New Opel Mokka: First-class Digital Infotainment Experience

  • Cockpit based on the next generation Snapdragon® Cockpit Platform and Snapdragon® Auto Connectivity Platform from Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.
  • Highly customisable 10-inch digital driver information and colour touchscreen as standard
  • Colour touchscreen can be operated via widgets like a smartphone
  • Natural voice recognition ‘Hey Opel’ in combination with navigation system
  • Intelligent ChatGPT functionalities for the first time in new Opel Mokka
  • 180-degree HD rear-view camera ensures excellent visibility when manoeuvring in city

While new Opel Mokka is as eye-catching as ever thanks to its gently sharpened exterior design, it truly impresses with its refreshed interior with new technologies and innovations. Thanks to the new cockpit and infotainment, Mokka drivers can look forward to an even more connected and relaxed journey. This is ensured by Snapdragon®'s state-of-the-art technology platform as well as standard equipment with 10-inch screens that can be personalised in many ways. With ChatGPT 2, artificial, co-learning intelligence comes into play in Opel Mokka for first time, making every car journey more pleasant and entertaining. New Opel Mokka is stylistically refined on outside and on a new level on inside – bold, pure, intuitive and forward-looking    

Intelligent, intuitive, customisable: Upgraded Opel Mokka infotainment system

New multimedia and navigation infotainment system takes Opel Mokka to next level. Cockpit utilises Qualcomm Technologies’ next generation Snapdragon Cockpit Platform and Snapdragon Auto Connectivity Platform 1 to enable premium in-vehicle experiences, including state-of-the-art graphics, multimedia and enhanced connectivity capabilities such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and 4G.

Further developed bestseller now offers a 10-inch digital driver information display and an equally large colour touchscreen as standard. Latter can be easily operated via widgets, just like a smartphone – alternatively and in combination with the optional navigation system, a ‘Hey Opel’ is enough to use  natural voice recognition. Both displays can be personalised in many ways. System recognises driver's personal profile on connected smartphone; connection is always wireless in new Opel Mokka. Various virtual shortcuts can be set up on central screen and up to seven different colour schemes for preferred ambience offer further customisation options.

When ordered with integrated navigation system, map updates are made available automatically over-the-air. System also constantly learns and – based on habits of linked driver profile – independently suggests destinations and routes. myOpel app can also be used to easily send the destination and the corresponding route to the vehicle. Another advantage for drivers of all-electric Opel Mokka Electric: After entering the desired destination, the remaining charge level of the battery upon arrival is displayed. This is determined according to the previous driving style. Route can also be planned including charging stops along the way. System then calculates possible driving and charging times. And the screen of the battery-electric SUV provides customers with a wide range of information and statistics on energy consumption, charge level and remaining range, as well as energy recuperation.

So much information: ChatGPT makes new Opel Mokka even smarter

In addition, Opel offers an innovative solution for new Mokka and other models to make it easier to find your way around in unfamiliar surroundings or simply to make long journeys more entertaining: ChatGPT 2, which is available in conjunction with Connected Navigation. With functionalities of this generative AI technology, Opel drivers and passengers have access to a wide range of information from a long list of topics. Technology, developed by OpenAI, can return it to its users in a sophisticated and precise way.

For example, when looking for a restaurant in an unfamiliar city, ChatGPT 2 can make suggestions based on personal preferences and offers routing to the chosen destination. It can also answer questions such as which artist performed a certain song, who starred in a blockbuster movie – it can even create a quiz to increase the entertainment factor.

Thus, ChatGPT 2 is another example of how Opel is making top technologies accessible and affordable for a wide range of customers. This has also been recognised by the high-profile international AUTOBEST jury which awarded Opel and other Stellantis brands with the ‘SMARTBEST 2025’ for the introduction of ChatGPT 2 in their models. Award recognises pioneering solutions for onboard connectivity in vehicles.

Enhance convenience and security: Digital displays, multiple connectivity options

In addition to wireless connection of compatible smartphones to infotainment system, personal mobile device can also be charged wirelessly in centre console of new Opel Mokka. Furthermore, portable devices such as smartphones and tablets can also be connected via the USB-C socket in the centre console.

Elsewhere, the new high-definition 180-degree rear-view camera ensures excellent visibility when manoeuvring in the city. When reverse gear is engaged, the view behind the vehicle is displayed on the 10-inch infotainment monitor. In addition to visualisation, signal and warning sounds support manoeuvring in tight spaces.

