Opel has launched its brand-new, third generation Mokka, and its set to be one sizzling little car to take on the rivals in the upper B-segment of compact SUVs. | Wheels24

But, the brand had relaunched, and slowly but surely, they've been climbing its way back into the hearts of South Africans with one good product after the next. With a legacy of the Manta, Rekord C, Kadett, and Kapitan, Opel is laying a stake in the ground with its brand-new compact crossover Mokka - and the rest of the models en route.

The German brand has been setting the bar for decades, even before they started making cars and initially started with sewing machines, bicycles - even ones designed specifically for women. But we'll get into their rich heritage in another article.When you look at the new Mokka and know your cars and the brand's history, you immediately see the Manta A of yesteryear. The Opel Manta was a rear-wheel drive sports coupe that saw two generations from 1970 to 1988.

Opel might not have been moving many numbers in South Africa, but in the rest of the world, the brand reckons it'll increase their market share by more than 300% by the end of 2022. Overseas, Opels sell like hotcakes, akin to the Toyota Hilux or VW Polo Vivo here at home. The model name now appears in the center of the tailgate with a specific font that forms the word"Mokka" in a technical, fluid, and lively way. Digital detoxInside, the brand's new Opel Pure Panel sees two large screens to leave room only for the essentials - a digital detox is the best way to describe it. Unlike dashboards overloaded with information and controls, the Pure Panel displays an original and refined line, much as you would find in Volkwagen's latest products.
