Opel Mokka 1.4 Turbo 4×4 Reviews and Photos Gallery - Opel previous attempts to contribute its share to the SUV segment has always been a bit of a puppet performances directed by GM. What do you think management in Rüsselsheim, remained behind the walls of car, but the fact is that until now, no own car Opel kind never stand and offered only planted on foreign cars bearing their logo. Maybe popular Isuzu Frontera was produced in the British Isles and the same origin was also Monterey, with the difference that was imported to Europe from Japan. German lineage can today boast or indirect successor to both machines, Antara model . Its foundations comes from the South Korean branch Chevrolet.

New Opel Mokka 1.4 Turbo 4×4 is the fourth in a party and go to the fast-growing sub-compact crossover class, represented by cars like the Nissan Juke and where to arrive soon and many others as necessary 500X Fiat , Renault Captur or Peugeot 2008. Just Mocha was the first fully designed in Opel, or so it is officially presented automaker. Right to produce their new car, but the Germans did not get. Production was delegated to the South Korean factory in Bupyeong, where clones are also produced in the form of modified Chevrolet Trax and Buick Encore , the first of which is expected in Europe, the latter is then primarily for clients in the United States and China.

To avoid any accident premature conclusion Mocha her German origins at the start, of course, does not benefit, nor for her is not a handicap. In this regard, the just take a little interest, which may not be known to all.

What is perhaps less known fact is the technical base mocha. For its compact dimensions and familiar appearance is regarded as a derivative Corsa from the development branch but in reality it does not come. It is built on newer GM Gamma II platform and the new crossover is therefore much closer to the city mini Adam or Chevroletům Cobalt and Aveo than to Corse . So, if you anyone will argue to the contrary, do not believe it. Will have a common platform, Corsa, however, to include in its next generation.

In principle, the Gamma II platform floor from the previous course, fundamentally different, both have MacPherson and torsional position. Somewhat puzzling, however, that the platform has been adapted Mokku less than you might think. It was quite surprising to see the test below and find the car that the rear wheels, or a version with all-wheel drive, do not rely on multilink, but only for simple trailing arm. Before I get to their influence on handling and ride quality, we expect a few obligatory chapters, the first of which deals with the usual outward appearance.

Opel Mokka 1.4 Turbo 4×4 Elegant, with fake freckles beauty
It’s a bit of a loop interwoven thematic articles in various local authors and I can not avoid it this time either, though I’m parroting annoying. So it’s short. SUVs and Crossovers or to make me feel. Objectively. Reasons write always the same and it makes no sense to deal with the deeper, though it is equally important one – the height and weight of these cars is destroying their maneuverability, dynamism and power consumption. Adequate compensation in return offer. Easier access and a better view? Someone is subjectively will appreciate me personally, this “advantage” does not address.

On the other hand, prefer not to consider for something does not mean they do not respect the opposite opinion, and I would like to add that the prejudices I have not up to the new Opel. In the case of the retreat mocha also somewhat easier. Whether in photographs or live, German crossover still looks more like a hatchback proofing oplácaný fashionable black plastic than a typical SUV soaring first floor.

If you omit the nateklost masked and high sides and embossed plastic, probably would not have the appearance mocha serious problem. The metallic brown and tinted osmnáctipalcových wheels looks quite elegant and I would not be surprised if it has a lot of customer orders due to her appearance without examining the details. But I can not be superficial and some freckles on beauty are too strong for me, I missed it.

For me incomprehensible vice using fake inputs or outputs of air is not only typical for Opel, have some that “Fejková” diffuser and exhalation is a course almost at all, yet I can not tolerate. I am not saying that cars must be an absolute model of functional design, but maybe the plastic headlights Mocha much understand. The authors even gave the job to vmontovali plugs into some vanes, which normally helps regulate the flow of air. They regulate here, knows only about the filmmakers. The same occurs around the fog lights, extra chrome and blind are also some holes in the radiator grille. Necessary effort to understand less air resistance, but I consider that a smoother surface is smarter solution.

Or formally correct procedures aerodynamics tuning may not lead to the desired outcome, especially in cases where the designers get to light as a result of schizophrenia and knows what they propose. The Opel Mokka 1.4 Turbo 4×4 symbolize the problematic oxymoron lollipop under the front bumper. Do you see the new Opel as stylish urban SUV, you probably will not bother, but if you count the occasional rides off asphalt, also count with an unpleasant nose rubbing it in relatively shallow track forest roads.

Opel Mokka 1.4 Turbo 4×4 Interior as through carbon paper
Although at the time of continuing recession, I understand the concern regarding the need for unification of the cost savings, personally I prefer more variety than what this little SUV is at its booth. Still, I understand the interior ransacked relatively new Zafira Tourer , but the instrument panel and center console Mocha is also a mirror image of those in the Meriva , Astra cabriolet current or Cascade . It is enough to look at the whole fresh rendition of the driver’s seat in the mini and Adam come to you, they should at Opel’s designers completely hands are tied, and they lacked invention.

