Opel has previously announced plans to
replace their sub-compact SUV in 2019, when an all-new model will begin
assembly at the Eisenach factory. These are the very first images depicting the
2nd-gen car while undergoing cold weather testing in Sweden.
Following PSA’s acquisition of Opel from GM, the new
model is believed to be based on the French group’s CMP (EMP1) modular
architecture for subcompact models instead of the current car’s GM Gamma 2
platform shared with the Buick Encore and Chevrolet Trax.
Unfortunately, the camouflage is very extensive and
aside from its general shape and size, smaller headlights and seemingly
larger-than-before grille, we can’t really make out any design traits. The
current Mokka X has been selling rather well, boasting features such as LED
headlights and taillights, an Astra-like dashboard design, 7 and 8″ touchscreen
displays, adaptive headlights and a bevy of active safety technologies, like
the Traffic Sign Assistant, Following Distance Indication, Forward Collision
Alert and Lane Departure Warning.
For the all-new model, we’re expecting an increase
in driver assistance systems, brand new interior and exterior designs, as well
as some type of electrified powertrain joining the range, among all the diesel
and petrol units.
