OPEL MOKKA – car of the week at Panek Rent a Car

The new Opel MOKKA is a thoroughly modern car. Under its hood, the most awarded 3-cylinder 1.2 Pure Tech gasoline engine in recent years, which is characterized by high torque and remarkable flexibility. To meet the preferences of customers with different requirements, PANEK Rent a Car will offer versions with a 100 HP engine and a manual 6-speed gearbox and a 130 HP engine working with both a manual gearbox and an 8-speed automatic transmission.

Driving this car is really fun and comfortable. The more powerful drive version has a torque of 230 Nm available from 1750 rpm. This allows for an almost immediate response to the accelerator pedal and acceleration to 100 km / h in 9.2 seconds. Of course, everything takes place in silence, and the passengers’ ears can only hear slight sounds of flowing air.

The automatic 8-speed PSA gearbox is one of the most refined of its kind on the market. The gears are changed in an absolutely velvety manner, exactly as everyone would like it to be. The 100 HP version with a manual gearbox is only slightly weaker and has a lower torque of 205 Nm, which also translates into a slightly weaker start up to 100 km / h (10.6 s), but also here the gearbox allows for a very smooth ride especially in the range of higher speeds. Both versions are similarly fuel-efficient and can be satisfied with up to five liters of gasoline for every 100 kilometers.

By building MOKKA, Opel strongly marked its individuality and over 100 years of heritage. The entire new model range has gained a characteristic “look” referring to cars from the 70’s and 80’s of the last century, i.e. the Manta and Ascona models. The reference to the rich history is very successful and the car is just nice. Additional stylistic highlights are the prominent wheel arches emphasizing the sporty character of the car and the chrome strip that starts on the hood in the area of ​​the windshield and runs through the pillar, and then through the entire roof, to the tailgate. It adds lightness and elegance to the entire body line.

The interior of MOKKA is surprisingly spacious and will certainly seat 4 adult passengers comfortably. Noteworthy are the seats that can be adjusted in several planes and the multi-functional steering wheel that lies well in the hands, which additionally has been slightly flattened at the bottom so that you can get in and out of the car more comfortably. In the back, there is enough space to comfortably set off on a longer journey, and the luggage compartment with a capacity of as much as 500 dm3 will easily accommodate the luggage of friends going on a weekend trip to Sopot.

Opel MOKKA from PANEK Rent a Car is equipped with parking sensors and panoramic reversing cameras with a viewing angle of 180 degrees, as well as rain and dusk sensors. All of them are equipped with heated seats, and some cars also have heated steering wheels. We have not forgotten about the navigation system that works with the 7-inch display and the Bluetooth connectivity system, as well as Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. There are also safety systems on board: driver fatigue detection system, collision detection system with automatic braking system at low speeds, pedestrian detection system, cruise control and lane keeping system.
