First Look at the Avenir Sub-Brand, with 2018 Buick Enclave Avenir

We finally get a look at the new Avenir luxury sub-brand from Buick, with the release of the all-new 2018 Buick Enclave Buick Avenir. Buick announced the Avenir sub-brand last fall, after the release of the award-winning concept car; of which Avenir draws its name. Avenir stands for future, and from the looks at the new Enclave Avenir, the future looks bright for Buick; Evonik Acrylite bright! 

Debuting with the 2018 Buick Enclave, the new Avenir sub-brand represents the highest expression of Buick luxury. Avenir offers unique styling cues and an extensive set of standard features and premium materials throughout the vehicle. New and versatile functionality, interior spaciousness, and intuitive technologies build on the Enclave’s established popularity. 

Aside from the unique dark-tented, 3D mesh grille, pearl-nickel 20" wheels, and a more athletic appearance one of the most notable features on the Buick Avenir model - that will gradually transfer over to a full range of Avenir models - is the SUV's Evonik Acrylite head lamps. The Evonik Acrylite exterior lighting is a Buick-first and will illuminate the road ahead with the power of more than 100 LEDs. 

Why has Buick chosen the Enclave SUV to launch the new Avenir sub-brand? Buick says the Enclave embodies the essence of the brand. It’s a beacon for the modern, attainable luxury Buick stands for and is a natural place to launch Avenir. 

"Buick-first" is a term that you'll hear a lot in the near future. Not only is the new Avenir sub-brand something totally new from Buick, since early last year Buick has introduced seven new models: including the recently released Regal hatchback and Regal Wagon. 

By the fourth quarter of this year, Buick will have the freshest, most modern line-up of vehicles in the industry, with every model being less than 21 months old! Along with this fresh line-up of beautiful vehicles, Buick has maintained its tradition of excellence, and racked up a long list of highly desired awards and accolades; including Kelley Blue Book's most luxury brand award! 


Enclave Avenir highlights:

• Available intelligent AWD with active twin-clutch rear differential and Buick-first switchable AWD help improve control and efficiency. 
• Standard five-link rear suspension and available continuously variable real-time damping (CDC) offer a refined, isolated ride. 
• A standard 3.6L V-6 engine with stop/start technology, Buick-estimated 302 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque is paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission. 
• Tow capacity of up to 5,000 pounds is more than enough to tow a typical 21-foot sport boat. 
• Buick-first Evonik Acrylite lighting technology provides a distinctive light signature. 
• Buick-first Rear Camera Mirror is standard on Avenir. Avenir-exclusive 3-dimensional mesh grille, badging, pearl nickel 20-inch aluminum wheels and luxurious interior materials are standard. 
• Standard hands-free power-programmable liftgate with a Buick tri-shield logo illuminates the ground below the hidden sensor and power-folding third row. 
• It accommodates seven passengers comfortably and offers more cargo volume behind the first row than the Acura MDX, Audi Q7 and Infiniti QX60. 
• It has an all-new body structure for safety, strength and mass efficiency, plus 17 radar, camera and ultrasonic sensors when fully equipped. 
• Avenir model comes standard with extensive active safety, connectivity and luxury features for a simple and convenient buying experience.

2017 Buick Envision - the New SUV Safety Leader!

In the last decade Buick's engineers have put a special emphasis on safety. In fact, in the last two consecutive model years, every Buick model has earned five-star overall vehicle score from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). And now, the 2017 Buick Envision has earned a spot among the rest of them. 

The 2017 Buick Envision has earned a 5-Star Overall Vehicle Score for Safety rating by NHTSA.

From the beginning, Buick designed the Envision with safety, quality and craftsmanship in mind. The Buick Envision is a nimble SUV with its smart size and ingenious technologies. It utilizes a combination of five cameras and 13 radar and ultrasonic sensors around the vehicle to help offer owners peace of mind behind the wheel. 

The 5-Star Overall Vehicle Score for Safety rating by NHTSA is not the only safety accolade the 2017 Envision has earned. Earlier this year, the 2017 Buick Envision, with optional front crash prevention and high intensity discharge (HID) headlights, was named a 2017 Top Safety Pick+ by Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). 