Onu languid monotony (though in the case of better-equipped testing mocha successfully partially impaired panels colored dashboard) maybe I could tolerate in a fully ergonomically functional environment, but the concept Opel me just does not fit. Yes, and you might guess, I will not, however, an excess of buttons concentrated in such a small space, I never lost the taste. Their resistance was poorly calibrated, to remember them by feel without averting eyes from the road, however, I can not even ride several times.

Vehicle contrary, I have nothing to criticize in terms of space for front seat passengers. Opel Mokka 1.4 Turbo 4×4 offers enough space above the heads of the driver and the extraordinary range of adjustment of the steering column, which itself is a good basis for finding a comfortable position on long journeys, regardless of the higher seat anchorages. But also belongs to those words of praise. Sufficiently are contoured backrest and seat cushions, with the option to manually extend their length. Whole Miserable is only a short and extremely subtle armrest-mounted seat. Is too low, slides, and when you personalize somehow, after a while begins to push.

While the front passengers were able to give, as expected, those behind were denied in all directions. That back comfortably fit the width of just two, was basically predictable. Also, some much larger cars that are better. But that there will be no laughing pair measuring over six feet tall, looking from the outside would hardly be guessed. Though I have tried front with nearly two meters uskromnit for myself, I just crouch and legs without the undignified position used in adult films, simply sat down. For two adolescents Opel Mokka 1.4 Turbo 4×4 back bad, but anything beyond that can be considered as an attempt to amputation of limbs.

The interior simply wishes to those in front, from the B-pillars back Opel Mokka 1.4 Turbo 4×4 is just a small car. And that includes the boot. So maybe it is for you to suitcase size of just 356 liters, but the relative need to seventh-generation Golf, which is a bit shorter and considerably lower, but still offers a larger volume of 24 liters, this objective does not meet the prerequisites Opel. Otherwise, I’d be more to life probably did not need, but the automaker can at least speculate sliding rear bench, which could absorb from the above solved and even those attracted by collecting the numbers.

Opel Mokka 1.4 Turbo 4×4 Exactly according to Euro-standards
As has become customary, this time represented by automakers could not resist the temptation and equip demo car (the reasons are obvious) everything imaginable that can be easily reached, including a heated steering wheel to be comfortable and strongest engine supplied exclusively with the six-speed manual and 4×4.

Ultimate čtrnáctistovkou Opel Mokka 1.4 Turbo 4×4 is powered by a turbocharged output of 140 hp and a torque of 200 Newton meters, which it certainly does not make the paper an outsider, its design but just not the most modern. In addition to using a cast iron block operates with less accurate indirect injection, which does not take full advantage of higher efficiency turbo under partial load.

The actual speech after starting the engine and driving the first kilometers does not at all bad. First of all, stands his quiet and relatively sophisticated operation, constantly lingering in three and a half thousand revs. With increasing demands of the driver but his character changes dramatically. Vibration is it even under the higher loads alien, but the sound is going through four thousand revolutions continuously tilted well suppressed murmur in troubled tone and resonance, accompanied by rumbling and at that moment, his solid acoustic nature apart. Not to say that the intensity of the noise produced was high, live with it certainly can, vyluzované frequencies, however, are poorly digested, as well as the knowledge that this is the tip of the motor supply.

Yet it seems to me that it would be more fun if it was just a problem with refinement. After all, the maximum power comes already at 4900 rev. / Min. (Up to six thousand remains constant), so the reason to play the F1 pilot suddenly eliminated. Questionable is also a power supply. I do not unnecessarily dramatic našlehávat article pathetic speeches, but čtrnáctistovka is within two thousand revolutions live about as exhibits in the Museum of Egyptian sarcophagi. And it’s not just about the typical behavior of turbine engine.

First Opel Mokka 1.4 Turbo 4×4 with a driver weighs over sixteen hundred pounds, which is already pretty decent portion of mischief and lineárnějším course unit with power and without the euro-calibration gas. The second, and in my palčivějším problem is the transmission again. Already identically motorized Astra we observed something like a combination of union power unit from the mower with gearbox Chevrolet Corvette and it unfortunately also applies to the new crossover. The top six at the speed of 90 km / h, while not turning 1800 rev. / Min as the Astra, but even more speed by 200 of misery when you need to accelerate if not, when you’re trying to turn this in addition more mass. So nicely subsumed by two or three degrees, cover your ears and then Mokka gets underway, and indeed fairly.

Theoretically, of course, operates a small turbocharged engine with long transfers peak. When testing the Opel measured average consumption of just 6.4 liters per 100 km / h, the practice is not for the table numbers merciless. When you try to našlapování gas as after a minefield can get to 6 liters in normal operation you would for a similar ride but soon someone same enthusiasm perhaps displace the road. Realistic is eight to ten liters, if overcome compulsive need to constantly correct the lack of enthusiasm four-cylinder engine and let the car drift on the wave forces at medium speed. Naturel powerful mocha you to something as nepřístojnému like sports nevybídne ride, or rather similar reliably suppress appetite, but in the extreme four-cylinder is not enough for every one hundred kilometers or twenty liters.

