Order Books now Open: New Opel Mokka YES with Extra Slice of Style

  • Character at first glance: YES special edition from €30,340 (RRP incl. VAT in Germany) with Koral Orange paint and orange accents in the interior
  • Attractive YES advantages: Roof in carbon black, black 17-inch alloy wheels, wheel arches and elements in front and rear bumpers, reversing camera, six-way adjustable front seats, armrest in the centre console
  • Wide range of drive options: Battery-electric, hybrid or with efficient combustion engine
  • Real statements: Opel Mokka YES becomes an absolute eye-catcher next to the top variant Mokka GSE

The Opel Mokka stands out as an extravagant eye-catcher among compact SUVs. Now Opel is making the Mokka even more individual and distinctive. From now on, it is also available as a colourful Mokka YES special edition with attractive extras for prices starting at €30,340 (RRP incl. VAT in Germany). After the success of the Opel Corsa YES, customers who want to stand out from the crowd even more can now also do so with their very special Opel Mokka. With this, Opel is adding further flavour to the Mokka range after already introducing the highly dynamic top-of-the-line Mokka GSE.


 “The Opel Mokka is a real eye-catcher in every variant. But we wanted to make the compact customer favourite even more varied. This is exactly what the new YES special edition stands for. At the same time, we are increasing the selection for all those who want to make a personal, extra-stylish statement with their vehicle. From now on, YES fans can choose between the Corsa, Germany's most popular small car, and the confidently designed Mokka,” said Patrick Dinger, Head of Opel Germany.

Like its Corsa counterpart, the new Opel Mokka YES also relies on strong colours and attractive series extras. The special edition is recognisable at first glance thanks to the unusual Koral Orange paint finish. The interior design is specially matched to the unmistakable colour. The decors around the instrument panel, the seat inserts as well as the stitching in seats and doors also shine in radiant orange. On the outside, the standard black 17-inch alloy wheels, the black roof and the matching lower front, side and rear areas, as well as the optional black bonnet, provide a characteristic contrast and an independent appearance. Those who prefer to set accents with a different paint finish, can alternatively choose from the colour palette of the GS line with a matching interior.

Comfort in the Opel Mokka YES is increased by standard additional features such as the six-way adjustable front seats and the armrest between driver and front passenger. All the necessary information is provided by the 10-inch driver information display and the 10-inch multimedia infotainment system’s colour touchscreen. Smartphones can be connected wirelessly via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Parking and manoeuvring in the city is made easier by the reversing camera, which is also standard. Privacy and protection from sunlight in the rear are provided by the dark-tinted rear windows.

In addition, various packages are on offer that further enhance the new Opel Mokka YES. While the tech packages include features such as front parking assist or adaptive cruise control, the infotainment package has integrated navigation with over-the-air updates, natural voice recognition and wireless charger. The comfort package offers, among other things, a double load floor and the winter package features heated front seats and steering wheel.

Opel Mokka YES customers can choose from three drivetrains. The locally emissions-free Opel Mokka Electric YES offers 115 kW (156 hp) and the hybrid version comes with 107 kW (145 hp) and electrified six-speed dual-clutch transmission. Alternatively, a classic 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol engine with 100 kW (136 hp) is also available.

Opel Confirms Strategic Steps Towards Local Vehicle and Engine Production in Algeria

  • During the German-Algerian Economic Forum in Berlin today, the already announced Opel vehicle plant was confirmed as part of the cooperation between Germany and Algeria
  • In addition, a Memorandum of Understanding was signed in Berlin between Opel Automobile GmbH and AGM Holding Company SpA to localise the first engine production in Algeria
  • The project will support the development of Algeria's automotive ecosystem while creating the required local production capacity for Opel

During the German-Algerian Economic Forum in Berlin, Opel confirmed to establish a full-scale vehicle manufacturing plant in Algeria producing cars. The project follows a local-for-local approach designed to strengthen the carmaker's long-term presence in the Algerian market.