Earning top ratings from some of the industry’s most important safety organizations confirms that the 2017 Buick Envision was crafted to an exceptional degree of refinement. The top safety rating also further builds the Buick brand’s reputation as a leader in quality and safety. 

Buick's newest compact SUV, the Buick Envision, arrived at our Broken Arrow dealership early this summer; since then, we've helped drivers from cities all across Oklahoma discover the luxuries the new Envision has to offer. There's Ferguson Buick Envisions driving around Tulsa, Bixby and Norman. We've even sold the Buick Envision to people outside Oklahoma; places like Abilene and Temple, Texas. There's even a Buick Envision, with a Ferguson sticker, driving around the streets of New Orleans!

Is There a New Wagon Coming From Buick - the Regal Wagon?

On this blog, we spend most of our time discussing news that relates to Buick and GMC that happens here in America; more specifically here in Oklahoma. For the moment we turn our attention, across the Atlantic, to Europe. 

It's no secret that Americans and Europeans have different taste in vehicle preferences. Trucks, for example, are much more popular in Oklahoma and the United States, than in Europe. 

There's one vehicle that our European counterparts have the privilege of driving that we don't - the Buick Regal Wagon. Now, in Europe, it's not known as the Buick Regal. In England, the vehicle is known as the Vauxhall Insignia, and in the rest of Europe as the Opel Insignia. Both the Vauxhall Insignia and the Opel Insignia have an available wagon design option. 

Europen version of the Buick Regal Wagon

Even with the apparent contrasts between American drivers and European drivers, a wagon version of the Buick Regal sounds quite appealing. It could also soon become a reality! There's good rumor, that GM will soon be bringing the Buick Regal Wagon to American shores. 

Here at Ferguson Buick GMC, in Broken Arrow, we welcome the news. We think our Oklahoma shoppers would love the option of the Buick Regal as a wagon! So, to GM we say bring the wagon over! 

We want to know what you think! Would you like to see a Buick Regal Wagon offered in the United States? Tell us below, in the comment section.


Updated 03/21/17

Buick is indeed bringing a Regal wagon to the United States! In an article published by Automotive News [1],  spy photos have been captured of the upcoming 2018 Buick Regal wagon!

General Motors trademarked the name "Buick Regal TourX" in 2015. Will the new Buick wagon be called the Buick Regal TourX? We shouldn't have to wait long to find out the answer. Buick is scheduled to reveal the new 2018 Buick Regal on April 4, 2017; just ahead of the New York Auto Show.

2017 Buick Cascada Touring Now Offered in New 'Sport Red' Color

Oklahoma has a deep connection with the color red. The name Oklahoma is actually derived from two Choctaw words, "ukla" meaning person and "homma" meaning red. Foreigners can easily tell they've landed in the sooner state, thanks to Oklahoma's instantly recognizable red clay soil. Plus, Oklahoma is the only state that has rose rock. Rose rock has a red coloring and petal-like shape, similar to that of a rose. And then, of course, there is OU. Fans of the University of Oklahoma are passionate about one very specific shade of red - crimson. 

Buick released the all-new Cascada convertible early this year. The convertible has been an instant hit with our Oklahoma shoppers who want to live life wide open. However, when it was first released, the Cascada was only available in half a dozen color options; and red was not one of them. We knew a lot of our Oklahoma shoppers were interested in the Buick Cascada, but wanted it in their favorite color. It looks like Buick has answered those calls! 

 If your dream is to drive a red convertible, the latest Buick Cascada Sport Touring color — Sport Red —can make that a reality. Buick says the new color option is being offered in response to customers who asked for a shade of red. Buick's Vice President of Global Sales & Marketing, Duncan Aldred, stated the following, "We’ve heard it from customers all year: ‘What a beautiful car. Can I get it in red?’ Well yes, now you can!" We expect the new color to be a big hit for our Oklahoma customers. 