Opel Mokka 1.4 Turbo 4×4 Hesitant dancer
Even though I appearance in the evaluation mocha little quipped alluding to its terrain impotence, actually I was clear in advance that the mud and hills too fit. Opel also had the good sense to make an impossible vow and offroad in his administration with new associate. Instead, he writes about the “precise control, excellent management and persuasive chassis”, which are precisely the attributes of the customer (his nature) tolerated, preferred or sought after. Rhetoric automaker is therefore sympathetic, except that true only to a minor extent.

Management, albeit slightly přeposilované and without emotion, but more or less accurate for nezaostávající sensed, it is okay. A little common sense is in place, expect a crossover from mainstream brands more would be foolish. Taken literally, however, overshot automaker certainly, certainly not great and I see no reason to accept that “it after all we all say.”

Describe the chassis and its behavior is somewhat difficult, but simply for our road is not built. The mirror-flat surface (and therefore almost never) accept just a little more tilt in curves and enough mechanical grip with stabilizing targeted by braking able to redirect power to the outside rear wheel does not sport, but solidly safe, neutral and unassuming control unit. If nothing else, to suppress understeer is connectable quad fits.

Everywhere else, depending on the profile of the surface unevenness and sharpness peaks either car gets annoying bumps the wheels and suspension or that and to continuously vibrates and bounces. I’d be willing to believe that they just met again unhappily too big of optional wheels with shock calibrated with “balónovitějšími” tires, but eighteen nazouvají rubber with not just a small aspect ratio 55th Issue is elsewhere and Opel is well known. In Britain, where the roads qualitatively very similar to ours, send a complaint to the media mentioned behavior so far that forced the automaker to use a new silencer and throw in edit control. According to the views from the second wave tests remain exemplary ride comfort is not, however, undergone considerable improvement. As far as I know, for continental Europe, this problem is also addressed.

If Opel Mokka 1.4 Turbo 4×4 prkennost offset its higher stability and improved control of body movements, just as it should be showing the BMW X6 , I could such a bias driveability understand and tolerate part, albeit an SUV or crossover height of its center of gravity never neošidí. It would be but something for something. I also understand the opposite approach to the suspension settings. Sacrifice speed for plavnost is also fair deal. But I have a feeling that this is the fatal confrontation, when it does not work in the city but not highway speeds.

If I could choose, I would prefer greater compliance in all aspects. To ride on two wheels is well suited Opel Mokka 1.4 Turbo 4×4 and acquired softness would fit with the rest of the lightweight control, supple and well set shifting resistance in the pedals, even stiffer clutch for subtle feminine leg is not exactly ideal.

Opel Mokka 1.4 Turbo 4×4 This will help you price, but not against all
Reckon with the fact that I quite possibly of liability for his antipathy to the SUV. Actually, I’m not going to argue about it, everyone else can see. But if someone sees this kind of car to be fit for hard driving, it will be wiser to accept the fact that we have zero intersection of opinion and any discussion would be useless waste of time.

If you regard Mokku through those for suitable candidate to fill the vacant parking space, I suppose you visit the showroom and arrange a test drive neodradím. Which is okay, I kept the same. In short, someone muffins, other girls. However, the new Opel me about their qualities too convinced. Powertrain and chassis are far from perfect, space suits auto only half. And that’s enough, that this particular version pointless.

A little embarrassing prospect but a little Opel Mokka 1.4 Turbo 4×4 can improve their price list. With all-wheel drive, the most powerful engine in the middle and equipment can be yours in just a half a million to be Skoda Yeti is not an adequate answer. Domestic brand for the same amount you can offer either completely shaven version of Active 2.0 TDI 4×4 with 110 horse or předokolku 1.4 TSI with 122 hp and Ambition equipment. I’m sure that a lot of people may Opel dealers hear.

Gloss Mocha advantageous purchases but rather begins to fade, if you like a slightly smaller, but very similar spatially conceived Juke. Nissan will supply 500,000 for one with a six turbocharged version Acenta. Although only with front-wheel drive, but again, with 190 horses, and when it comes, somewhere on a dusty road with his handicap disappear anyway and elsewhere shows Opel back.

Opel Mokka 1.4 Turbo 4×4 is not right, what was in the car with flash character compete against competition and I’m afraid of the blame-ridden four-cylinder gearbox inherited from Astra is considerable. One thing, however, might help. If the Czech representation may allow for asking in Rüsselsheim to bogie kit for Britain nothing can. With him (and preferably with the engine with better gear) would Mokka did not score a ratio of performance and price, performance optics itself is still rather weak cup of coffee.

Opel Mokka 1.4 Turbo 4×4 Why does it want?
Opel Mokka 1.4 Turbo 4×4 between their cheapest is not the union of its subjectively perceived beauty and a reasonable price tag may be a combination that will allow it to find its way to customers.

Opel Mokka 1.4 Turbo 4×4 Why do not want?
Mainly due to the chassis, if repair fails Opel used in British cars. With the engine loaded with standards can probably live, long, hurry and its dual character is really frustrating, especially compared with his tabular data.
