2017 Buick Cascada Premium

The Cascada is Buick's four-seat convertible, a soft-top cruiser that competes with the Volkswagen Eos and the now-discontinued Chrysler 200 convertible. It's a relaxed cruiser, happiest with the top down and the throttle light, though the ride is on the firm side for a Buick. The cabin is trimmed with soft-touch materials and heated front seats, and the rear seats fold flat to expand the small trunk. Standard tech includes a 7-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus a rearview camera and available forward collision alert. The 1.6L I4 makes 200 horsepower routed through a six-speed automatic, with enough torque for relaxed highway merging, and it returns 23 mpg combined.