In all of this, clarity and intuitive operation of assistance systems, infotainment and setting options such as air conditioning were focus of development of Opel Mokka cockpit. Engineers and designers have integrated some settings that could previously be controlled via buttons into the central colour touchscreen. And assistance systems, which are not essential for every situation, can be easily deactivated and switched on again at the touch of just one button. Entire cockpit design appears fresher and more desirable, as if from a higher vehicle class. For example, design of remaining switches for the electric parking brake and the selectable driving modes (on Opel Mokka Electric and automatic variants) comes from all-new Opel Grandland.

All-New Sixth-Generation Opel Corsa Goes Electric

  • New Opel Corsa-e: offers electric driving range of 330 kilometres (WLTP)
  • Powerful: 100 kW (136 hp) in every Corsa-e
  • Active safety: systems include adaptive speed assistance
  • Bright idea: IntelliLux LED Matrix light for first time in small car segment


All-New Opel Corsa-e: offers electric driving range of 330 kilometres

Opel goes electric. With the all-new, sixth generation Corsa, the German carmaker is offering for the first time a battery-electric version with a range of 330 kilometres (WLTP, provisional figure). Opel has chosen the brand’s most popular model to finally bring electric mobility out of its niche-existence. Opel Corsa is an absolute bestseller. More than 13.6 million units have been produced since the world premiere in 1982. Opel Corsa has made millions of people mobile; now it is offering them access to emission-free driving. Order books for the sixth-generation Opel Corsa will open in a few weeks, beginning with the Opel Corsa-e, followed by the diesel and petrol versions.




Impressive data: 100kW (136hp) power output, 330 km range



Opel has been producing cars for 120 years and has always made technology available to a wide audience of car buyers. New Opel Corsa-e offers state-of-the-art electric mobility. With a range of 330 km according to WLTP, five-seat Opel Corsa-e is suitable for unconstrained every-day use. 50 kWh battery can be fast-charged to 80 per cent of its capacity in 30 minutes. Opel Corsa-e is prepared for all charging options – via cable, wallbox or high-speed charging – and the battery is covered by an eight-year warranty. State-of-charge can be checked with the “myOpel” app, so that charging times and costs can be optimized at all times.



Furthermore, the range can be adapted by the driver, who can choose from three driving modes – Normal, Eco and Sport. Sport increases responsiveness and driving dynamics, with a moderate loss of driving range. In Eco mode Opel Corsa-e becomes a long-distance runner, significantly increasing the range while hardly affecting comfort.



Opel Corsa-e’s propulsion system combines emission-free driving with a maximum “fun-to-drive” factor. Thanks to the 100 kW (136 hp) power output and a maximum 260 Nm of instantaneous torque, the highlights include responsiveness, agility and dynamic performance. Opel Corsa-e needs only 2.8 seconds to sprint from zero to 50 km/h, only 8.1 seconds from zero to 100 km/h – a match for sports cars.



Opel Corsa-e also looks dynamic thanks to its sporty design, while the compact exterior dimensions of previous generations are retained. With a length of 4.06 metres Opel Corsa remains an agile, practical and well-arranged five-seater. Roof line is coupé-like, 48 mm lower than its predecessor’s, without detriment to headroom. Driver sits 28mm lower. Handling and driving dynamics benefit from the lower centre of gravity. Handling is responsive and dynamic, for more fun behind the steering wheel. Modern interior with fully digitalised cockpit can even be upgraded with leather seats.

Safety first: IntelliLux LED Matrix light, side blind-spot assist, flank guard

All-New Opel Corsa-e: IntelliLux LED Matrix light

Technologies and assistance systems that are more often found in higher market segments make their debut in the Opel Corsa-e. The top features include the adaptive, glare-free IntelliLux LED Matrix light that Opel offers for the first time in the small car segment. Eight LED elements, controlled by a newest-generation high-resolution front camera, continuously adapt light beam to the prevailing traffic situation and the surroundings. Advanced driver assistance systems provide tangible additional safety. Thanks to the new front camera traffic sign recognition now detects additional information, such as LED signs. Speed limits saved in the system are also shown in the display.

All-New Opel Corsa-e: Full LED tail light


Radar supported adaptive speed control and sensor-based flank-guard celebrate their premiere in the new  Opel Corsa. Side blind-spot assist and a variety of parking assistants are also available.



Multimedia systems with Opel Connect telematics service



New infotainment systems keep the new Opel Corsa’s drivers and passenger fully connected. Multimedia Navi with 7.0 inch colour touchscreen, as well as the top-of-the-line Multimedia Navi Pro with 10.0 inch colour touchscreen, also offer the new “Opel Connect” telematics service. Helpful functions, such as Live Navigation with real-time traffic information, as well as direct connection with roadside assistance and emergency call, give additional peace of mind to drivers and passengers.

