The 2025 Opel Mokka GSe targets a growing segment: compact EV buyers who want more than silent cruising. It brings proven rally-tuned hardware, a 54 kWh battery, and a sport-oriented calibration that directly connects Opel’s motorsport heritage with the brand’s electric future. While Europe gets it first, the U.S. market is watching—closely.
High-Performance EV Powertrain Designed for Responsiveness
The Mokka GSe runs on Stellantis’ CMP platform, already used by other small electric crossovers. Its 115 kW electric motor (154 hp) sends power to the front wheels. Acceleration is brisk. Expect 0–62 mph in under 10 seconds. The torque is instant, and the car remains stable at higher speeds.
Powertrain Overview:
- Electric motor output: 154 hp (115 kW)
- Battery capacity: 54 kWh lithium-ion
- Drive layout: Front-wheel drive
- Estimated EPA range: ~230 miles
Opel estimates 252 miles of WLTP range, but real-world U.S. figures will be lower. A 100 kW DC fast charger gets the pack from 20% to 80% in just 30 minutes.
GSe-Specific Suspension: What Separates This from Other EV Crossovers
The GSe badge isn’t marketing fluff. Opel re-tuned the suspension, steering, and damper response for drivers who want more precise handling. Unlike many compact EVs, the Mokka GSe feels composed at high speed and agile in corners.
Key chassis upgrades:
- Koni FSD dampers with frequency-selective damping
- Stiffer coil springs
- Lowered ride height vs standard Mokka Electric
- Torsion beam rear axle, tuned for load-bearing corner stability
It rides on 18-inch wheels with all-season performance tires, giving it a real edge in urban driving. The difference is clear in quick transitions and tight curves. Opel aimed for engagement, not softness.
Rally-Inspired Exterior Styling Adds Function Over Flash
Visual upgrades support the GSe’s mission. Unlike chrome-heavy EVs, the Mokka GSe looks the part—sharp, blacked-out, and focused. The black roof, mirror caps, and GSe-specific bumpers distinguish it from other Mokka trims.
Design highlights:
- Matte black Vizor grille
- Unique GSe front fascia and lower spoiler
- 18-inch gloss black alloy wheels
- Optional performance color palette (including Volt Yellow)
It’s subtle but meaningful. Opel didn’t over-style the car. Every design decision supports cooling, visibility, or stability.
Cabin Prioritizes Clarity Over Gimmicks
Inside, the Opel Mokka GSe continues its performance-first identity. No fake luxury. No oversized screens. Opel sticks with physical climate controls, which is good. The 12-inch driver display and 10-inch touchscreen are responsive and easy to read. The graphics are clean. Lag is minimal.
Interior features:
- Alcantara-trimmed sport seats
- Flat-bottom steering wheel
- GSe badging on dash and seatbacks
- Android Auto and Apple CarPlay (wireless)
- Drive modes: Normal, Eco, and Sport
Trunk space lands at 12.4 cubic feet (350 liters), expandable to 42.3 cubic feet (1,200 liters) with the rear seats folded. It’s a compact SUV that doesn’t pretend to be anything else.
