New Mokka X in the works

The current Mokka X.

Opel is working on a second-generation Mokka X which will replace the current version in 2019, writes Brian Byrne.

The new model will be built on the PSA Peugeot-Citroen Group's EMP1 platform which underpins such cars as the DS3.

Following the purchase of Opel by PSA, all of the German maker's models are scheduled to be changed to non-GM platforms in order to avoid royalties to the US carmaker.

The current Mokka debuted at Geneva in 2012.
