Vauxhall have decided to tackle the poor economic climate head on as opposed to using harsh cost saving measures. Over the past few months the company has launched 3 all-new models showing that they believe a strong product offering will aid in growth. They are still at it as Vauxhall announce their 4th all-new model, the Cascada.

Don’t let the images fool you, this is not an Astra cabriolet. The Cascada is a completely new car seating four and delivering alfresco motoring to all. There is a range of four engines on offer including a brand new 1.6 litre turbo with over 160BHP, as well as a 2.0 litre diesel. The fabric roof has a special fleeced lining to retain heat inside of the car and can be retracted in 17 seconds at speeds of up to 30MPH. Cog swapping is the job of a 6 speed automatic gearbox. Vauxhall’s HiPerStrut suspension also features in this car.

The Vauxhall Cascada goes on sale March 2013.
