Holden has added the Cascada to its range. Like three-door Astra which has just been introduced in Australia, it’s essentially a rebadged Vauxhall / Opel model.
This four-seat convertible boasts a power-operated, triple-layered fabric roof that can be retracted at speeds of up to 30 mph (50 km/h). What’s more, heating for the front seats and steering wheel should help to maximise open-top driving time.
The Cascada is clearly a car with premium aspirations, because leather upholstery, cruise control, Bluetooth, satellite navigation and a DAB radio are all part of the standard specification too. A reversing camera plus front and rear parking sensors are also fitted, so low-speed manoeuvres won’t be too difficult (even with some fairly large roof-up blind-spots).
Marking the Holden Cascada’s arrival is a special Launch Edition. Just 50 examples will be built, and their additional equipment list includes power-operated and ventilated front seats, Nappa leather and 20” alloy wheels instead of the usual 18” items. Completing the package are bi-xenon headlights with LED daytime running lights, automatic levelling and high-beam assist.
There’s only one powertrain option, though. Both the regular Cascada and the Launch Edition feature a 167 bhp (125 kW / 170 PS) 1.6 litre turbocharged petrol engine that’s mated to a six-speed automatic transmission.
