2016 Buick Cascada Review

Buick has yet again proved itself to be among the most innovative automakers in the business. Although the all-new 2016 Buick Cascada has only been on the market for a short time, it has already made its presence felt. The sleek convertible’s fun-to-drive character and signature styling enable it to stand out from the competition. On the inside, you will be surrounded by a number of luxurious features. Unlike some modern-day convertibles, the new Cascada allows up to four passengers to enjoy riding with the top down.

The Cascada’s turbocharged Ecotec engine provides a satisfying performance on the road. Buick tuned it to develop a potent 200 horsepower and 207 pound-feet of torque. You can always look forward to the Cascada’s effortless acceleration. When attempting to merge onto a fast-moving interstate, the six-speed automatic transmission quickly drops down to a lower gear. With a gas mileage rating of 27 mpg, the Cascada proves to be an efficient cruiser on the open highway.

Equipped with Buick’s innovative HiPer Strut suspension, the Cascada sits low like a true sports car. This means that you can expect the convertible to offer exceptional handling. Fortunately, the Cascada’s poised driving dynamics doesn’t compromise its ride quality. A set of performance tires further enhance the car’s traction.

The Buick Cascada certainly has the looks to match its sporty performance. When driving along the street, the convertible demands a great deal of attention. Adaptive xenon headlamps and a stunning set of 20-inch wheels come standard. At the touch of a button, the soft-top roof quickly folds down into the trunk area. Some of the dynamic paint colors include Carbon Black, and Summit White.

To ensure that the new Cascada remains one of the best values in the class, it has been loaded with an inspiring list of standard components. Featuring a built-in Wi-Fi connection, the award-winning OnStar communications system provides driving directions and on-demand roadside assistance. You can also take advantage of Buick’s Intellilink interface, which can work in harmony with your smartphone. Some of the other conveniences include a touch-screen display, satellite radio, and heated front seats.

Over the years, Buick has been noted for placing an emphasis on passenger safety. You can rest assured that the new Cascada will offer outstanding crash protection. A powerful ABS system helps you to stop quickly in emergency situations. Positioned behind the backseat, an advanced roll bar provides extra protection in the event of an accident. While even the base version features a rear-view camera, Forward Collision Alert and a lane departure warning system come equipped on the top-of-the-line Premium trim.