Along with the sport red exterior color option, Buick is giving the new Sport Touring Cascada an exclusive Dark Effects Package. The Dark Effects Package features as body-color trim across the decklid, and gloss-black finish on the convertibles 20" wheels, mirror caps, and grille. On the inside, the package adds new red stitching that contrasts the seats, doors, and instrument panel. The Dark Effects Package is paired exclusively with the new Sport Red exterior color. 

This new addition to the Cascada portfolio offers a modern style statement with blacked-out exterior trim and red interior stitching, all at a price that leaves room in your budget to explore the open road. 

The new Sport Touring Cascada in Sport Red with the exclusive Dark Effects package is the second unique expression added to Buick’s convertible lineup this year. Earlier this fall, the 2017 Cascada Sport Touring launched with a vibrant True Blue exterior color, an exclusive new 20-inch wheel design and sporty interior trim. 

Buick Announces New Avenir Sub-Brand

Buick is on a roll! The Detroit brand has recorded the highest year-over-year growth for major auto brands selling vehicles in both China and North America. Buick's global sales grew 23% year-over-year. More recently, Buick, became the first American automaker to break into the top three "most reliable brands" on Consumer Reports' Auto Reliability Survey. 

Buick's resurgent appeal hasn't skipped over Oklahoma. Ferguson Buick GMC, in the Tulsa-metro, has seen a 205% increase in new Buick sales over the last four years! Meaning a growing set of new Oklahoma drivers are discovering the unexpected and attainable luxury Buick has to offer. 

Buick is more than happy to ride its recently achieved success into the coming future, but has no plans on letting up. While Buick is synonymous with luxury, it's about to push the boundaries even further with the launch of a new sub-brand - the Avenir line. 

It's that focus on the future that even inspired the new sub-brand's name (Avenir is French for future). Buick first introduced the Avenir name on its concept sedan at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show. The Buick Avenir was an instant success, winning many awards and accolades, including EyesOn Design Award for the “Best Designed Concept Vehicle.” 

Buick's Avenir sub-brand will be essentially what the Denali brand is to GMC. It will be the top luxury trim level of the Buick line-up, including the Buick LaCrosse, Buick Enclave, Buick Encore, Buick Envision, Buick Regal, and Buick Cascada. 

Avenir vehicles will add distinct touches to Buick’s timeless, sculpted designs, including unique trim finishes, large-diameter wheels, and a three-dimensional mesh grille. Buick's Vice President of Global Sales & Marketing, Duncan Aldred, says the Avenir sub-brand will be "The highest expression of the luxury experiences we’re delivering now and in the future.” 

The Buick Avenir Concept flagship sedan

Ferguson Buick GMC expects to see the Buick Avenir line do quite well here in Oklahoma. Currently, about a quarter of our new GMC sales are Denali models. Denali is the pinnacle of what it means to be Professional Grade, and if GM's engineers are able to recreate that feeling of top-level quality in the Avenir models, as they have in the Denali line, there should be a loyal fan-base of Avenir owners in the near future. 

Ferguson Buick GMC is excited to bring the high-end, luxury experience of the Buick Avenir line to Northeast Oklahoma, and the Tulsa Metro! Additional Avenir details and product specifics will be announced later. Follow Ferguson on Facebook and be the first to know when we are able to bring the Avenir line to Oklahoma!

Ferguson Buick GMC Takes Home Only Buick Mark Of Excellence Award in Oklahoma

Every year, General Motors recognizes top-performing Buick and GMC dealers, across the country, with the Mark of Excellence Award. The Mark of Excellence award symbolizes the very pinnacle of success for Buick and GMC dealers. According to General Motors, "Mark of Excellence dealerships are role models for other dealers." 

Last year Ferguson Buick GMC was awarded the GMC Mark of Excellence award. This year, GM has presented us with the Mark of Excellence award for our Buick brand! 

2016 marks the first time Ferguson Buick GMC has been awarded the Mark of Excellence for our Buick brand. More impressive, is the fact that Ferguson Buick GMC was the only Buick/GMC dealer to receive the Mark of Excellence award, in the state of Oklahoma! 

Ferguson Buick GMC continually strives to deliver the highest level of customer service in the Tulsa-metro. Achieving the Mark of Excellence award for a second year in a row proves our customer-focused strategy is resonating with our customers.

