While waiting for their new brothers and Grandland Crossland X X, the Opel Mokka X is renewed deeply. ¿Endure, this type SUV against all its rivals? We began testing.

Currently, the Opel Mokka X is the only model sold by brand German that can called SUV, since the Country Tourer variant Insignia can not be considered as such despite having all-wheel drive and more headroom than the standard sedan. And just start testing the new version of X Mokka His name X is now common to all future SUV of Opel-, powered by the known engine 1,6 liters of Diesel engine in its variant 136 hp, his only Diesel only available for Spain.

As I have said on other occasions, this 1.6 CDTI engine of Opel Mokka X It’s about a propellant own manufacturing noted for its reduced consumption and the ease to move to middle and high range, but where pushability low-end remains its pending. This results only in the need to reduce a march when overtaking, since in urban use it is not so obvious this deficiency.

The gearbox of this Opel Mokka 1.6 CDTI X is 136 hp 6-speed manual, with precise handling and short runs of changes. This version has all-wheel drive by coupling drives the rear axle, which ensures less mechanical complexity and a very reduced hindlimb under normal conditions of good grip “drag”. This type of drive is suitable as helps to advance on slippery surfaces occasionally and to improve behavior in these situations, but it is clear that there is a system that can support intensive off road regularly.

As for the behavior, You can define the new Opel Mokka X as noble and easy to predict, especially our test unit that was very tied up with generous 225/45 R19 tires measure, ensuring a high dose of lateral and path accuracy grip but which generates greater NVH within desirable. It is not a vehicle that can boast regarding filtering capability, but this Mokka X, without reaching the level of premium rivals Q2 Audi or BMW X1, it’s found above most general models in its class.
