In just under nine years, a total of 3,779,289 copies ran off the line.

History 

The cadet E was the last compact car from Opel in Germany with the traditional name Kadett. The successor model was named Astra (Astra F), while Vauxhall already sold the cadet in the UK under this name. In South Africa, the Astra F was further sold under the name Opel Kadett F.

At its market launch in August 1984, both the three or five-door hatchback versions, as well as the five-door station wagon. The latter was also offered in the three-door version as a van without rear side windows. The fifth generation of the Opel Kadett E came in 1984 as the successor to the Opel Kadett (D) on the market. It was offered with gasoline engines from 1.2 to 2.0 litres and a capacity of 40 to 115 kW and diesel engines with 1.5 to 1.7 litres and a capacity of 40 to 60 kW.

badged as the Vauxhall Belmont in the United Kingdom, launched at Frankfurt 1985. This was awarded the 1985 Semperit Irish Car of the Year in Ireland. There was a station wagon called the "Caravan" available, with either three or five doors. In South Africa, the Kadett notchback was sold as the Opel Monza, along with a convertible. This replaced the Opel Ascona.

A convertible version was also available, for the first time in 1987, built by Bertone of Torino/Italy, bringing it to line with competitors, such as the Ford Escort and Volkswagen Golf. For the 1988 model, capacities were raised to from 1.3 to 1.4 litres.The convertible variant of the Kadett E produced at Bertone in Turin was from August 1991 and equipped in weaker engine variants with the body details of the cadet GSi.Due to production problems of the successor Astra Cabrio, the cadet convertible was produced until May 1993, while the production of the other models was discontinued in July 1991. Shortly before the end of production there were only special models of the cadet convertible.

In the fall of 1986 a new 1,998 cc engine replaced the 1.8 hitherto used on the GSi and Vauxhall Astra GTE in many markets, although the 1.8 continued to be sold in some places. In 1988, a 16-valve twin-cam version was developed for a high-performance GSi/GTE model, yielding 156 PS (115 kW) in non-catalyzed form, six less horsepower with a catalytic converter fitted.

While criticized for a lack of refinement, the GSi 16V was also lauded as the most powerful car available in its class at the time. Aside from the "16V" badging, it could be told from an eight-valve GSi by its twin rectangular exhaust pipes.

The Kadett E has been seen as a grey import in the United Kingdom, but it is quite rare compared to its badge engineered sister, the Vauxhall Astra Mk II. It was never officially sold in Britain, and by 1989, General Motors was only marketing the Vauxhall brand in the United Kingdom, although Astras assembled at Vauxhall's Ellesmere Port plant were exported to the rest of Europe badged as Opel Kadetts. There was also a van version with a raised roof, called the Opel Kadett Combo.

Other markets

The car was also sold under the following names:

  • Vauxhall Astra (hatchback and station wagon, United Kingdom)
  • Vauxhall Belmont (Saloon, United Kingdom)
  • Bedford Astravan and Astramax (caravan as van or combo, Great Britain), from 1990 Vauxhall Astravan / Astramax
  • Opel Monza (sedan and convertible, South Africa, not to be confused with the larger Opel Monza)
  • Chevrolet Cadet (Brazil)
  • Chevrolet Ipanema (station wagon, Brazil)
  • Daewoo LeMans (South Korea, Eastern Europe, Near and Middle East)
  • Daewoo Racer (South Korea, Eastern Europe, Near and Middle East)
  • Daewoo Nexia / Cielo / Heaven / Fantasy / Pointer
  • Daewoo Nexia II (Uzbekistan)
  • Isuzu Optima (1985-1992, Nigeria)
  • Asüna SE / GT (1991-1993, Canada)
  • Passport Optima (1989-1991, Canada)

The Kadett E was introduced in Brazil as the Chevrolet Kadett, but the three-door station wagon (later also five-door) was called the Chevrolet Ipanema. Brazilian production commenced in April 1989, with the Ipanema being added in October of the same year. From 1992 Brazilian Kadetts/Ipanemas received fuel injection. Brazilian cars received either 1.8 or 2.0-litre petrol fours.

In the early 1990s, South African Kadett GSi's were further upgraded based on their success in production car racing and initially 500 special units were built as road cars for homologation purposes. This was a minimum requirement for entry into the Stannic Group N races. They went against BMW's 325iS (A 2.7 litre homologation special from BMW). They featured more aggressive 276-degree camshafts made by Schrick with 2 different settings for timing overlap (110° and 107°), revised intake and exhaust modifications (4-in-1 branch manifold and freeflow exhaust), Irmscher spring kit, modified engine management system by Promotec, a limited slip differential developed by Andre Verwey and special Aluett 7Jx15-inch ET35 alloy wheels, they were nicknamed the "Superboss" and held the world record for the most torque per litre (114 Nm per litre) for a naturally aspirated car until 2009 being beaten by the Ferrari 458 (117 Nm per litre). After the first 500 units were produced, many more were built to satisfy public demand.

The Kadett E formed the basis of the Daewoo LeMans (later known as the Daewoo Cielo, Racer and Nexia) in South Korea, Nexia being the hatchback version), which was sold in the United States and New Zealand as the Pontiac LeMans, and in Canada (initially) as the Passport Optima. LeMans sales ended in 1993. The Nexia is still being produced at UzDaewoo plant in Asaka, Uzbekistan. The Cielo was last being produced at Automobile Craiova, a semi-independent (from GM) plant in Craiova, Romania. Their license expired in the fall of 2006.