!NEW! Opel Ampera-e Impresses with Electrifying High-tech

  • Revolutionary: Electric range of 520 kilometers (in accordance with NEDC)
  • All-round safety: Assistance systems guard, warn and even brake in an emergency
  • Outstanding connectivity: 4G/LTE Wi-Fi Hotspot, smartphone integration and new OnStar services
  • Tailored: New myOpelApp developed especially for the Opel Ampera-e

Range champion: New Opel Ampera-e can cover 520 kilometers (measured in accordance with the New European Driving Cycle) between charges.

The new Opel Ampera-e is the electric car with a revolutionary officially certified NEDC range of 520 kilometers (measured in accordance with the New European Driving Cycle). The 4.17 meter long Ampera-e also offers plenty of space for up to five passengers plus trunk space of 381 liters (1,274 liters when the seats are folded down), which is more than some compact class cars. “We are bringing an electric car fully suitable for everyday use to market in the Ampera-e. It is not eco-luxury, not a gadget and not just a second car. Opel is showing that electro-mobility is also achievable for a much broader audience thanks to the most innovative technology,” said Opel CEO Dr. Karl-Thomas Neumann. The newcomer has been available for order in Norway, a country fully geared up for electro-mobility, for a few weeks now and orders have surpassed 3,400. With the Opel Ampera-e set to go on sale in Germany, the Netherlands, France and Switzerland shortly it is time to get to know the electric car better and take a closer look at the combination of high-tech battery, assistance systems and digital connectivity.
 

No range anxiety: New Opel Ampera-e revolutionizes electro-mobility.



The new Opel Ampera-e – Overview

Battery & range

60 kWh lithium-ion battery consisting of 288 cells arranged in eight modules of 30 and two modules of 24 cells. The entire battery pack is an integral part of the underbody. This saves space while simultaneously guaranteeing safety. A 30-minute charge at a 50 kW DC public fast-charger will add a further 150 kilometers of range. Opel grant a warranty of up to eight years or 160,000 kilometers for the battery system. The revolutionary electric car has a range of 520 kilometers measured based on the NEDC test cycle with a full battery. And the Opel Ampera-e also impresses when tested approximated to the speed profile defined in the WLTP (Worldwide Harmonized Light-Duty Vehicles Test Procedure) driving cycle (shortened test procedure): Based on this development test, the engineers estimate a combined WLTP range of 380 kilometers. Naturally, the range in everyday use will vary and depends on personal driving behavior and on external factors.


Performance & torque

Instant torque of 360 Nm is responsible for the electrifying temperament of the Ampera-e. The output of the electric motor is equivalent to 150 kW/204 hp (PS). This enables the Opel Ampera-e to accelerate from 0 to 50 km/h in just 3.2 seconds and from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.3 seconds – times rivalling those of sports cars. Mid-range acceleration from 80 to 120 km/h, which is especially important for overtaking maneuvers, is completed in just 4.5 seconds. Top speed is limited to 150 km/h for the benefit of the overall range.

Comfort & Safety

The new Ampera-e also follows Opel’s strategy of making technologies normally only known from the luxury class available to a broader audience at affordable prices. Therefore, the electric car from Rüsselsheim comes with a string of high-tech assistance systems.

Advanced Park Assist: It finds suitable parallel and perpendicular parking slots automatically park the Ampera-e. The driver only needs to operate the pedals. Advanced Park Assist scans free parking spaces between parallel parked vehicles as normally encountered on supermarket car parks. Furthermore, the clever assistant searches for roadside parking spots between parked cars. The driver always has an excellent overview thanks to the 130-degree rear-view camera.

Safety assistant: A string of systems helps ensure that the Opel Ampera-e always keeps a safe distance to the vehicle in front, does not unintentionally leave its lane, no other road users are overlooked and supports the driver right up to emergency braking. The amount of assistants even helps eliminate the fear of being caught in hectic rush-hour traffic. The assistants are:

  • Following Distance Indication & Forward Collision Alert – for sufficient distance to vehicles in front
  • Lane Keep Assist – issues a warning when unintentionally leaving the lane (active at speeds between 60 and 150 km/h). Provides gentle steering wheel turns but does not steer the car continuously.
  • Rear Cross Traffic Alert, radar based – for safe reversing
  • Automatic High Beam Assist & Traffic Sign Assistant – to see everything at a glance.
  • Radar based Lane Change Alert and Side Blind Zone Alert – so that nothing and nobody is overlooked
  • Pedestrian Safety Signal & Front Pedestrian Mitigation Braking – to protect pedestrians. The warning signal was developed to make distracted or blind pedestrians aware of the quiet electric car and is active at speeds up to 30 km/h.
  • Forward Collision Alert with Low Speed Collision Mitigation Braking & Reflective LED Alert Display – to help prevent front-end collisions.

