Liberty Buick GMC is fired-up about the All-New- 2018 Buick Regal vehicles. The 2018 Buick Regal is riding in with a bang, with not just one remodeled vehicle, but three brand new 2018 Buick Regal vehicles. The three latest models incorporate innovative designs and styles that will appeal to many different tastes. Summer is coming to a close and the all-new Buick vehicles will be on the lot and ready to take for a spin before you know it.

The three new Buick Regal vehicles come in different shapes, styles, designs, and performance capabilities. The Buick Regal introduces two fresh sporty vehicles and a first-ever wagon-style car. For those who are sports junkies, to speed lovers, and adventure-getters, Buick has developed three vehicles that are certain to catch your fancy.

The Buick Regal TourX

The wagon style is in for 2018 and ready to make a statement! For the upcoming new year, Buick is kicking off with the first-ever 2018 Buick Regal TourX. While it may sound strange that station wagons are back after the influx of sports vehicles and minivans, the Regal TourX is changing any outdated perceptions that station wagons are uncool. By updating the suburbanite legend into a luxury retro vehicle in 2018, Buick is eager and sure to please loyal wagon fans and introduce the millennial generation to the charm and nostalgia of the station wagon phenomena.

The 2018 Buick Regal TourX is anticipated to hit Liberty Buick GMC’s showroom next year with high market interest, as its completely new model released by Buick. This station wagon is definitely a one of a kind and is ready to compete with other roomy, family vehicles on the market. The Regal TourX changes the face of Buick with a sleek and elegant look of a car designed for adventure and road-trips. From the bold exterior of a station wagon to key Buick features like the roof and cross rails above the vehicle, this new design has competitors blown away! The novelty of the station wagon combined with the exterior of this never-before-seen Buick is what makes the TourX so daring. Key features include:

• The Body Style – The body style of the new Buick differs from other Buick models. It’s a station wagon with a front engine, all-wheel drive, and measures up at 196.3 inches long, significantly larger than other station wagons on the market. This vehicle is giving key competitors like the Audi A4, Volvo V60, and BMW 3 a run for their money!
• Distinctive Wheels – The standard 18-inch aluminum wheels are designed for both style and effectiveness. They provide a high and low contrast that makes them a great fit. No matter what vehicle color you choose, the wheels will stand out.
• Hands-Free Liftgate – The hands-free liftgate makes it easy to load, unload, and access gear even when you are busy and your hands are full. To open the liftgate, just wave your foot under the door. To make this even easier, the Buick has a tri-shield logo that illuminates the ground below the sensor.
• Cargo Space – A big selling point of the Regal TourX will be the generous storage in the wagon, where there is 33 cubic feet of space behind the rear seats, making it just as spacious as small SUVs. And if you’re in need of even more space, folding the rear seats down will up the storage to 74 cubic feet of space.
• Roof and Cross Rails – Since this Buick is designed for adventures, it comes standard with roof rails. The roof rails make it easy to travel with bikes, a travel carrier, kayaks, and other larger items.
• Signature Headlights – The 2018 Buick Regal TourX is equipped with signature Buick headlights, standard with LED lights and auto-leveling technology. This technology helps enhance visibility while on the road. The vehicle also has an attention-grabbing arrival sequence to shine when you exit the vehicle.

The Buick Regal GS

The Buick Regal GS puts a sporty twist on the original vehicle that increases its excellent performance and dramatic design. With an improved transmission and 51 horsepower more than the previous model, the Regal GS is all about dynamic performance; its race-inspired design creates a thrilling, smooth ride that will take everyday commutes to the next level. The top five features include:

• Intelligent All Wheel Drive – The GS comes standard with the intelligent AWD technology. This includes a dynamic twin-clutch to provide peace of mind for undesirable road conditions and also provides torque and acceleration to keep every ride meeting your consistently high-performance expectations from Buick vehicles.
• GS Exclusive Performance Seats – These high-functioning seats combine luxurious comforts with a sporty design. Not only allowing the driver and front passenger to enjoy massaging, heated, and ventilated seats, the seats can also be adjusted to personal comfort preferences by tweaking the side bolsters, four-way lumbar support, and extendable thigh support.
• The Engine – The Buick Regal GS has a 3.6-liter V6 engine with 310 horsepower. This engine provides power to make every drive exciting. With improved vehicle control and nine-speed automatic transmission, the V6 engine provides efficient and refined performance.
• Sport-Injected Chassis – This feature provides an excellent, urban sport design that creates outstanding performance. The vehicle is designed with a lower center of gravity to make turns smooth and quick. Entertaining, sports-focused and highly responsive to the driver, the GS does not sacrifice performance for design at all.
• Sportback Opening – The trunk is designed with sportback rear access that opens up to a large space. The vehicle also has the option to fold down the back row of seats for an increased cargo area.

The 2018 Buick Regal Sportback

The All-New Buick Regal Sportback is just like the beloved Buick Regal, but with even more awe-inspiring innovative features. If you liked the 2017 Buick Regal, you will fall in love with the 2018 Buick Regal Sportback. Top aspects of the vehicle include:

• Quiet-tuning Technology – Enjoying a quiet ride in a family vehicle may seem rhetorical, but the Sportback allows you to do just that. With noise cancellation blocking out road noise, you and your passengers will be able to have pleasant conversations and enjoy the drive. Moreso, the noise cancellation will prevent unwanted modification of how sound and music comes through your vehicle’s speakers, enabling your drive to have clear sound when you want it.
• Turbo Engine – The 2.0 liter 4-cylinder turbocharged engine is designed to help you achieve the perfect combination of power and efficiency. The engine delivers excellent performance that will not disappoint with up to 250 horsepower.
• Advanced Transmissions – There are two excellent transmissions available in the Sportback. The FWD model has a 9-speed Automatic Transmission and the AWD has an 8-speed Automatic Transmission. Each option allows for unique riding experiences.
• Built-in Wi-Fi – The option to have access to all of your electronic devices through Wi-Fi is available with the OnStar 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot. You can connect up to 7 devices to the hotspot at any time. Wi-Fi access is a great way to keep your passengers entertained and happy during road trips.
• The Look – The all-new Buick Regal Sportback has a sophisticated exterior design. The new design is elegant and bold with chrome accents, dual-exhaust chrome tailpipes, and dynamic sculptural lines.

With 2017 flying by, you will be looking forward to 2018 for when these highly anticipated and unique Buick Regal vehicles enter Liberty Buick GMC’s lot. Give Liberty a call today at (866) 442-0871 to learn more about each model and find out their arrival dates.

There is a standard for what makes a vehicle good for adventure. Whether you plan on thrashing through unpaved trails or winding your way through the mountainside, you are sure to want a vehicle with a high level of performance, comfort, features, safety, and fuel economy. At Liberty Buick GMC, we believe that we have the perfect car for your next adventure – and at an unbeatable price! Come check out the all-new 2017 GMC Yukon.

We love the 2017 GMC Yukon! It adds a bit of luxury but at the same time a rugged toughness to every morning commute into Charlotte and every vacation experience. You can drive it anywhere – no matter how many passengers or how of long of a trip you take, you are guaranteed a pleasant experience behind the wheel. Just wait until you see how well it handles. There’s nothing like its roomy interior, the seemingly endless array of features, the high safety levels, and excellent fuel economy. Here is a breakdown of each:

Performance

Under the hood of both the Standard and XL models of the 2017 GMC Yukon is a 5.3-liter, V-8 engine that offers 355 horsepower and 383 pounds-feet of torque. This is a ton of power to have in a base model. In fact, power of this level is usually reserved for the higher-end models of many other SUVs. To take it a step further, the Yukon Denali model provides even more power: 6.2-liter, V-8 engine with 420 horsepower and 460 pounds-feet of torque!

