The refreshed 2025 Opel Mokka has been overwhelmingly voted the winner of the “Best Design Innovation 2025” award, receiving votes from nearly 50% of the 14,000 readers of the German automotive magazine, auto motor und sport.
The 2025 Opel Mokka has proven itself the “best-looking small SUV/crossover,” securing the prestigious “Best Design Innovation 2025” award by a clear margin. The Mokka features a charismatic exterior with new colors, Opel’s updated Blitz logo, and new headlamp design with distinctive graphical accents. This coveted award was determined by an independent jury of 14,000 readers of auto motor und sport magazine. With this success, the New Mokka continues Opel‘s tradition of winning at the autonis awards. Previously, the Opel Rocks won the award in 2022, and the following year, readers selected the Opel Corsa, Germany’s most popular B hatchback, as the winner in its category.
The impressive nature of the Opel Mokka was confirmed by the 14,000 readers of the German automotive magazine auto motor und sport. In the autonis awards, readers honored the New Opel Mokka with the “Best Design Innovation 2025” award in the “Small SUV/Crossover” category. The Mokka won this prestigious accolade by securing 49.6% of the votes cast.
Patrick Dinger, Brand Director of Opel Germany, commented on the award: “The Opel Mokka is now bolder, cleaner, and sharper than ever. We’ve made the right improvements to make this bestseller even more self-confident and attractive for our customers. We are delighted that the auto motor und sport readers agree with us and have chosen the Mokka as the most stylish small SUV. I can confidently say that the new Mokka GSE, which has been developed to inspire excitement with its performance and design, will make car enthusiasts even happier.”
The new Opel Mokka GSE, which had its world premiere at the IAA Mobility show in Munich, received significant attention from car lovers. This performance-oriented electric SUV stands out with its elegant design, appealing not only as a high-performance EV but across all its variants.
The Opel Mokka can be summarized in three words: Modern, compact, and stylish. Opel‘s bestseller SUV has always possessed a striking character, and this year, the “Blitz Logo” brand has added even more appeal to the model.
Part of this enhanced appeal stems from its further sharpened design. Opel highlights the Mokka‘s visual strength with subtle touches: the newest Opel Blitz logo, a more modern interpretation of the LED signature in the front and rear light units, and black detailing running from the bonnet to the side design line.
The Mokka also stands out with new exterior colors. The Mokka-exclusive metallic colors “Kolibri Blue” and “Tropical Green,” along with the solid tone “Graphic Grey,” accentuate the eye-catching SUV’s impressive look.
However, the Mokka’s surprising impact extends far beyond its body design. The vehicle’s interior has also been renewed: The flat-bottomed and flat-topped steering wheel gives the vehicle a sporty character, bringing the Blitz logo and the Opel Vizor into the cabin while highlighting the Opel Compass design element found in the horizontal lines of the exterior.
The center console, which shimmers in matte silver, offers an even cleaner look than before. Designers and engineers integrated several settings previously controlled via physical buttons into the central digital infotainment system as touch controls. The cockpit design features enhancements that create a newer, more appealing, and luxurious feel. For instance, the remaining buttons for the electric parking brake and selectable driving modes were adopted from the upper-segment SUV, the Opel Grandland.
With its sharp exterior lines and clean, digital interior design philosophy, the Opel Mokka has clearly captured the hearts of auto motor und sport readers. For the 25th time, readers voted for their favorite designs online. A total of 14,000 readers voted this year, with 117 new products competing across 13 categories.
