At IAA Mobility 2025 in Munich, Opel pulled the covers off its spiciest debut in years—the all-electric Mokka GSE. The B-SUV now stands as the most powerful model in the brand’s lineup, signaling a sharper sporting intent.

According to SPEEDME.RU, the Mokka GSE sits on a Stellantis platform and uses an e-motor rated at 280 hp and 345 Nm of torque. That output nudges the compact crossover into hot-hatch territory and puts it up against the keenest drivers’ choices in the segment. Propulsion comes from a Peugeot Sport power unit already seen in the Ypsilon HF and 208 GTI.

Although the battery remains the familiar 52 kWh and range will not exceed 400 kilometers, the emphasis is plainly on driver enjoyment. With a sport-tuned chassis, a lower ride height, and a limited-slip differential, the Mokka GSE promises the kind of engagement this class has been missing.

The look matches the brief: a two-tone body, a more assertive front bumper, sizable wheels, and racy trim pieces give the crossover a bold stance. Inside, an updated Opel Pure Panel digital cockpit reinforces the performance theme.

Opel representatives described the Mokka GSE as a car for those who want everyday usability with a dash of excitement. And that reading fits: despite range constraints, the car comes across as genuinely spirited and ready for enthusiastic driving—just the kind of attitude this segment has been lacking.
