What is the Buick Cascada?
The Cascada is a compact four-seat convertible with a fabric roof, sold in the United States as an open-top Buick for the 2016–2019 period. It sits apart from the marque’s more familiar sedans and SUVs: this is a car for people drawn to open-air motoring while still wanting room for passengers. Its design came from General Motors’ European Opel operation, giving Buick a model with a distinctly European background.
The related Opel Cascada had a single generation, but the Buick market entry does not assign a generation name or years. The US listing covers four versions over the Cascada’s Buick sales run.
Engines and power
The US-market Cascada had a 1.6-litre petrol engine. The European Opel model was part of a broader family, but this US Buick listing describes only the petrol engine specified for its market.
How economical is the Buick Cascada?
The best combined EPA rating listed is 24 MPG. A separate lowest-consumption entry gives 9.8 L/100 km, labelled for petrol, diesel and hybrid versions, although the Cascada’s listed US fuel is petrol. EPA ratings use the United States test procedure. European WLTP or NEDC figures and Canadian 5-cycle results use different methods, so figures from those markets are not directly equivalent.
Where was it sold?
The listed market is the United States, covering 2016–2019 and four versions. That makes the Cascada a brief and distinctive chapter in Buick’s range: a European-derived convertible offered under the American marque.
