Alongside the new Corsa Hybrid which I recently reviewed, Opel Ireland has introduced the Mokka small SUV in hybrid form also, writes Brian Byrne.
The power unit is based on a new generation 3-cylinder 1.2 petrol engine, with a 136hp total output and a 6-speed dual clutch automatic transmission.
The 48V lithium-ion battery is recharged via recuperation and the petrol engine. Technically a so-called mild hybrid, in this application the car is able to travel on electric power alone for up to a kilometre, or up to 50pc of the time in urban driving.
Price from €34,995.
