The 1988-1995 Vauxhall/Opel Cavalier, a compact car produced by General Motors' European operations, marked a significant step forward in the brand's history. Replacing the aging Chevette, the Cavalier introduced a more modern design, refined driving experience, and a range of engine options to cater to different needs. The Cavalier was built on the T-car platform, shared with various other GM models, which contributed to its affordability and wide appeal. Despite its European roots, it was also offered in several global markets under different names, including the Chevrolet Nova (North America), Holden Nova (Australia), and Daewoo Cielo (South Korea). The Cavalier was available in various body styles, including a three-door hatchback, a five-door hatchback, and a four-door saloon, offering greater flexibility and choice to customers.

Under the hood, the Cavalier featured a range of petrol and diesel engines. The petrol options included a 1.3L, 1.4L, 1.6L, and a 2.0L, while a 1.7L diesel engine was also available. These engines were paired with either a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic transmission, delivering a comfortable and reliable driving experience. The Cavalier stood out for its relatively spacious interior, providing ample room for passengers and their luggage. Its simple yet robust design, combined with its competitive price point, secured its place as a popular choice among families and everyday commuters. The 1988-1995 Vauxhall/Opel Cavalier, though generally praised for its practical nature and reliability, was also criticized for its somewhat bland styling and lack of performance compared to its rivals. Despite these shortcomings, it remained a successful model for GM, selling well throughout its production run.