Infotainment & connectivity

Well informed: New Opel Ampera-e with digital instrument panel and central, iPad-inspired monitor.


Opel’s electric car is the perfect match for our digital age: essential operations are performed via the individually configurable, tablet-like 10.2 inch color monitor. All important information on the vehicle or the outside conditions can be displayed here. The IntelliLink-e infotainment system can integrate compatible smartphones via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. These can be charged even when not connected through a cable thanks to wireless charging. Features such as voice control, USB and Bluetooth interfaces are obviously also available. Audiophile Ampera-e owners can also order the Bose sound system with subwoofer – a special treat in the super-silent electric car.

IntelliLink-e finally fuses to create a complete service offering when combined with the personal service and connectivity assistant Opel OnStar. OnStar offers a powerful 4G/LTE Wi-Fi Hotspot, ensuring outstanding connectivity for all Ampera-e occupants and their mobile devices. Furthermore, Opel OnStar users are only a press of a button away from a personal advisor who can help book a hotel room (booking service), find the closest available charging station or provide directions to a car park.

The digital offering is rounded off by the newly developed myOpelApp. It gives Ampera-e owners the possibility of controlling their car from afar – just like with all other models with Opel OnStar on board. The app helps fully exploit the advantages of an electric car: The Ampera-e can be pre-heated or pre-cooled no matter whether it is parked at a charging station or not via the app, thus enabling passengers to get into a perfectly acclimatized car no matter what the weather. In combination with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto the app also enables the location of charging stations to be considered when planning routes – just in case the distance exceeds the range.

Just like its sibling the Chevrolet Bolt EV, the Opel Ampera-e is made in the GM plant in Orion, Michigan.

!NEW! Opel Insignia - Interactive Owner’s Manual

  • New app myOpel expanded with electronic handbook myOpel Manual
  • Smartphone scans vehicle details and connects to owner’s manual
  • World premiere at Frankfurt International Motor Show


New Opel Insignia customers can look forward to using an all-new, clever and very user-friendly owner’s manual for Opel’s new flagship model, which makes its debut at the IAA before entering showrooms in late September. They will no longer have to search through hundreds of pages of text to find the function of a button or the meaning of a symbol because all they need to do is download myOpel from the app store. This free Opel app will be expanded with an extremely useful function – the myOpel Manual.


With myOpel Manual, everyone can use an interactive owner’s manual when they are underway. Once the app is installed, it is sufficient to simply scan any part of the car which needs explanation with the smartphone’s camera. The display screen will show a yellow circle around the switch or read-out in question, and the customer then just touches the symbol on the touchscreen to immediately get an explanation of the selected element – it doesn’t get any easier and faster than this.


Another example of myOpel Manual’s capabilities: the driver wants to check the oil level of the new Opel Insignia for the first time and is looking for the dipstick. After a quick scan of the engine compartment with a smartphone, myOpel Manual will show the containers and filler necks important for the driver on the display – and of course where the dipstick is located as well as the relevant section of text from the owner’s manual.

Smart helper: Opel app shows the relevant section of text from the owner’s manual
myOpel Manual is the latest proof of just how much value Opel places on the connectivity of its cars and the best-possible service for its customers. With its revolutionary infotainment system, the new Opel Insignia is the best example of this commitment. Whether the system’s intuitive operation takes place via voice command, over the touchpad controller, control buttons or the large touchscreen – depending on driver or front passenger’s preferences – the possibilities are many.

Based on augmented reality technology, the Insignia owner’s manual myOpel Manual is expected to become part of the recently introduced app myOpel from late fall. This Opel app enables dialog between customer, dealer and manufacturer. It also offers practical functions such as a parking space finder and an electronic accident report. myOpel Manual is initially available for the iOS operating system, with an Android-based version to follow shortly.



“Customers should be completely satisfied with every contact they have with the Opel brand, as well as with their daily use of and interaction with their car. Contact with the brand is now even closer through the free myOpel app, which enables dealers and owners to maintain an ongoing dialog. And the current highlight is the intuitive owner’s manual myOpel Manual that, for starters, will really please Insignia owners,” says Markus Sternberg, Executive Director Customer Experience Europe, describing interactive developments at Opel.

There is more to come, as Opel programmers are already working on further new service offers. An owner’s manual (digital and print) individually written for every Opel model and an Opel Owner’s Center – a social online channel for Opel customers – are at the top of their development list.