Ferguson Buick GMC is the fastest growing GMC dealer in America and the number #1 dealer in the Tulsa Area! There are three big reasons to buy from Ferguson Buick GMC: 1. SELECTION - nobody has a better selection of new and used vehicles than Ferguson Buick GMC, 2. LOCATION - conveniently located minutes away from downtown Tulsa - off the Broken Arrow Expressway - across from the Bass Pro Shop, 3. THE DEAL - nobody beats a Ferguson deal!

2017 Buick Encore | Coming Later This Fall

In the past, we've demonstrated the comfortability of the smaller sized Buick Encore. While the Buick Encore is technically labeled as a small crossover, Ferguson Buick GMC's Jack Jewell, who is 6' 6" tall, shows us, in the video below, how Buick's engineers managed to keep the compact size of the Buick Encore, while still being able to comfortably fit adult sized passengers.
 

The Buick Encore remains the top choice for customers seeking premium features and dependability coupled with timeless design. Buick hopes to build upon the rapid success of the Encore, with the soon-to-be released, 2017 Buick Encore. 

The newest Encore strengthens the appeal of America's most popular small SUV with more refined styling and new connectivity technology - including available Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility. The new 2017 Buick Encore is highlighted by a new premium interior and new front-end appearance. It will be offered in five trim levels: Encore Premium, Encore Leather, Encore Convenience, Encore Sport Touring, and Encore base. 

EPA estimates on the 2017 Buick Encore will be announced at a later date. Ferguson Buick GMC is expecting to bring the 2017 Buick Encore to the Tulsa-Metro later this fall.

Buick Envision Coming to Oklahoma in 2016

Adele's new hit song, "Hello" has garnered popularity across the states; claiming the #1 spot on numerous American music charts. As the pop song continues to climb the charts, Americans are also saying hello to CUVs - crossover utility vehicles. Sales for subcompact crossovers are increasing across the board. Buick, American's oldest active automobile maker, is attracting many of these new CUV customers with their lineup of beautiful sculpted, luxurious crossovers. 

Buick's current crossover lineup - the Buick Enclave and Buick Encore - represent 60% of Buick sales in North America. The CUV craze hasn't skipped over Oklahoma. Here at our Tulsa Metro dealership, our new Buick crossover sales represented over 70% of our new Buick sales in 2015. Buick looks to reinforce their dominance in the SUV and CUV market with the introduction of the Buick Envision. 

Although the Buick Envision will be a new CUV offered in America, it's not a brand new model for Buick. The Buick Envision has been in sell in China since 2014. It was awarded Motor Trend SUV of the Year in China and has accumulated nearly 130,000 sales so far this year. Thankfully, Buick will soon be bringing the Buick Envision to American soil. 

With an overall length of 183.7 inches and an overall height of 66.8 inches, the Buick Envision is perfectly slatted between the Buick Enclave and Buick Encore. Buick has already begun preparations for its release in the United States. The Buick Envision was designed, engineered and tested in Michigan as a world-class luxury crossover. 

Both the Buick Encore and Buick Enclave are award winning crossovers. They both won Kelley Blue Book's '5-Year Cost to Own Award' - the Encore in the Luxury Compact SUV/Crossover category and the Enclave in the luxury Full-Size SUV/Crossover category. And, the vehicles are winning the hearts of our Tulsa area shoppers. One recent Ferguson Buick GMC customer, Deborah had the following to say about her new Buick Encore, "I bought a 2015 Buick Encore and love it!" Another Ferguson Buick GMC customer, Terry, recently purchased a new Buick Enclave and exclaimed, "I Absolutely love my new 2015 Buick Enclave. Ferguson delivered! They stepped up on pricing and service. Ferguson Buick GMC is worthy of repeat business." 

With the success we've seen of the Encore and Enclave, we expect the new Buick Envision to quickly become a hot seller here in Oklahoma. We're excited to bring the new Buick Envision to Oklahoma! The Buick Envision is expected to arrive at our Broken Arrow dealership next summer - summer 2016. 

