Opel Ascona C

1981 – 1988 — GERMANY

The Opel Ascona is a large family car that was manufactured by Opel from 1970 to 1988 across three generations. It was initially developed as a rear-wheel-drive vehicle but transitioned into a front-wheel-drive J-car derivative. The Ascona was created to address the growing size of the Opel Rekord, fitting into the D-segment in Europe. Named after a Swiss lakeside resort, the Opel Ascona has a history dating back to a special edition of the Opel Rekord in the 1950s and a locally adapted version of the Opel Kadett B in 1968. However, it was the Opel Ascona A that was officially launched in 1970 as the first mainstream Opel model to bear the name, breaking away from Opel's tradition of using German naval rank designations. Key Points: 1. The Opel Ascona was a large family car produced by Opel from 1970 to 1988. 2. It went through three generations, starting as a rear-wheel-drive vehicle and transitioning into a front-wheel-drive J-car derivative. 3. The Ascona aimed to fill the gap in Opel's range as the Opel Rekord grew larger. 4. The car was named after a lakeside resort in Switzerland. 5. The Opel Ascona A, launched in 1970, was the first mainstream Opel model to carry the name, shifting away from previous naming conventions
