Holden has recently announced plans to offer the Cascada in Australia and New Zealand in the first half of 2015.
The sleek Cascada convertible was launched in Europe back in 2012 as an Opel/Vauxhall. Meanwhile, it will wear the Holden badge for Australia and New Zealand, together with the Astra GTC and VXR three-door hatches as well as the Insignia VXR performance sedan.
"Holden is one of the strongest brands in Australia and the introduction of the Astra, Cascada and Insignia to the portfolio in 2015 will be a great addition," said Stefan Jacoby, General Motors Executive Vice President and President, GM International Operations (GMIO). "We are determined to offer Australian and New Zealand customers the best possible products that we can source from our global operations, as we build a strong future for Holden."
Under the hood, the Cascada is expected to be offered exclusively with a turbocharged 1.6-liter 4-cylinder engine which develops 170 hp and 279 Nm of torque. It is mated to a six-speed manual or automatic gearbox.