Buick Envision highlights include: 

• Active noise cancelation 
• Available cooled front seats

Ferguson Buick GMC Helps Raise over $4,600 for Local Tulsa Area High School

Many schools across the country have faced increasing budget cuts. These budget cuts have affected schools' extracurricular activities and sports programs. As an integral part of the community, Ferguson Buick GMC has set out to help raise funds for a local Tulsa area school. For the second year in a row, Ferguson Buick GMC partnered with Coweta High School, in Coweta, Oklahoma. 

Ferguson Buick GMC held another successful "Buick Drive For Your Students" event at Coweta High School. During Buick's "Drive For Your Students" event, Buick dealerships across the country are given the opportunity to team up with a public high school to host a one day test drive event to raise money for their school. 

This year, similar to last year, we set up our test drive event in the front of Coweta High School. We brought over half a dozen new Buick and new GMC models for participants to take test drives in. We brought the new 2016 Buick Enclave, the 2016 Buick LaCrosse, along with the 2016 GMC Acadia and the ever-popular 2015 GMC Sierra pickup. 

The Buick Drive For Your Student event works like this: for every person who comes and takes a test drive, Buick donates $10 to the school. If the event exceeds 100 test drives, Buick will double their donation to $20 per valid test drive. As an extra bonus, each participant that chooses to receive communication from GM will be eligible for the GM Educator’s Discount. Our goal, this year, was to raise $10,000 for Coweta High School! 

We didn't quite reach our goal, but thanks to everyone who came out and took a test drive, we were able to raise $4,660! 

Fergie Bear with Coweta High School Prinicpal, Gary Ellis

We're honored to have the opportunity to raise money for the students, teachers, and parents of Coweta High School! Coweta High School is in the process of completing many renovation projects. The school is building a new band facility, new wrestling room, and making changes to the football stadium. We feel the money raised during the Buick Test Drive For Your Students will be put to good use at Coweta High! 

FERGUSON BUICK GMC WOULD LIKE TO THANK
COWETA HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPLE, GARY ELLIS, & EVERYBODY WHO PARTICIPATED IN A TEST DRIVE IN ORDER TO MAKE THIS DONATION POSSIBLE!

Buick Enclave VS Infiniti QX60

2016 Buick Enclave vs 2015 Infiniti QX60

Infiniti has only been around for a little over 25 years. Buick, on the other hand, is General Motor's oldest brand, and America's oldest active automaker. With over 115 years under its belt, Buick has more knowledge and expertise than the much younger Infiniti. As Mike Huff states in the video, that equates to "more research, more [advanced] technology, and a better quality vehicle overall." 

Even with its age and maturity, Buick continues to attract new customers, and for good reason. Buick models offer more luxurious interiors and thoughtful personal technologies, along with responsive-yet-efficient performance over competing sedans and SUVs. Our new Buick customers get all the above advantages all wrapped in a more bold, uniquely sculpted exterior design. 

One of the first observations Mike points out is the amount of safety features the Buick Enclave has over the Infiniti QX60. In the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's frontal crash test, the 2015 Infiniti QX60 scored a 4-star, while the 2016 Buick Enclave scored a 5-star. 

2016 Buick Enclave

Another advantage the Buick Enclave has over the Infiniti QX60, that Mike points out, is technology. With the Enclave you get both brains and beauty. Mike walks you through some of the innovative technologies the award-winning Enclave offers: seat memory, heated steering wheel, industry first front center air bag, rear cross traffic alert, lane departure warning, and available OnStar 4G LTE with built-in Wi-Fi hotspot. 

Available OnStar 4G LTE with built-in Wi-Fi hotspot provides additional connectivity, and transforms the Buick Enclave into a mobile hub. OnStar 4G LTE can connect up to seven devices through a simple, seamless high-speed connection. 4G LTE is the most current and fastest mobile data network – 10 times faster than 3G and 100 times faster than the previous generation of OnStar hardware. 

Mike also mentions the Buick Enclave's list of awards and accolades, which include: Kelley Blue Book's 5-Year Cost To Own Award, Kelley Blue Book's 2015 Brand Image Award, and a 5-star NHTSA Overall Vehicle Score Safety Rating. 