In the 2017 GMC Yukon, there are two impressive pieces of technology that make this a high performing SUV. First is the direct injection. This allows fuel to be injected without hindrance, which makes for a seamlessly smooth ride. You will notice that when you hit the gas in the GMC Yukon, that there is no hesitation or stutter. It doesn’t jerk you around or take a minute to get moving. The reaction is immediate and smooth. The second piece of technology that aids in performance is what’s called cylinder deactivation. This saves fuel and creates a better driving experience. Whenever you find yourself in low-load situations, or if you are driving at low speeds, this advancement will actually shut down half of the cylinders so you are not incorporating power you don’t really need. The transition to shutting down these cylinders is seamless (you won’t even notice it happening), and it makes your drive quieter and softer because your RPMs won’t be running out of control. The best way to put it is that the GMC Yukon’s performance is made to handle a variety of different driving situations, making it fit for any adventure you can dream up.

Comfort  

Due to the slick performance technologies, as well as specialized exterior door seals, the interior of the 2017 GMC Yukon is incredibly quiet. So quiet, in fact, that you can hold conversations at normal volume and never have to worry about mechanical vibrations or outside disturbances interfering.

Inside there are soft-touch materials placed throughout its rather large dash and armrests. The seats themselves are wide and cushioned to the max. There is plenty of room to stretch and relax from any seat within, which does well to keep passengers from fighting over the “good” spot. Unlike other SUVs, even previous Yukon models, the second and third rows feel just as impressive as the front seats. To make things convenient, the new GMC Yukon’s second and third rows easily fold down at the press of a button – so you don’t have to stress about the laborious task of reconfiguring the interior so you can haul a large piece of furniture. Even without folding seats down, there is plenty of storage space. These factors do well to make your journeys, not only memorable, but relaxing and peaceful as well.

Features

The 2017 GMC Yukon is a true family SUV. That being said, it is fit and ready for more rugged adventures as well. What’s great about the new Yukon is that you can decide which model is best for you.

There is a more family-friendly model in the SLE. This comes with 18-inch alloy wheels, a backup camera, an 8-inch infotainment system equipped with Apple CarPlay, a Bose audio system, automatic climate control with separate rear controls, and tinted windows. It also comes standard with cloth seats, but you can always upgrade if leather is preferred. If you need more features for you and your family to choose from, there are plenty more add-ons to consider. You can always opt for a power liftgate, automatic dimming mirrors, and navigation, just to name a few.

If you desire something a bit more advanced with a little more luxury, there is the SLT model. This comes standard with everything in the SLE, plus heated seats in the two front rows, ventilated front seats in the very front, and leather upholstery. Also included are power-folding second and third rows, a proximity key, and a heated steering wheel. You can also add a rear-seat entertainment system, navigation, and a sunroof for little cost.

There are many more upgrades and add-ons to consider, but it’s best to try them out in person. When you come to test drive the new Yukon at Liberty Buick GMC, not only will you be able to see everything in action, you will also find each Yukon model at an incredibly low price!

Safety

Federal regulators report that the 2017 GMC Yukon earns the top score of five stars for frontal and side impacts. It also scores a three out of five for its rollover rating, which is a great score for such a tall vehicle. Combined, the new GMC Yukon earns a four-star rating, something the GMC family is very proud to boast.

Here is just a quick list of a few of the issued safety features:

• Rearview Camera.
• Six Airbags. Plus a front center airbag for models with front bucket seats.
• Head-Up Display. This feature relays important information to the driver by displaying messages in direct line of sight so the driver does not have to turn and look away from the road.
• Vibrating Driver’s Seat. This makes the driver aware of potential safety hazards happening around the vehicle.
• Lane Departure Warning.
• Automatic Emergency Braking.
• Adaptive Cruise Control.

Depending on the model of Yukon you choose, some of these safety features come standard and others can be added on, which adds to the new Yukon’s sense of adaptability.

Fuel Economy

Even though it operates from a powerful V-8 engine, and despite the fact that just a few years ago the Yukon was rated poor in terms of fuel economy, the 2017 GMC Yukon is surprisingly fuel-efficient.

