  • Astra, Cascada and Insignia will join Holden's lineup

    Fans of Opel in Australia will see the Cascada debuting there and in New Zealand next year, together with the Astra and Insignia.


    Holden's ongoing commitment to sourcing the best vehicles from around the world took an important step forward with the announcement that three European-sourced vehicles will join Holden's lineup in the first half of 2015.

    The Cascada, Insignia and two versions of the Astra are all on their way Down Under from Opel in Europe next year.

    The Cascada is a two-door convertible with a 1.6-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine and choice of a six-speed manual or automatic.

    The Astra will be available as the three-door GTC with a 1.6-litre turbo four and six-speed manual or automatic, or in hardcore VXR (OPC) guise, with a 2.0-litre turbo four and a six-speed manual.

    Finally, the Insignia VXR (OPC) four-door sedan will feature a 2.8-litre turbocharged V6 with a six-speed automatic and all-wheel drive.

    The Australian-market power figures or pricing for the cars have not been disclosed, so any differences compared to their European counterparts are still unknown.
