  • 2015 Opel Cascada Comes With Top Down and More Powerful Engine

    2015 Opel Cascada comes with elegant lines, next-gen technology and extensive equipment. And now Opel offers even more spacious and more comfortable four-seater with numerous high-quality components and tweaks. The 2015 Cascada features incredible acoustic and thermal insulation. Furthermore the sophisticated top opens in just 17 seconds, which ensures a fast reaction, if the weather decides to change drastically.

    And now the Opel brand geared the latest Cascada with a special 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbo diesel engine, that was recently introduced with the Insignia and Zafira Tourer models. The engineering wonder produces a total of 170 hp (125 kW) and 400 Nm torque. Compared with its predecessor, the powerplant delivers three percent more power and 14 per cent more torque, but also better fuel efficiency. With the six-speed manual transmission the vehicle consumes about less than 5 liters per 100 km (62 miles) and delivers 129 g/km CO2 emissions.

    The Euro 6 2.0 CDTI engine really makes a difference. Not only with the efficiency, but with the performance: the vehicle goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 10.3 seconds and chases the top speed of 218 km/h. Something more. The vehicle goes from 80 to 120 km/h in fifth gear in only 9.3 seconds. This makes the car  seven-tenths faster than the older model.

    The 2015 Opel Cascada prices start from $34,306

  • 2013 Opel Cascada – Glamorous Mid-size Convertible

    Opel will exhibit the all-new 2013 Cascada at the Geneva Motor Show. This is an elegant four-seater convertible with nice silhouette and a sophisticated, high quality soft-top.

    The mid-size convertible has a length of 4,700 mm, which means enough space for four occupants. It also boasts many premium technologies and features. The sharp driving experience is granted by a super-rigid body, advanced HiPerStrut front suspension and adaptive mechatronic FlexRide chassis system.

    All occupants can enjoy the pleasures of open-air driving thanks to the premium quality soft-top which opens at the touch of a button in 17 seconds while driving at speeds of up to 50 km/h. It can also be activated by remote control when the car is stationary.

    Other interesting feature is the load capacity of 380 liters (top closed). To increase load volume, the Opel Cascada benefits from the FlexFold system which electrically releases and folds down the 50:50 split rear seat-back rests – a feature that cannot be offered in hard-top convertibles.

    The equipment boasts automatic seatbelt presenters, exclusive Nappa leather upholstery and ventilated ergonomic seats, as well as a host of safety systems, enhance interior comfort and provide greater safety for relaxed driving pleasure..

    2013 Opel Cascada is priced from €25,945. It will be available in the dealerships in April.
