X Factor

Perhaps more interesting than the fact that the Opel Mokka X still looks so fresh despite debuting more than three years ago is how similar it is to Singapore's best-selling model in terms of size and price.

The Opel Mokka X is the latest iteration of the German manufacturer's mini-crossover. The X denotes the facelift of the Mokka, which was launched in 2013. Keeping it perkily relevant is a new front end with new headlamps (LEDs are optional), a new grille, revised front and rear bumpers, and new tail lights.

Inside, the old Opel centre console has been completely revamped with a new touchscreen that is now neatly integrated into the dashboard, and an updated set of buttons and knobs below it.