Both the direct injection and cylinder deactivation help to save on gas, and if you opt for rear-wheel drive you can get up to 16mpg city and 23mpg highway (19mpg combined). For such a large and powerful machine, 19 combined is not bad at all. If you go all-in, the Denali offers 15 in the city and 22 highway, which is hardly different than the standard model. Sure, a big engine in a big SUV will use extra in gas, but the 2017 GMC Yukon proves it doesn’t have to drain your wallet. Little shortcuts, such as the type of injection used and the utilization of deactivation of unused cylinders helps greatly in GMC’s endeavor to keep trips to the gas station as infrequent as possible.

No matter what your idea of adventure is, the 2017 GMC Yukon has you covered. Its smooth and quiet ride, paired with expert comfort, performance, and safety set you and your passengers up for great fun. Come to Liberty Buick GMC today and find your Yukon at the best possible price!

In a decade filled with recalls and scandals among many prominent car manufacturing companies, Buick and GMC have managed to not only keep their heads above water, but they have also been able to make some impressive moves. With soaring sales and incredible reviews, it’s hard to ignore what they have to offer.  Liberty Buick GMC offers incredible specials and deals.

Over the past few years, Buick and GMC have managed to hit top sales and impress buyers. What makes them so different from all the others? Here are just a few reasons to take a second look at what both companies have been producing over the past few years:

• Something New and Something Redone

Over the past five years Buick has managed to completely overhaul its entire lineup of vehicles. The veteran car company took a classic that has been around longer than most other sedans, the Buick Regal, and successfully turned it into a luxurious, sturdy, and powerful machine. Something many other car companies are still struggling to produce in a sedan. Buick has also created something new and enticing in the Encore, a compact SUV. This sporty ride provides a new face for Buick, something brighter and more vibrant. If Buick has lacked in distant years with marketing themselves as a competitive car company, it sure doesn’t show now. Buick is not only in the game, they are up front helping to lead the charge.

GMC has done much the same over the past few years. Only they have been able to play into their own hand a bit more with the Sierra truck. From its very creation (which reaches as far back as the early 1960s!) it was a huge hit. What GMC has managed to do is capitalize on something good by constantly keeping it updated with the latest technology, comfort, and high performance capabilities. And it doesn’t hurt that GMC’s SUVs are fan favorites as well. The GMC Yukon SUVs and GMC Sierra trucks alone have managed to carry GMC far. If you just look at the number of trim levels and add-on features these two beasts carry it’s mind-boggling.

• Expert Advertising

Once Buick completed their remodeling of products it became time to let everyone know what they had done. To do this they came out with commercials, which actually poked fun at their former selves. Surely you remember them. Fun music playing in the background to let us know not to take this too seriously. Then some brief cellphone dialogue where one person is talking to a friend while they try to find each other in a parking lot filled with other SUVs and cars. The one in the Buick says something like, “I’m in the Buick,” and the other responds, “but I don’t see a Buick.” Meanwhile, they have been facing one another the entire time and the Buick driver honks the horn, the other enters the car, and we all have a little laugh. But really, you know what we’re laughing at? The fact that Buick would have the guts to do a commercial like this. It is somewhat shocking. Seriously, what other car company would dare poke fun at its former self while at the same time reveal its new creations? Buick, that’s who. And that worked out well for the company. It got everyone’s attention, and guess what. We like what we see. America likes the new Buick.

As for GMC, they’ve only had to keep doing what they do best, portray the GMC Sierra as America’s truck. And it’s not just a portrayal. Watch any recent GMC Sierra truck commercial and you will see and hear stories of family men and women who want the best for their families and friends. People who want to keep the good life going by doing as little harm to others as possible. And what common thread do these American dreamers have in common? Yep, they all drive GMC Sierras. GMC is able to make bold assertions in their marketing and get away with them because they have made one of the boldest trucks on the road. The fact is, both Buick and GMC have won car and truck drivers over. We like that they don’t take themselves too seriously, but at the same time they make some of the best driving vehicles in the world. It’s tough not to respect that.

