Overview

The 2017 Buick Cascada Convertible makes for an excellent contender in the compact convertible segment. With 3 trims on offer, the Buick Cascada has a base MSRP of $33,065, with prices going all the way up to MSRP $37,065, competing against more expensive rivals including the Audi A5 Convertible and the BMW 4 Series Convertible. Only a 1.6L turbocharged inline-4 engine is offered, mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. Together, they produce 200 horsepower and 207 lb-ft of torque. Accelerating from 0-60 in 9.1 seconds, the Cascada maintains a combined fuel economy of 24 MPG. Buick offers the Cascada in 7 stunning colors, with the Deep Sky Metallic being a particular favorite of ours.

Buying Advice

The 2017 Buick Cascada Convertible is a value-for-money option in its segment. There are three trims offered and we recommend getting the mid-level Premium trim. It adds a couple of features over the base trim including foglights, automatic wipers, safety features including forwarding collision warning, lane departure warning, front and rear parking sensors along with air deflectors for the front and rear seats, and a touchscreen navigation system.
