This follows its initial reveal in Europe late last year. Stellantis South Africa presented the facelifted Mokka at its annual Media Connect event in Johannesburg.

It boasts noticeable exterior updates that align with Opel\u2019s &#8220;Bold and Pure&#8221; design language. Key enhancements include a high-gloss black Opel Vizor grille and centralised Opel Blitz emblem. This is now a defining feature known as the Opel Compass. The Chrome detailing was removed. Additionally, the front bumper receives a sharper, sportier redesign. At the back, the tailgate is now adorned with a refreshed Mokka badge in a sleek script style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Replacing the previous Elegance trim, the entry-level Edition model now comes standard with 17-inch alloy wheels. Meanwhile, the more dynamic GS Line sports newly designed 18-inch diamond-cut alloys and a striking black roof as standard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both versions also benefit from upgraded LED headlights. These now feature integrated magnifying glass technology. They deliver resolution comparable to Opel\u2019s advanced Matrix IntelliLux system.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1013\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gauteng.net\/whats-on-g\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/gauteng-image-1753455798.png\" alt=\"Gauteng News Image\" class=\"wp-image-18398\" style=\"width:623px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gauteng.net\/whats-on-g\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/gauteng-image-1753455798.png 1013w, https:\/\/www.gauteng.net\/whats-on-g\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/gauteng-image-1753455798-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/www.gauteng.net\/whats-on-g\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/gauteng-image-1753455798-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/www.gauteng.net\/whats-on-g\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/gauteng-image-1753455798-150x100.png 150w, https:\/\/www.gauteng.net\/whats-on-g\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/gauteng-image-1753455798-450x300.png 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1013px) 100vw, 1013px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image: Opel<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div id=\"gaute-3840959043\" class=\"gaute-inbetween-content gaute-entity-placement\" style=\"margin-top: 30px;margin-bottom: 30px;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\"><div class=\"gaute-adlabel\">Advertisement<\/div><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1852772760112594\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1852772760112594\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"1819787043\" \ndata-ad-format=\"auto\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-interior-overhaul-with-high-tech-touches\">Interior Overhaul with High-Tech Touches<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Inside, the facelift introduces Opel\u2019s Pure Panel cockpit as a new standard. This setup includes two 10-inch digital displays. One for the instrument cluster, and another for the infotainment system, which now boasts improved performance, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and embedded sat-nav.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Comfort was enhanced, featuring a wireless charging pad, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, and power-folding side mirrors. The cabin also embraces USB Type-C connectivity.

Seat finishes vary, with cloth upholstery in the Edition and leather in the GS Line. The GS Line also adds power-adjustable, heated, and massaging front seats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-enhanced-safety-and-driver-assistance\">Enhanced Safety and Driver Assistance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Opel has improved the Mokka&#8217;s safety credentials as well.
