Overview

The 2018 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 $37,070, 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 8 stunning colors, with the Rioja Red Metallic being a particular favorite of ours.

Buying Advice

The 2018 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 automatic headlights and some important safety features such as forward collision warning, lane departure warning, front and rear parking sensors along with a navigation system.
