Overall rating 4.5/5Loved for its spacious interior and dependable handling, the Cascada brings a practical edge to open-top motoring – perfect for drivers who want fun and functionality in one package. Cascada arrived in the UK in 2013, offering an affordable alternative to premium cabriolets. It slots between the MINI and Ford Mustang convertibles, with enough comfort and space to make everyday or long-distance cruising relaxed and reliable. Produced until 2018 with one main generation and several facelifts, the Cascada stands out for its full-size boot, usable rear seats, and low running costs. Key features include a swift electric fabric roof (which can open on the move), a range of turbocharged petrol and diesel engines, and reassuring build quality. It offers hearty value and real-world practicality among four-seat convertibles, making it rare but worth seeking out.
All Cascadas have four airbags, rollover protection bars, ABS, stability control, and ISOFIX child seat mounts. Depending on the trim, some models also feature lane departure warning, traffic sign recognition, and hill-start assist. The car is 43% stiffer than Vauxhall's Astra Twin-Top, providing a more robust bodyshell.
The Cascada was offered with a choice of turbocharged engines. Popular picks include a 1.4-litre or 1.6-litre petrol, and a 2.0-litre diesel. Engine availability will depend on the model year and trim – later cars received improvements for both power and efficiency.
Standard equipment is generous on the Cascada. You'll find Bluetooth connectivity, DAB digital radio, cruise control and air conditioning. There's also the possibility of front and rear parking sensors, heated electric sports seats and a wind deflector. The roof itself takes just 17 seconds to lower, which is handy for sudden weather changes.
Official figures suggest the Cascada’s 1.4 turbo petrol returns around 44mpg, while the 2.0-litre diesel can manage up to 54mpg (combined cycle). Real-world results vary, but all engines focus on balanced performance and economy.
Watch for proper roof operation, service history and general condition—especially around the seals and boot. A thorough check of the interior and soft-top for leaks or damage is wise, plus look for any marks on the dashboard plastics. For extra peace of mind, consider getting The AA Vehicle Inspection before purchase.
The Cascada uses proven Vauxhall engines and parts, with no widespread reliability worries. Regular servicing and roof care keep them running well. The convertible roof’s mechanism and seals need monitoring, but otherwise, Cascadas enjoy a good reputation for dependable day-to-day use and drop-top thrills.