In addition, Florian Huettl, CEO of Opel Automobile GmbH, and Mohamed Fawzi El Kabir, Managing Director of AGM Holding Company SpA, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) confirming their intention to integrate a local engine manufacturing line into Opel's future industrial footprint in Algeria. Through this initiative, Opel is set to become the first automotive manufacturer to produce engines locally in Algeria

Both projects contribute to a broader economic and industrial cooperation between Germany and Algeria and will support the development of Algeria's automotive ecosystem by creating new investment opportunities for companies across the value chain.

These announcements were made during the President of the People's Democratic Republic of Algeria’s visit to Berlin on July 16 and 17, an occasion chosen by the company to officially announce this new milestone in its industrial development in Algeria.

"I was delighted to meet His Excellence the President of Algeria. We discussed the importance of the market that has significant potential for Opel. The signing of this Memorandum of Understanding represents a strategic milestone as we continue to expand our international footprint beyond Europe," said Florian Huettl, CEO of Opel Automobile GmbH. "Our ambition is to make Opel's German engineering expertise and mobility solutions accessible to even more customers around the world. Today's agreement lays the foundation for long-term cooperation with our Algerian partners and reinforces our shared ambitions to create sustainable value. The project will support the development of Algeria's automotive ecosystem while creating the required local production capacity for Opel."

Opel Continues Growth Momentum: New Registrations, Market Share and Electric Vehicle Sales Increase in the First Half-Year

  • On track for global growth: Opel and Vauxhall sell around 313,000 vehicles in the first half of 2026
  • Europe gains momentum: Passenger car sales rise by 11.8 percent
  • Strong performance in Germany: Passenger car registrations are up by 15 percent
  • Successful models driving demand: Corsa remains number one, SUV family grows by more than 37 percent

Opel continued its positive growth momentum in the first half of 2026. From January to June, Opel and its British sister brand Vauxhall sold around 313,000 vehicles worldwide. The passenger car business in particular showed strong growth, with sales rising by more than 7 per cent compared with the same period last year.

Business also developed positively across Europe. In the Enlarged Europe region, Opel and Vauxhall sold around 231,000 passenger cars in the first half of the year, increasing sales by 11.8 percent compared with the same period last year. The market share rose to over 3 percent.

In particular, Opel’s latest generation of models is proving highly popular with customers. Demand for the SUV family comprising Grandland, Frontera and Mokka remains strong, with sales increasing by over 37 percent compared to the previous year globally. The new Vauxhall Frontera is also confirming its successful market launch: In the British B-SUV segment, the model has already reached second place. The all-electric variant is setting the benchmark in its class and has conquered the leading position among electric B-SUVs with a market share of around 16 percent.

Alongside the SUV range, the Opel Corsa remains one of the key success drivers for the German manufacturer. In the United Kingdom, the Vauxhall Corsa continues to lead in the B-hatch segment with a market share of more than 13 percent. In Germany, the Opel Corsa stays the clear number one among small cars. With a segment share of 17.2 percent, it further strengthened its leading position and gained an additional 1.1 percentage points compared with the previous year.

"In the first half of the year, we managed to continue growing despite a challenging market environment. With attractive vehicles, a consistent electrification approach and a strong presence in our core markets, we are continuing to gain market share. The development of our new SUV models and the ongoing success story of the Corsa are particularly pleasing. This gives us strong momentum as we enter the second half of the year," said Florian Huettl, CEO Opel and Vauxhall.

Opel delivered a particularly strong performance in its home market of Germany. With an increase of 15 percent in new passenger car registrations compared with the previous year, the German manufacturer continued its growth momentum in the first half of the year and achieved a market share of 5 percent among passenger cars and light commercial vehicles. At the same time, the success of the Astra Sports Tourer Electric underlines the strength of the current product portfolio: the model continues to hold the leading position in its segment among mainstream manufacturers.
