Opel Unleashes the Mokka GSE: The Fastest All-Electric Blitz Yet

Opel has officially pulled the wraps off its most electrifying model to date: the all-new Mokka GSE. Teased under the energetic “OMG! GSE” campaign, the high-performance EV is no mere concept—it’s headed for serial production, bringing motorsport DNA to public roads with a bold, rally-inspired attitude.

This is not just another electric crossover. The Mokka GSE is Opel’s fastest-ever battery-electric production vehicle, drawing a direct line from the prototype Mokka GSE Rally that made waves in the electric motorsport world. And true to the Blitz badge’s promise, the production model delivers both thrilling specs and an equally head-turning design.

Performance: Electric Power, Motorsport Precision

At the heart of the Mokka GSE is a 207 kW (280 hp) electric powertrain delivering 345 Nm of instant torque. The result? A 0 to 100 km/h sprint in just 5.9 seconds and a top speed of 200 km/h, putting it firmly in hot hatch territory.

Drivers can tailor the experience with three drive modes:

  • Sport – for unfiltered performance
  • Normal – for balanced everyday use
  • Eco – to squeeze out maximum efficiency from the 54 kWh lithium-ion battery

Weighing in at under 1.6 tonnes, the Mokka GSE combines agility with rigidity. Opel has equipped it with a Torsen limited-slip differential, custom axles, double hydraulic dampers, and a sporty steering and braking setup—much of which borrows directly from Opel’s five-year expertise in the ADAC Opel Electric Rally Cup.

Design: Rally-Bred Aesthetics with GSE Exclusivity

Visually, the Mokka GSE is unmistakably bold. Distinct GSE-specific front and rear aprons, yellow-accented brake calipers, and aggressive 20-inch alloy wheels shod with Michelin Pilot Sport EV 225/40 R20 tyres signal this is no ordinary crossover. A splash of GSE badging and contrasting yellow and black highlights amp up the sporty presence even more.

Inside, the rally influence continues with Alcantara sports seats featuring integrated headrests, yellow contrast stitching, and unique striping. A newly developed flattened sport steering wheel, aluminium pedals, and grey/black/yellow interior accents all build an immersive cockpit focused on performance and precision.

A 10-inch digital driver display and central touchscreen offer customisable telemetry, including G-force meters, acceleration data, and battery stats, all presented in the exclusive GSE interface.

A Road-Legal Rally Machine for the Electrified Era

Opel’s Vice President of Marketing, Rebecca Reinermann, sums it up best:

“The new Mokka GSE brings motorsport energy to the streets… made to turn heads and thrill the driver.”

With its combination of track-capable performance, motorsport-honed engineering, and daily usability, the Mokka GSE is poised to redefine what drivers can expect from a compact electric vehicle. It’s not just another crossover—it’s a call to action for driving enthusiasts ready to embrace electrification without compromise.

Expect to see the Mokka GSE rolling into showrooms soon. Until then, all we can say is: OMG, indeed.

2025 Opel Mokka

In 2021, Opel revealed the first generation of its subcompact crossover SUV Mokka, and in 2021, the second generation of this model arrived on the market. Now the German company has decided to present a refreshed edition with several novelties.

Visually, it is difficult to distinguish the refreshed version from the current second generation Opel Mokka. However, a better look shows that the front bumper has been redesigned, which contributes to better aerodynamics, as well as the absence of fog lights from the lower intake. There are also front and rear LED graphics with three vertically aligned blocks like those of the Frontera and Grandland. The Opel Vizor got a new integrated Blitz logo, and there are no more chrome inserts.

Inside, the steering wheel, matte silver center console with USB-C port have been redesigned, while the smaller buttons and gear lever are taken over from the Grandland. There is also a digital cockpit with two 10-inch screens, a new infotainment system with smartphone-like widgets, improved voice recognition, navigation with integrated ChatGPT, while a 180-degree rear camera is an option.

When it comes to the powertrain, the base Mokka comes with a 1.2-L turbo three-cylinder engine with 136 hp (100 kW), mated to a 6-speed manual transmission that sends power to the front wheels. Customers can also choose a version with mild hybrid technology that combines a 1.2-L engine with a 28 hp electric motor, and a 6-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. The most powerful version is powered by a single electric motor with 156 hp (115 kW), and is equipped with a 54 kWh battery.

Speaking of the price, the new Opel Mokka with ICE in Germany costs 26,740 euros, the hybrid version 29,740 euros, while the all-electric version is the most expensive and costs 36,740 euros.