Winner in the technology segment, winner in the safety category, and winner in overall design; it's easy to see why the Buick Enclave takes the cake over Infiniti's QX60. As Mike Huff states, "It's got everything the Infiniti QX60 has and then some!" Simply put, the Enclave is the better choice for luxury, SUV shoppers.

Recent Rain in Oklahoma Doesn't Scare the 2016 Buick Cascada

The saying goes, "April showers bring May flowers."

Well, we think somebody needs to tell Mother Nature it's May and she can ease up on those rain showers - at least here in Oklahoma! 

It has rained so much and so fast recently here in Oklahoma, several Oklahoma towns have experienced extreme flash flooding - turning streets into creeks. 

According to Weather.com, last Wednesday's record breaking rainfall was "the wettest May day on record." [1] 

So with Mother Nature unleashing unprecedented amounts of rain, would now be the time to purchase a convertible sedan? Buick thinks so! 

2016 Buick Cascada

For the first time in 25 years, Buick is set to release a new convertible - the 2016 Buick Cascada. The 2016 Buick Cascada is expected to go on sale at our Broken Arrow Buick dealership in early 2016. 

If the recent Oklahoma weather has caused you to doubt purchasing a new 2016 Cascada, don't fret!

While Cascada means waterfall in Spanish, Buick ensures you'll stay dry when the rain comes pouring down. How does Buick guarantee you'll stay dry in the new 2016 Buick Cascada? 

ANSWER - along with the 2016 Cascada’s convertible top that is engineered to be weatherproof in extreme conditions, each and every Cascada will be put through a rigorous water test at the Buick assembly plant. 

Check out the video below to see the 2016 Buick Cascada in action!

Triple Times the Crown - Buick Continues Climb to Top

Not to toot our own horns or anything, but we're pretty proud of the fact that we're Tulsa's Buick headquarters. While Ferguson Buick GMC is Broken Arrow's #1 customer voted dealer, Buick continues to attract new customers with its lineup of award-winning luxury sedans and crossovers. One of the reasons we're so proud to carry the Buick brand, is because the new Buick vehicles found on our lot continue to rack up nationally recognized awards and accolades.

Buick recently earned top honors from three distinct automotive expert sources:
1.) Buick took top honors as one of the most dependable brands in the 2015 Vehicle Dependability Study by J.D. Power, 2.) Buick was recognized as a Top Pick in Consumer Reports' 10 Top Picks of 2015, and 3.) For the second consecutive year, three Buick models were among the winners in Kelley Blue Book’s 2015 5-Year Cost to Own awards.

Buick outperformed many luxury automakers in the J.D. Power 2015 Vehicle Dependability Study. The 2015 study tracks 2012 model year vehicles in the third year of ownership. Buick was 34 percent more reliable than industry average. The Buick LaCrosse and Buick Enclave shined in the study. Buick LaCrosse was recognized as J.D. Power’s segment leader in the Large Car segment. And the Buick Enclave was ranked second in the Midsize SUV segment.

Quit possibly even more impressive then taking home J.D. Power's award for dependability, Buick became the first domestic automaker to take home a top 10 spot on Consumer Reports magazine’s annual auto brand report! According to Consumer Report, to be a top pick "Each model must rank at or near the top of its class in our overall road-test score." Their auto experts evaluate performance, interior quality, reliability and safety. Buick’s spunky midsize car, the Regal, shined through in this report. The Buick Regal was crowned a 2015 Top Pick in the sports sedan segment.

And to top it all off, Buick proves the quality found on their cars is second to none, as three Buick models took home Kelley Blue Book's 2015 5-Year Cost to Own award for the second consecutive years. KBB.com’s 5-Year Cost to Own information is developed using Kelley Blue Book® Residual Values to calculate depreciation costs. The winners of this prestigious award goes to the Buick Verano, Buick Enclave, and the Buick Encore.

There you have it! We've got a clear champion in the luxury automotive world; and the winner's Buick! Buick's triple crown achievement is a testament to the fact that Buick is the leadier in reliability, quality and performance.

