For those considering to drive an EV, the Opel Mokka-e should be a strong contender - Even more so if you're looking for a stylish and affordable one.
At this price range, the Mokka-e is facing tough competition from the BYD E6, the MG-ZS EV and the Peugeot e2008. And despite all the similarities (e.G. Driving range, speed, price), one thing's distinctively different for the Mokka-e, it's style. It's a small 'SUV' that stands tall and striking.
However, the design is not without its drawbacks. With reviews citing concerns over its practicality in the back and boot, I still find it acceptable, especially if you're not expecting anyone to be at the back often.
Power and driving comfort wise, it's more than enough. With sport mode, you'll reach the speed limit before you know it, and zipping around town has never been more enjoyable - Especially with how silent an EV is.
Opel's a relatively new brand in SG, but it's certainly one that is a fan-favourite in its domestic market (it's brand is still Vauxhall in many parts of Europe). Still, it is still an intercontinental car comes that with its premium feel and perks - carbon fibre style, a responsive infotainment system, and a full suite of safety features you'd expect.
Overall, the Opel Mokka-e scores a 5/5 stars in my heart at this price point for an EV.
For this price, it's still an entry-level EV, and definitely leaves some to be desired, especially in terms of its fittings at the back (i.E. No aircon vents in the back), and quality of life improvements (i.E. A more 'useful mobile app', wireless apple carplay/android auto functions) or wireless charging ports. However, it has more than what you'd expect for an EV at this price.
The Opel Mokka-e hits hard with its sculpted exterior, a split away from the soft and rounded design that most electric cars seem to favour. But does the strong new look pair with an equally capable drive?
