Opel/Vauxhall has recently released the first teaser image of their mid-size four-seat convertible, named as the Cascada.
Based on the Delta II architecture, the model measures 4,700 mm long, making it 70 mm longer than the Audi A5 Cabriolet, and has a full-size fabric roof which can be operated at a speed of 31 mph. In addition, the convertible comes with the HiPerStrut front suspension and the Watt link rear axle, which are borrowed from the new Asta GTC.
"Cascada, along with ADAM and Mokka, will bring a fresh and exciting dimension to our product line-up for customers. This year is genuinely a new chapter in Vauxhall’s long history, and I’m pleased that we’re able to enter the mid-size convertible sector with Cascada, and continue to refresh people’s perception of our great brand" said Vauxhall’s Chairman and Managing Director, Duncan Aldred.
Motivation will likely be provided by Opel's more powerful engines such as the all-new 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine with direct injection and Start/Stop producing up to 197 hp.
No information about the starting price but the car is expected to hit market in early 2013.
