The new four-seat open top model from Vauxhall and its sister company Opel named the Cascada, will be priced from £23,995 OTR when it reaches UK showrooms this April.
Vauxhall says the soft-top convertible represents a superb value for money citing the price of its nearest competitor in the segment, the Audi A5 Cabriolet, which starts at £31,785 or nearly £8,000 more.
In all fairness, the base Audi sports a more powerful 168hp (170PS) 1.8-liter turbo petrol, whereas the entry-level Cascada makes do with a 1.4-liter turbo petrol churning out 138hp (140PS), but then again, even the most potent and expensive version of Vauxhall's cabrio with a 192hp (195PS) twin-turbocharged diesel is lower priced at £29,080.
Besides these two engines, the Cascada is also available with a new 1.6-liter Turbo petrol churning out 168Hp (170PS), and a 2.0-liter turbo diesel with 163Hp (165PS).
Vauxhall's convertible model comes in two trims, with the entry level SE featuring 18-inch alloy wheels, LED tail lamps, aux-in/USB, and other comfort amenities as standard, while the upper-level Elite adds leather trim, heated front seats and steering wheel, and front fog lamps. Detailed pricing follows below.

wowww..
opel and audi ??
indeed, who'd want a boring VW-Audi compared to that beauty?
LOL Carscoop!
This doesn't even compete in the same class with Audi A5, not to say about quality, engines and so on.
The Cascada is basically an Astra and it competes with the compact-hatches based cabriolets, like Golf, Megane, and if you want A3 Cabrio, that's why it's nearly 8000GBP cheaper :)
This is going to be a nice Buick, Reatta would be a god name.
I agree, Buick should gain this model to appeal to the crowd that would go to the Chrysler 200 convertible. This looks tons better.
HOW 2.0 165 PS automatic gets 0-60mph = 8.9s, but 2.0 195 PS in 0-60mph = 9.6s ????????
Younger customers is what Buick desperately needs.
