Opel Teases 2021 Mokka’s ‘Pure Panel’ High-Tech Cockpit

BY Dan Mihalascu | Posted on

Opel continues to tease the next-generation Mokka subcompact crossover and is now pointing our attention to the interior design.

The party-piece of the cabin is the new Pure Panel featuring large displays. Opel describes the setup as “a high-tech cockpit that is both fully digital and yet focussed – ‘detoxed’”. As with most cars nowadays, the combination of widely stretched screens makes a multitude of buttons and controls superfluous.

The Opel Pure Panel is also said to provide the latest digital technologies and it relay important information for the driver “without any irritating visual stimuli”.

By reducing the number of buttons and controls, the interface offers the right balance between digitalization and purely intuitive operation, without needing to navigate into sub-menus.

“With the new Mokka, we bring the Opel Pure Panel to our customers for the first time. Large displays, seamlessly integrated into one horizontal information format, a minimal number of physical controls and clear detoxed digital information, all together create an optimised customer experience”, said Opel Design Vice President, Mark Adams.

The next-generation Mokka paves the way for the Opel models of the 2020s, which the automaker describes as “pure, precise, reduced to the essentials.” According to Opel, the crossover will retain a typical German design language that combines clarity with bold expressiveness. This philosophy will apply to the interior as well as the exterior of the next-generation Mokka.

Based on PSA’s CMP (EMP1) architecture, the 2021 Opel / Vauxhall Mokka will be up to 120 kg (265 lbs) lighter than its predecessor and will offer an all-electric variant for the first time – the Mokka-e.

The latter could use the same powertrain as the 134 HP Corsa-e and DS 3 Crossback E-Tense. Both models feature a 50 kWh battery enabling a 330-km (205-mile) driving range. The lineup will also include small-displacement, turbocharged petrol and diesel engines shared with other models in the PSA Group.

European deliveries of the new Mokka will start in early 2021, which means the unveiling is likely to happen later this year.
