2018 Buick Cascada review

1. Refined experience 

Before you even get behind the wheel, one look at the 2018 Buick Cascada is enough to make you smile. The exterior design is sleek, stylish, and sculpted from front to back. It only gets better when the roof comes down, which you can do with just one button press at speeds of up to 25 mph. Want to feel the wind in your hair and soak up the sunshine as you drive along? There’s nothing quite like it, and it’s an experience you can have whenever you want behind the wheel of the 2018 Cascada.  

2. Four-seat capacity 

The 2018 Buick Cascada combines soft-top joy with a spacious cabin. You get seating for four passengers, with an impressive 82 cu-ft of passenger volume, 42.2 inches of front seat legroom, and 32.8 inches of rear seat legroom. You even get a strong selection of comfort features as standard, including dual-zone automatic climate control and leather upholstery, plus eight-way-power heated front seats. 

3. Impressive cargo space for a convertible 

As you and your passengers all get to enjoy the benefits of a drop-top, there’s also plenty of cargo space available for everyone’s luggage. Even with the roof down, you get 9.8 cu-ft of cargo volume in the trunk. This expands to 13.4 cu-ft with the roof up — easily enough for daily needs. If you require some more space, particularly for long or awkwardly-shaped items, the rear seats are 50/50 split-folding as standard, allowing items to fit in the passthrough space.  

4. Smooth and refined ride 

Complementing the open-air driving experience, the 2018 Buick Cascada focuses on a smooth ride, allowing you to enjoy every mile with the roof down. The chassis and suspension are set up to smooth out any bumps, and with the triple-layered fabric roof up, the cabin remains quiet even at highway speeds. The standard 1.6L turbocharged engine and six-speed automatic transmission combination produces 200 horsepower and provides smooth acceleration for highway cruising.  

5. Strong selection of standard features 

The feature list overall on the 2018 Buick Cascada is stacked, and with only two optional trims on offer, a large proportion of that feature list is included on all models. Standard features include adaptive xenon headlights, rear parking sensors, a seven-inch touchscreen display, and a seven-speaker sound system. The OnStar system with available 4G LTE and Wi-Fi hotspot is also standard, with the Cascada Premium trim adding extra tech features such as automatic wipers, forward collision warning, and lane departure warning.
