History

The Opel Cascada was introduced in 2013, succeeding the Astra H TwinTop. Engineered and styled in Germany, it was assembled in Poland, with engines produced in Hungary and transmissions imported from Mexico. This model was marketed under four General Motors brands: Opel, Vauxhall, Holden, and Buick, reflecting its international appeal. In 2017, Opel was acquired by the PSA Group (Peugeot–Citroën), which continued the production of the Cascada until 2019, when production ceased without a direct successor. (autoevolution.com)

Generations

The Opel Cascada was produced in a single generation from 2013 to 2019. Based on the Delta II platform, shared with the Opel Astra J, it was designed to provide a comfortable driving experience in all seasons. The model was marketed under various General Motors brands, including Opel, Vauxhall, Holden, and Buick, each offering specific variants tailored to their respective markets. (en.wikipedia.org)

Equipment varied by market, with options such as leather seats, a navigation system, and adaptive headlights. Exact specifications could differ based on local regulations and consumer preferences.
