Celebrate the 4th of July in Style with the New Buick Cascada
There’s
just something about riding in a convertible that spurs a feeling of freedom.
Whether it’s the wind whipping through your hair, or the presence of a
beautifully open sky above, there is no better way to celebrate the 4th
of July than driving in a brand-new Buick Cascada. What makes the Cascada your
best pick for a classy car with a convertible top is that Buick manages to add
an extra element of quality. The company’s only version of a drop-top
effortlessly provides a look and feel (mostly due to its roomy interior and
high-powered engine) of stability and control. In the
Cascada you are driving something that will
last, not only in performance, but in looks as well. And this reassurance and
reliability make the Buick Cascada your best choice for fun, summer drives.
A Brief History
The Cascada was first produced in America in 2016.
This is the first convertible made by the Buick Company since 1991, and focuses
more on personal luxury and performance. The goal was to create a modern
convertible capable of maneuvering and operating at much higher levels than
most other similar models on the market. And because of its expert
craftsmanship, the Buick Cascada has already, within the span of roughly two
years, become a direct competitor to other top-end luxury convertibles, such as
the BMW 4-Series and the Audi A-3 Cabriolet.
Take
a Closer Look
The intricate interior design, plus Buick’s signature
line-work around the exterior, create one smooth-looking sedan. And due to its well-placed
curves and edges, the Cascada looks smaller than what it really is. Its mass
weighs in at something like 4,000 pounds, and once you get moving down the road
this weightiness pays in. You feel secure, grounded to the surface yet at the
same time zooming down the road. The sturdy frame also keeps the Cascada from
any tire wiggling or body shaking when moving at high speeds. And that’s a big
deal in a convertible, because when you own a vehicle that has a drop-top, you
end up punching it a bit.
Under the hood of the Buick
Cascada is a 1.6-liter turbocharged inline-4 engine with
200-horsepower and 207 pound-feet of torque. That’s quite a mouthful, and quite
a hood full of power! And its 6-speed automatic transmission is perfect for
summer night cruises to go watch fireworks or even a stroll down some old
country roads.
The interior of the Cascada is roomy, comfortable, and
luxurious. The two front seats offer plenty of room and an elevated position.
For long trips the plush cushions provide maximum support, and because the
seats are positioned a bit higher than most other convertibles, you can see the
road easier in front of you. The back seats are surprisingly comfy and roomy
too, even if there isn’t as much room back there as in the front. And operating
the convertible top is quick and easy. Simply pull the lever on the console and
the top will open or close within 17 seconds. And you can do this while driving
at 31 miles-per-hour or less. There is also a single lever to roll up or down
all four windows at once in case you get caught in a quick summer rain and need
fast cover.
Some impressive features to the
Buick Cascada include leather-bound trim, a heated
steering wheel, remote start, rear-parking sensors, eight-way power front
seats, and a rearview camera. Upgrade to the Premium trim level and there’s even
more to celebrate with power-collision warning, lane-departure warning, front
and rear parking sensors, and automatic headlights. The Cascada’s front panel
includes a 7.0-inch display screen that holds, among many other impressive
devices, Buick’s famous Infotainment System. It also employs 4G LTE with a
built-in Wi-Fi hotspot, text-message alerts, and Siri Eyes Free compatibility.
The newest color options for the Buick Cascada include
Sport Red, Blue Metallic, Flip Chip Silver Metallic, Deep Sky Metallic, Toasted
Coconut Metallic, Summit White, Ebony Twilight, and Smoke Pearl Metallic.
Obviously plenty of options to choose from, and all showcase the excellent
line-work and overall shape of the sporty sedan.
Top
Reasons to Drive a Convertible
A fun 4th of July spin around town to find
a cool parking spot to watch the fireworks is perfect in a convertible. But
there are even more reasons to drive with the top down. Here are just a few:
·
It’s easy. Especially in the Buick
Cascada. It doesn’t take much to drop the top or even pull it back up. As
previously mentioned, in the Cascada it only takes a quick pull of one
easy-to-find lever to move the top in either direction. And you don’t have to
be at a complete standstill, which is nice if you change moods or experience an
abrupt weather shift.
·
You can see better. That’s right, when the
top is down in the Cascada you don’t have to worry that pesky blind spot
created from the roof support column in the back. This means easier parking,
fast lane changes, and a more relaxed driving experience.
·
Extra room. For the passenger in the
Cascada, once the top is down, it is encouraged to lean your seat back and
stretch out. Go ahead, throw those hands in the air. And for the driver, enjoy
the extra headroom. Not that the Cascada lacks at all in this area when the top
is on, but now your free to sit as tall as you like.
·
It’s an easy way to have fun. You can’t
deny it, there is just something about moving in a vehicle with the air coming
at you and sweeping across and through the interior of the car. It is
exhilarating, safe, and a quick way to place anyone in a good mood.
So, you are ready to enjoy the 4th of July
in your new Buick
Cascada. But, just before the big day arrives, here are a few
safety tips to make sure your holiday is perfect.
·
Wear sunglasses. It may go without saying,
but sunglasses are a must in a convertible. The glare, the wind…you get it.
·
Bring a hat. Always have a hat somewhere
in the car, even if you don’t plan on wearing it. You never know when the sun
will break out of the clouds or the wind will pick up. Having some way to
combat the effects of both makes driving easier.
·
Never leave your Cascada parked with the
top down. Besides the possibility of it being robbed or vandalized, you don’t
want the sun beating down on your plush seats and dash for hours at a time
while you are not moving. Plus, you never know when a bird will fly over
and…well, you know.
·
Have a jacket and gloves at the ready. It
might be sunny and hot this 4th of July when you take off, but the
weather can change at any moment. It’s nice to have layers and gloves available
for you and your passengers just in case a sudden chill moves through the air.
Regardless of where you plan to go this Independence
Day, make your journey in a brand-new
Buick Cascada. You will be glad you did.
