===Export models=== In the [[United Kingdom]], the [[Vauxhall Cavalier]] badge was used on both [[sedan (car)|saloon]] and coupΓ© models from late 1975, which came out of the same factory in [[Belgium]] β the first Vauxhall to be built abroad. The front ends were different, featuring Vauxhall's trademark "droop snoot", as designed by [[Wayne Cherry]]. ;{{anchor|Chevrolet Ascona}} South Africa In [[South Africa]] there was a locally assembled version called the '''Chevrolet Ascona''', identical in many respects to the four-door Opel Ascona B. The Ascona came with a locally built 1.3-litre inline-four from the [[Vauxhall Viva (1963β1979)|Vauxhall Viva]]. A preceding upmarket version with the [[Vauxhall Cavalier]]'s longer front end was sold as the [[Chevrolet Chevair]], equipped with bigger engines of Chevrolet origins. The Ascona was launched in July 1978, and replaced the Vauxhall-based Chevrolet 1300/1900-series. It was available in De Luxe or S trim, with the S receiving a sportier treatment with a three-spoke steering wheel, tartan seat inserts, and [[Rostyle wheel|Rostyle]] rims.<ref name=CarZA0778>{{cite magazine | magazine = CAR (South Africa) | title = New models: Chevrolet Ascona De Luxe and 'S' | editor-last = Wright | editor-first = Cedric | volume = 22 | number = 7 | date = August 1978 | ref = DNLCV | page = 13 | publisher = Ramsay, Son & Parker (Pty) ltd. }}</ref>
