The overview
The front-wheel-drive Cascada is a four-seat soft-top convertible. It's a well thought out convertible with a fully-insulated top and responsive handling. The ride is steady but can be a bit stiff due to the standard 20 inch tires. The leather seats are supportive but it's a long reach to access the touchscreen infotainment system, and the center dash is a mess of buttons. The power-operated fabric roof takes 17 seconds to open, and can be opened or closed at speeds up to 31 mph. Rear-seat access is made easier by front seats that power-slide forward. A partition in the trunk can be flipped to increase cargo room when the top is raised.

Behind the data
Latest source update: September 11, 2026
Vehicle summaries, specifications, pricing and ratings come from Consumer Reports vehicle records. Auto Guide groups these records by model and reported generation start year.
Available years are listed explicitly. Gaps do not imply that a model was discontinued. Prices are source estimates, not live offers. No first-hand road test by Auto Guide is claimed.
