Absolute Precision: All-New Opel Mokka Shows New Face of Opel

  • Central design feature: Vizor organises fascia elements and stretches across front
  • Bold and pure: New face consistent with future Design philosophy
  • New family look: All future Opel models will feature Opel Vizor

Vizor of the all-new Opel Mokka extends in one single sweep across the front of the vehicle underneath the bonnet, visually stretching its width and organising the fascia with a reduced amount of elements.

Next Opel Mokka will be the first model to show the new face of the German brand. Team around Opel Design Vice President, Mark Adams has created a new, unmistakable front – Opel Vizor. Like a full-face helmet, a protective vizor that organically integrates the grille, the headlights and the brand logo in one single module covers the new Opel face.

Legendary first generation Opel Manta inspired the initial concept of this elegant feature: for the all-new Opel Mokka, the designers literally reinvented the Manta’s grille with twin headlight-modules on a black surface, framed by a thin chrome bar.

Vizor of the all-new Opel Mokka extends in one single sweep across the front of the vehicle underneath the bonnet, visually stretching its width and organising the fascia with a reduced amount of elements. No superfluous decoration disturbs the focus on a pure, flush surface that perfectly integrates the headlights. Legendary Opel lightning-flash emblem proudly dominates the centre. It looks pure, precise and technical, a perfect match to the all-new Opel Mokka that will only have high-quality LED lamps as well as the latest generation of IntelliLux LED Matrix headlights – a true highlight in this market segment. Opel Vizor will become a hallmark of all Opel models in the course of the 2020s with the idea of further clustering top technologies


“It was very important for us to create a fresh new face for the brand that was true to our future design philosophy of being both bold and pure. Our new Vizor that makes its debut in the next generation Opel Mokka is very clear and distinctive, while being true to its German roots of form follows function. There is no need for a classic grille in electric cars like the Opel Mokka, so the Vizor creates a seamless integration of future lighting and other technologies, all within a high-tech protective surface” explained Mark Adams .

New brand face follows the compass philosophy of Opel. Next-generation Opel Mokka will show for the first time the new template for the front and rear view of future Opel models. In the design compass, two axes intersect with the Opel lightning flash in the middle, so that the brand emblem is increasingly becoming the central feature. Now sharper and clearer crease in the hood, which is typical of the latest Opel vehicles, continues below the flash and determines the vertical axis. Characteristic wing-shaped graphic of the LED daytime running lights, which all future Opel models will also retain, symbolizes the horizontal axis.
