The Opel Mokka SUV has been awarded five stars by the independent consumer organisation Euro NCAP (European New Car Assessment Programme).

The new Opel SUV was given the highest total score of all tested cars. It now joins the ranks of the Ampera, Astra, Corsa, Insignia, Meriva and Zafira, which all scored the top rating of five stars in the Euro NCAP program.

“It has been a longstanding tradition at Opel to offer the highest possible safety standards to our customers, and the Mokka impressively strength­ens our leading role in safety technology.

“As always, Opel brings cutting-edge technologies to a wider segment of customers.

“We are extremely proud of this,” Opel vice- president Engineering, Michael Ableson, said.

Overall, the Mokka achieved impressive results in all five safety categories tested by Euro NCAP. The new Opel SUV scored maximum points, or 100 per cent, in the safety assist category, making it one of only a handful of cars in the European market to be given such a strong test rating.

In the adult occupant category, the Mokka achieved 96 per cent..

In child occupant safety, Euro NCAP noted: “The Mokka scored maximum points based on the readings from the three-year-old child dummy in the dynamics test.”

In the pedestrian safety category, the Mokka’s bumper scored maximum points. Euro NCAP highlighted its “good protection to pedestrians’ legs”.

The Mokka was launch­ed on June 13 at the Merkanti Bay, Hilton, by Cars International Ltd.

Since its market launch in June, the all-new Mokka has been given a lot of positive media and customer feedback.

This is reflected in more than 50,000 orders that have been received since its sales launch.
