Opel/Vauxhall Mokka
1.5 diesel FWD manual
Green NCAP tested the 2022 model of the Opel Mokka 1.5 diesel, with manual transmission. This is a SUV targeting buyers looking for everyday comfort and functionality but who prefer a compact car. The 1.5 litre diesel engine seems a very good choice and convinces not only with reasonable fuel consumption values but also by scoring well for Clean Air by minimising the output of pollutants. The performance of the state-of-the-art exhaust aftertreatment system remained robust and effective under most test conditions but additional improvements are possible, especially regarding NOx emissions in short trips with cold engine start, and in congestion. Particle emissions control is generally good and can even lower the output to levels close to Green NCAP's lower threshold under some test conditions. The Mokka takes advantage of a well-tailored diesel powertrain and delivers low consumption values, with 4.5 l/100 km realistic under 'normal' driving conditions. The emitted greenhouse gases are as expected for a vehicle of this type and limit the overall result, positioning the Opel Mokka 1.5 diesel in the fair range of 3 Green stars with a Weighted Overall Index of 5.7.