• Dealers Who Care

It’s safe to say there has been a shift in recent years for car dealerships to shake off the sales vibe and gravitate towards a more personal feel to the car buying process. But guess what, Buick and GMC dealers have already been doing this. Customer satisfaction has always been number one for Buick and GMC dealers, and it shows. Just come in to Liberty Buick GMC and see for yourself. We pride ourselves on how much we can help the customer find what he or she wants and needs rather than how many people were convinced to buy something. If a customer has a pleasant experience at a dealership, and if the vehicle purchased performs at top levels for an extended period of time, that customer will always come back. And encourage others to do so as well. It’s a way of thought that works and Buick/GMC do it best.

• True Confidence

GMC has every right to be confident, so there’s really no surprise there. The accolades the company has received over the years, for more than just the Sierra, could stand up against any other car company out there. They simply build tough, reliable vehicles. And they’ve been doing it for as long as the company has been around. And that’s quite a long time.

Buick, on the other hand, is a little different. Because they needed to completely change their brand, this could be looked at as a sign of weakness. Obviously, something was not right if they had to change things up on such a major scale. Moreover, before the big overhaul, Buick was known more as the old person’s car. They just weren’t popular to a wider, younger market. But despite all of this, Buick has come out boldly with a new product that appeals to the older crowd, as well as the younger. The company’s incredible sales and continued commitment to excellence provide nothing but confidence for this company, as it has positioned itself right between high-end workingman’s vehicle and luxury sedan.

No matter how you cut it, Buick and GMC is pretty impressive. It’s not just the vehicles they make, it’s the thought and care that goes into every detail of the entire process. They choose to be honest and forthright in what they do. There are no scandals, no pretending to be something they are not. And that’s the same type of operation being run at Liberty Buick GMC. We are here to serve you. And that means honesty and expertise from start to finish. Come in and see us today at Liberty Buick GMC. Let us get you into a brand new Buick or GMC. You’ll be glad you made the choice to car shop with us!

This compact SUV combines comfort, safety, and good value for your money. Whether you’re cruising through uptown, teaching your teenager to drive, or taking that sleepy toddler on a ride in a whisper-quiet cabin, the 2017 Buick Envision in Charlotte is the perfect compact SUV-crossover to fit all of your family’s needs.

At a glance:

Just at a glance, the Envision packs numerous luxuries into the vehicle, aiming for the safety and comfort of its passengers. With higher trims of the Envision, consumers will see even more of Buick’s latest technology for its conscientious drivers and satisfied passengers.

• 5 seats
• Keyless vehicle
• 252 HP
• MPG:22 CITY
  • 29 HWY
• New base engine
• Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
• 8-inch touch screen
• Rearview backing camera
• 4-G Wi-Fi hotspot capability
• New Teen Driver active safety feature

Exterior:

As beautiful as it is reliable, the Envision will fit perfectly into the urban atmosphere, combining sleek design with functionality. The Envision offers 7 exterior colors:

• Ebony Twilight Metallic
• Bronze Alloy Metallic
• Chili Red Metallic
• Bronze Alloy Metallic
• Galaxy Silver Metallic
• Summit White
• Midnight Amethyst Metallic

It’s worth noting that paint colors in exception to Summit White are premium extra-charge colors.

The Envision’s wheels are 18”, 10-spoke polished aluminum, with P225/60R18 all-season blackwall tires. You’ll appreciate the hands free open and close liftgate, luggage rack, and roof-rails for packing extra cargo.

An ideal crossover SUV, the 2017 Buick Envision is a compact vehicle perfect for a growing family in the city.

Interior:

There’s no argument that the Envision is a comfortable ride, but the interior is also stylish and functional. The Envision is spacious for all five seats, including passengers in the backseat seats with plenty of legroom and headspace. The front seats are well equipped with excellent materials in the upholstery, heated seats, and a clear view of the road ahead. The passenger compartment has a small glove box, but a tray in the dashboard and a generous center console bin. Ventilated front seats and heated back seats are available in the higher-end trims of the Envision.

The contemporary and glossy wood trim is clean and appealing, and exhibits a high-quality feel. The dual touch-sensing climate system panels on the dashboard enable you quick access to seat heating and ventilation. Buick’s IntelliLink infotainment system works from an 8-inch touch screen, with navigation, radio display, smart-phone capability (i.e., Apple CarPlay and Android Auto), and a number of other features.

