The Vauxhall Kadett, produced from 1984 to 1991, marked the third generation of this popular compact car, and it was a significant step forward for Vauxhall. The E-series Kadett, as it was known internally, was a departure from its predecessors, adopting a sharp, angular design that reflected the trends of the time. This new aesthetic, coupled with a focus on practicality and value, made the Kadett a strong competitor in the European market. The model range was comprehensive, offering a variety of body styles, including a three-door hatchback, a five-door hatchback, a station wagon (known as the Caravan), and even a sporty GSi variant. Powertrains ranged from economical 1.2-liter petrol engines to more powerful 1.8-liter units, alongside a reliable 1.6-liter diesel option. The Kadett E was a critical and commercial success for Vauxhall. It was praised for its refined driving dynamics, comfortable interior, and spacious practicality. The GSi version, in particular, garnered acclaim for its sharp handling and sporty performance, making it a favorite among enthusiasts. The Kadett E also introduced a number of innovative features, including a pioneering anti-lock braking system (ABS) option, advanced suspension technology, and a range of safety features that were uncommon in the segment at the time. Its production lifespan saw a number of updates and revisions, including a facelift in 1988 that brought a revised grille and interior design. The Kadett E was ultimately replaced by the Astra in 1991, but it left a lasting legacy as a stylish, affordable, and dependable compact car that helped solidify Vauxhall's position in the European market.
