Buick Cascada Performance Overview
Buick’s Cascada occupied a brief place in the brand’s lineup, with production in 2016 to 2016 and a single U.S. model-year footprint focused on open-top touring rather than outright acceleration. Across 3 verified tests spanning that one year, every recorded result came from the turbocharged 200-hp gasoline four-cylinder configuration, giving the model a narrow but consistent performance profile. The range ran from 8.3 seconds to 8.9 seconds in 0-60 testing, with an 8.7-second average and quarter-mile results averaging 16.73 seconds at 85.1 mph.
Because the Cascada’s recorded history is confined to one year, its performance story is essentially the launch specification carried through unchanged. The quickest published run was the 2016 Premium Convertible at 0-60 in 8.3 seconds, which also set the model’s best quarter-mile of 16.5 seconds at 85 mph. Other 2016 Premium Convertible tests returned 8.8 and 8.9 seconds to 60 mph, showing modest variation around the same mechanical package. With no later generations, hybrid variants, or electric versions in the data, the Cascada stands today as a short-run, gasoline-only convertible with a compact set of independently verified acceleration figures anchored by the 2016 Premium Convertible’s 8.3-second benchmark.