Don't believe us? Take a thorough test-drive in one of our Buick award-winning models. We have all these champion vehicles right here at our Broken Arrow dealership; revved and ready to go! We have the whole new Buick lineup: the Regal, Verano, Enclave, Encore, and LaCrosse.

Aside from the fabulous lineup of vehicles on our showroom, Ferguson Buick GMC also has the expertise of Buick certified technicians in our service and parts departments to keep your new Buick running like a top from day one of ownership.

Buick's New Convertible: The 2016 Buick Cascada

According to statistics from the Tulsa International Airport [1], Tulsa has a yearly average temperature of 60.8 °F. If that’s not perfect weather a convertible, we don’t know what is. We’ve been waiting for GM to bring a convertible back into the Buick or GMC line-up for some time now. It looks like Buick has answered our calls! Are you ready Oklahoma? Get ready to enjoy summer like never before, get ready for the all-new 2016 Buick Cascada. 

For the first time in 25 years, Buick adds a convertible to the new Buick line-up. 

 “The new, 2016 Buick Cascada is a beautiful, engaging convertible that represents the very best of the brand’s global development practices,” said Duncan Aldred, vice president of Buick. “It’s a car that will delight customers with its fun spirit and help drive the momentum that’s fueling Buick’s success.”

One look at the Cascada, and you’ll know you’re about to experience the pure fun of driving. The 2016 Buick Cascada is a dynamic, stylish convertible that uses innovative powertrain and chassis technologies to complement the driving experience. Attention to detail and purposeful technologies elevate your expectations of just how satisfying a convertible can be. Balanced proportions and an elongated silhouette create a beautiful and luxurious profile. 

Cascada means waterfall in Spanish. But if you’re worried about an unexpected waterfall to come down from sky and ruin your nice drive, no need. When it comes to dropping the top on a whim, it lowers in only 17 seconds at speeds up to 31 mph, keeping you dry and comfortable. When it’s up, superior thermal and acoustic insulation contribute to driving comfort. The soft-top lets you enjoy a surprisingly quiet interior. As soon as the rain dissipates, drop the top with a flick of a switch and continue enjoying the great outdoors. When lowered, the top folds neatly and completely beneath a hard tonneau behind the rear seats, giving the car a pure open-air aesthetic. 

The 2016 Buick Cascada features Buick’s innovative OnStar 4G LTE with Wi-Fi hotspot, which can also be found on 2015 Buick models, including the 2015 Buick LaCrosse and 2015 Buick Encore. 

4G LTE is the most current and fastest mobile data network - 10 times faster than 3G and 100 times faster than the previous generation of OnStar hardware. And with OnStar, it also offers stronger, broader coverage than smartphones on the same network and it's easy to use: If the vehicle is on, the connection is on. It provides a mobile hub for drivers and passengers to stay connected. The hotspot is on whenever the vehicle is on and comes with a three-month/three-gigabyte data trial, after which customers can purchase additional data.  

The new 2016 Buick Cascada will be powered by a 1.6L turbocharged engine rated at 200 horsepower (149 kW). With more than 100 horsepower per liter, it’s one of the most power-dense engines in the segment. Direct injection and variable valve timing complement the turbo engine’s performance with efficiency. It is backed by a six-speed automatic transmission. Power from the turbocharged engine is translated into driving enjoyment via the innovative suspension system, which employs the sophisticated HiPer Strut front suspension pioneered on the Buick LaCrosse and Buick Regal. 

The Cascada’s 2+2 configuration offers comfortable room for four adults. 

“The Cascada’s design blends the suggestion of speed with sophisticated and uncompromising details,” said Holt Ware, Buick exterior design director. “Most convertibles are designed from existing coupes or sedans, meaning stowage of the top is an afterthought, but not this Buick. It looks handsome and has a premium appearance when the top is lowered – and a perfect, seamless profile when it’s up.”

Live life wide-open with the all-new Cascada convertible. Buick has planned production of the new Cascada for early 2016. Be the first to drive the 2016 Buick Cascada in Broken Arrow and Oklahoma. Follow our Ferguson Buick GMC blog or like us on Facebook, to found out when Ferguson Buick GMC brings the 2016 Cascada to Green Country and to Oklahoma!