In particular: Apple CarPlay and Android Auto enable you to sync smartphone features and functions with the IntelliLink infotainment system. This is an important feature for those who desire easier access to your phone’s apps and information, navigation, as well as hands-free messaging and decreased off-road distractions. Drivers can use Siri or Google to make calls, send/receive messages in the Envision, and control music (via the touchscreen as well). These features complement the OnStar 4g LTE connectivity Wi-Fi hotspot, which provides for up to 7 personal devices to ensure that its passengers are safe and connected on the go.

The back seats and cargo are just as impressive; unlike many similar compact SUVS, the rear-seat space provides an equally pleasant amount of room and storage. With comfort for all passengers in mind, even the middle rear-seat has a flat floor space for the passenger’s legs.

Taking a closer look: The back seat also includes rear-climate control, a 3-prong power outlet, and dual USB ports to keep your passengers content and charged.

The Envision did not leave out their smaller passengers either. This vehicle keeps younger passengers in mind with lower child-seat anchors on the back of the rear seats. This keyless vehicle alerts you when keys are left on the seat or in the car, and child safety locks are included as well. This kid-friendly vehicle is overall a very safe and comfortable choice for families.

Need more room for cargo? For an SUV, the cargo area is rather small. However, Buick’s maximizes the accommodation of people or cargo with the ability to slide the rear seat forward and back. The hands-free lift gate and low lift-over height is ideal for loading and unloading heavy stuff.

Performance:

Heavy for it’s size at a minimum of about 4,000 pounds, the Envision is equipped with a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine. The Premium and Premium II trim levels deliver a turbocharged 2.0 liter 4-cylinder engine with higher horsepower and torque, as well as all-wheel drive. This engine provides smoother and quicker acceleration and gear changes when you need more power on the road.

Furthermore, the turbocharged engine option has an idle-stop system that will shut off the engine when at rest in traffics or intersections to conserve fuel. In Charlotte’s prime time traffic, this is a wonderful feature to have.

The handling of the Envision on the road is far from a chore; the steering is level, the brakes respond accurately, and the suspension keeps the ride quiet and smooth. For those needing a quick-reaction time in the urban uptown of Charlotte, the Envision delivers and at a decent gas mileage too, hitting 23 MPG in the city and 29 MPG on the highway.

If you’re looking for a more powerful turbocharged engine, the Envision’s top two trim levels deliver, but they also come along with a price jump from a mid-ranged $30,000 to upper $40,000.

Safety:

Large side mirror and front windows provide notable visibility to both the driver and passengers in the Envision. While the rearview mirror does not offer a consistent clear view through the smaller back window, the rear-backing camera and park-assist sensors make their use known with thoughtful, efficient technology to the driver’s aid.

New to the Buick Envision, Teen Driver active safety technology provides programmable settings for parents, and allows them to receive driving reports of their teenage drivers. For parents lending out their Envision for a teenager’s first independent spin, this safety feature provides parents with the supervision and perhaps even a bit of peace-of-mind as their new driver hits the road alone.

Beyond teens, Buick offers the opt-in Smart Driver Program that monitors driving habits and collects data that can be used to obtain car insurance discounts.

The Envision received a 5-star overall crash-test rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), ensuring the protection of all of its occupants. Among other excellent safety ratings,

Choices:

There are four different trim options for the Buick Envision that encompass preferences and price ranges. Four-wheel drive is standard and all-wheel drive is optional. The Preferred trim is a superb SUV choice that won’t break the bank, where you will not feel like the basic trim is basic at all; it’s as value-packed as it is luxury-packed.

But, if you’re looking for more, then Buick delivers. Each trim includes the luxuries of the previous ones, and you’ll find in the Premium and Premium II trims (starting at $42,430) that upgraded turbocharged engine makes a great difference in the vehicle’s power and efficiency.

Preferred trim: $35,780

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 4^th 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 4^th 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 4^th 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 4^th 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.
