The Buick LaCrosse is an executive car that is now in its third generation and it is slotted as a little better than it’s more common sister the Buick Regal. Among its outstanding features is its inviting infotainment package consisting of dual USB ports, Apple and Android syncing capability, and a chic interface with sharp graphics. Just like the Buick Regal, it also has a rear spoiler but smaller wheels at just 18-inches.

The base package comes with spacious legroom and a large interior that rivals those of more established brands in its category. The LaCrosse has two engine options that are essentially a choice between raw power and fuel economy. Regardless of the engine option that you settle on, the car maintains its magic and charm as a properly fitted and elegant automobile.

The ambient lighting, keyless entry and heated front seats common among the Buicks is typical of the ISV. On three of the five trims, you have the option of an upgraded leather upholstery with impressive and elaborate coverage.

The car is a modern work of art fitted with a headliner, xenon headlights, lane departure alert, fog lights, forward collision alert, blind spot monitor and a head-up display. They also give them an automatic braking system and an adaptive cruise control mechanism. This machine packs a 3.6 litre engine that kicks up 304 and 264 pound feet torque.

Overview

LaCrosse is a fully fledged premium car laced with an upscale interior that gets accentuated by a chic blue light at night. Its screen may have a discomforting reach for drivers, but it compensates with a 4LTE Wi-Fi and sharp graphics features. Its unique quality among the Buick models is its big legroom most of which has been yanked off from the trunk. If you have to settle on an engine for your Buick Lacrosse, then go for the V6 option as it eliminates the coarse acceleration that is common in the smaller engines.
