, Tigra, Insignia. And in recent years it has evolved even more with a vertical brake light in 2018, GT X, and in Astra and a red vertical line in the rear bumper on the concept car GT X, both of these details have since been copied by BMW and Toyota.
I am looking to get this one as my first EV car. Just wondering how many electric chargers are there in the UK, for the time when we go on road trips? How is the regenerative break on a motor way?
For those who have only driven a car with a manual transmission, there is no such problem as you are used to always putting your foot on the brake when you stop, but not many people drive manually anymore...
It's a pretty carand very different than GM Opel. I'd buy it as an ICE but am not sure if this is my EV pic. Soon, GM Ultium based EVs will be around--a few in China are great--plus Nio, BYD, and Tesla offer more space. Still, a neat car & I like Opel
Very small best for a couple with no kids, I don't even have the back seats up. I use the space for stuff. Have never had to carry another person in the rear so no bother. I knew this at the outset that it would be mainly just me driving. I am 6ft3" and 140kg the door is difficult to get into, definitely not designed for the average big guy
140kg! That's not "average big guy" that is clinically obese, bordering on morbidly obese (which begins at a BMI of 40, your BMI being 38.5) Access to most vehicle is likely to be "difficult".
Opel has better Styling and Design than Tesla on the outside and inside, that goes a long... way, as it is something you are forced to see and live with all... the time.
Opel Mokka e to złom. jak sie zepsuje tak jak mój po 3000 km to firma stellantis nie może go naprawić przez dwa miesiące .Tak bynajmniej jest w Polsce . Serwis Opel Olsztyn . nie polecam samochodów tej żenującej firmy

Brilliant review had my deposit down but now I know I'm ahead of my game love it 🎉❤😂

I think the bonnet is designed with the Opal Manta in mind, retro. Never heard the compass thing till now?
Interesting! This is what the Opal dealer told us.

Thank you for the in-depth knowledge!

Mine when coming to say a stop sign, with foot off the accelerator it still moves forward a bit, yours runs backwards,I wish it just stood still

Don’t currently have to plan in petrol stations, but that might change as we inevitably move towards EV’s
I guess there will be a move towards easier access to charging as this concept develops.

@dragoclarke9497 no one deserves this kind of comment. Let’s be kind ae?
@@dragoclarke9497why are you so d*mb? And who asked you to explain what 140kg is?
I don’t get - just delete that comment because it’s not nice at all
A Tesla would be to big for me. I need a compact car (parking, garage) with an interesting turning circle.
Tesla model 3 is cheaper in NZ as its £6000 ($12000 NZ) more in the UK.
Interesting how manufacturers price in different markets.
Range is WAY overrated! I get approx 2 miles per percent mark on the battery. (Around town)

A pedal bike is better than a Tesla .
Explain?
And someone got pay'd a lot of money to design that monstrosity....
🚙
Don’t buy, the battery Is crap
Definitely subpar some of the other options on the market, in particular the Tesla which we have some extensive experience with.
