We can now confirm for anyone considering buying a Cascada a starting price of $33,990, including destination. There’s only one configuration available, though there is a Premium model starting at $36,990, also with destination, which adds a few extras.
All 2016 Cascadas come with a turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine that delivers 200 horsepower and 206 pound-feet of torque (221 lb-ft with overboost). The only transmission is a six-speed automatic, and drive is to the front wheels only.
Even with the base model, you get quite a lot of standard kit. The items include a 7.0-inch touchscreen, navigation, a seven-speaker sound system, a backup camera, Buick IntelliLink connectivity, remote start, heated leather seats and steering wheel, 20-inch wheels, and rear park assist.
