What Happened
Opel is using International Coffee Day on October 1 to promote the Mokka GSE, presenting the electric sports car as a blend that stands out from the crowd. The car delivers a peak output of 207 kW (281 hp) and immediate torque of 345 Newton meters, accelerating from a standing start to 100 km/h in 5.9 seconds. With a top speed of 200 km/h it is, Opel says, the fastest all-electric production Opel car so far. The company describes it as an uncompromising, dynamic everyday sports car that thrills motorsport fans and car enthusiasts alike. The name carries the pitch: Mokka stands for spice and a full-bodied feeling, while GSE stands for goosebumps, speed and electrifying emotions.

The Mokka GSE was named 'Best Small Car' and won the 'Golden Steering Wheel 2025' award immediately after its launch last year; the prize came from AUTO BILD issue 47/2025 and BILD am SONNTAG issue 47/2025 in the 'Small Cars' category. For those who prefer a more relaxed experience, Opel also offers the standard Mokka in a range of other trims and powertrain combinations. In a battery-electric Mokka, owners can even make their favourite coffee anywhere: V2L, or vehicle-to-load, means the high-voltage battery powers or charges external devices without a power socket.

Previously from Opel Automobile GmbH
Opel has been building out the Mokka GSE's sporting image: it launched a GSE ambassador campaign fronted by racing driver Sophia Flörsch for the Mokka GSE, which it calls its fastest all-electric production car to date.
