Opel has revealed the name of their latest model to the line-up. The Cascada, a convertible, is the third vehicle to be introduced in 2012 although it won’t hit show room floors until next year when it makes it global debut.

The name Cascada is derived from the Spanish word meaning waterfall, the name ends in the traditional letter “a” typical for Opel. It also conveys a rhythmic, dynamic and flowing elegance, beauty, freshness and pure pleasure for open-air driving.

The muscular, sculpted new Opel Cascada with its beautifully balanced proportions and elongated silhouette has a classy and stylish appearance. Its high quality soft top underscores the car’s elegance and finesse. It is aimed at the driver with refined tastes and high expectations.

The body is sleek and has a length of 4.70 metres. The new four-seater Opel open-air model is a contender in the mid-size convertible segment. In that sense the Cascada is more closely linked to the prestigious and classic Opel convertibles of the fifties and sixties such as the “Kapitän” and “Rekord” variants, than to the compact convertible models of the past two decades.

Numerous premium features and technologies underscore the high standard of craftsmanship found in the new Opel Cascada. At the touch of a button, the high quality fabric roof can be opened quickly and smoothly even while the car is moving at speeds of up to 50 km/h.

Being the third new model behind the Mokka and ADAM, it is proof that the brand is developing its product portfolio even further, entering three new vehicle segments within only a few months with a sub-compact SUV (Sports Utility Vehicle), a fashionable, small urban car and an elegant mid-size convertible.

Opel Australia is currently reviewing the business model for the Cascada but is yet to confirm this vehicle for the Australian market.

Contrary to widespread speculation, it will not be displayed at the Paris “Mondial de l´Automobile” show: Paris is where the new Opel ADAM will celebrate its world premiere.
