Opel Brings the Heat — and the Volt
The 2026 Opel Mokka GSE doesn’t whisper into the EV segment — it kicks the door open with 280 horsepower and rally-tuned guts. In a world of electric crossovers designed to lull you into eco-compliance, this Mokka hits 0–100 km/h in 5.9 seconds, flashes a top speed of 200 km/h, and basically dares you to call it tame. Opel didn’t just build another commuter EV — they built one that charges like it’s late for a race.
Battery-Electric Specs With Actual Bite
Opel wasn’t in the mood for half measures. The Mokka GSE taps a 207 kW (280 hp) electric motor, fed by a 54 kWh lithium-ion battery. It's front-wheel drive — and no, that’s not a problem — thanks to a Torsen multi-plate limited-slip differential that puts the power where it can actually help. No AWD excuses here.
- Torque: 345 Nm (254 lb-ft)
- Top speed: 200 km/h (124 mph)
- Battery: 54 kWh lithium-ion
- 0–100 km/h: 5.9 seconds
- Curb weight: Under 1.6 tons (≈ 3,527 lbs)
Drive Modes
- Sport – For that “I’m going to be late but fast” vibe. Full power. Full speed.
- Normal – Commuting with restraint. Tops out at 180 km/h.
- Eco – The grown-up mode. Sips electrons, stretches miles.
Each mode adjusts steering, throttle response, and energy use — because efficiency shouldn’t be boring, and performance shouldn’t be wasteful.
Suspension That Knows the Rally Stage Isn’t Just for Show
What makes the Mokka GSE stand out? The suspension wasn’t pulled from a parts bin — it was inspired by the Mokka GSE Rally prototype. Yes, the one that actually races. That means a road-ready setup engineered by people who know how to make an EV dance through corners.
Performance Hardware Includes
- Double hydraulic shock absorbers
- Custom-designed axles
- Beefed-up brakes
- Sharpened steering for real feedback
The steering wheel, flat on the top and bottom, doesn’t just look cool — it gives more knee room during aggressive driving. Meanwhile, aluminum pedals respond with immediacy. Opel’s rally team didn’t just provide the blueprints — they brought the attitude.
Exterior Design: Zero Apologies, All Intent
Forget wind tunnel cosplay. The Mokka GSE has 20-inch lightweight GSE alloy wheels, wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport EV 225/40 R20 tires — sticky enough to make torque useful, not scary. Yellow GSE brake calipers peek through the rims, just in case you forget it’s meant to stop as confidently as it goes.
Outside Details That Matter
- Rally-inspired front and rear styling
- GSE-specific trim inserts
- Exclusive wheels and tires
- Yellow-and-black GSE badging
This isn’t just a Mokka with extra badges — it’s a ground-up effort with rally in its DNA. The aerodynamics? Not for show. They help keep this boxy crossover composed when it’s flying past slower traffic.
Interior: Built for Drivers, Not Screen-Tappers
The cabin skips gimmicks and goes straight to business. Alcantara sports seats with yellow contrast stitching hug you tight. You sit low and locked in — which, yes, you’ll appreciate when pushing it through an off-ramp faster than is strictly necessary.
Interior Highlights
- Grey/black/yellow Alcantara seating
- Aluminum pedals
- Flat-bottom steering wheel
- 10-inch digital cluster with GSE performance UI
- Touchscreen with G-force and battery data
Opel’s displays aren’t there to impress passengers — they’re there for you. Torque readings, battery performance, G-forces, and acceleration data are all front and center. For once, the digital dashboard feels like part of the driving experience, not a tablet bolted to a steering wheel.
Battery Strategy: Lightweight Over Range-Obsession
The 54 kWh battery won’t win long-distance bragging rights. That’s fine. The Mokka GSE isn’t trying to cruise from Frankfurt to Rome on one charge — it’s built for daily fun with real range practicality.
- Battery capacity: 54 kWh
- Weight: Under 1,600 kg
- Efficiency: TBA post-homologation
- Charging: Expected CCS standard; final specs coming soon
