2016 Buick Cascada review

1. Sleek convertible style 

With its sculpted lines, flowing front grille, LED headlights, and sporty silhouette that looks great with the roof up or down, the 2016 Cascada has the kind of styling that turns heads on the street. You can lower the roof down at the touch of a button and at speeds of up to 31 mph. Not only does the 2016 Cascada look cool with the top down, but you also get to experience the joy of drop-top driving.  

2. Four-seater cabin under the fold-down roof 

Traditionally, you might associate convertible cars as being compact two-seater sports coupes, but with the 2016 Buick Cascada that’s far from the case. Inside, that sleek body is something closer to a midsize sedan. There’s seating for up to four passengers and there's surprisingly strong legroom — 42.2 inches in the front seats and 32.8 inches in the rear. So not only is there room for everyone to stretch out and relax, but you and your passengers can all enjoy the roof-down driving experience.  

3. Useful cargo space 

It’s not just your passengers who will have plenty of room in the 2016 Cascada — there’s more than enough space for their luggage, too. With the roof up, the trunk offers a decent 13.4 cu-ft of cargo volume. However, when the roof comes down, cargo space drops to 9.8 cu-ft — still very useful for a car of this type. Additionally, you can fold up the rear seatbacks to create a pass-through to fit longer items into the trunk, ideal for storing things like skis and surfboards.  

4. Feature list stacked with standard equipment 

To complement the spacious cabin and trunk, the 2016 Cascada also offers a generous feature list stacked top to bottom with tech and luxury equipment. There are two trim levels: Standard and Premium. This means that a significant amount of the listed features come as standard on all Cascada models. These include rear parking sensors, a navigation system, the OnStar^® system with available Wi-Fi hotspot, a seven-inch touchscreen display, and a seven-speaker sound system.

5. Smooth and comfortable ride 

To give you the best possible chance to enjoy the top-down driving experience, the 2016 Buick Cascada focuses on delivering a comfortable and supple ride. The suspension and chassis work to smooth out rough pavement, while the standard 1.6L four-cylinder engine produces 200 horsepower for smooth acceleration. To round out the relaxed experience, standard creature comforts included on every 2016 Cascada include leather upholstery, dual-zone automatic climate control, and heated front seats. You’ll enjoy every journey behind the wheel of the 2016 Cascada.
