The Buick marquee in the US presently primarily comprises crossovers and SUVs, but conventional saloons are still a part of the range in China. The most recent iteration of the LaCrosse is now unveiled as the leading four-door of the brand.
Exterior
The next-generation LaCrosse adorns Buick’s Pure Design philosophy. The external design showcases a wide, trapezoidal grille. Arranged headlights reside on the outer borders, and elevated LED running lights rest above them. The sides exhibit gentle sculpting. The rear end flaunts full-width taillights with a sharp look that mirrors the DRLs.
The Avenir variant in the pictures showcases grid adjustable headlights with 222 illuminating diodes. Nine lighting modes have the capability to modify the upper and lower gleams to complement the conditions. Upon detecting the driver’s wireless phone key, the vehicle triggers a greeting animation that illuminates the front lamps, rear lamps, and door handle lights.
Interior
The LaCrosse’s inside showcases the Buick Virtual Cockpit System that incorporates a 30-inch curved screen with a 6K resolution. It facilitates wireless updates for various modules. The suspended central console possesses an integrated charging mat on the surface, while the lower section forms a spacious storage compartment amidst the front seats. Buick proudly highlights the utilization of deluxe components such as laser-etched adornments and French dual stitching.
Within the Avenir’s compartment, the seating includes warmth, ventilation, and massage capabilities. Furthermore, there exist 121 LEDs for embellishing illumination.
Powertrain
Buick failed to delineate the powertrain choices of the LaCrosse in the initial proclamation. Preceding information from China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology suggested that the saloon would be equipped with a 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine that is turbocharged, producing 237 horsepower.
The departure of the LaCrosse from the United States occurred subsequent to the 2019 model year. There is no indication that Buick intends to introduce the fresh saloon to the US.
The most recent Buick arriving in the United States is the Envista. It possesses an appearance with an equivalent styling language as the fresh LaCrosse, such as a huge grille and razor-edged running lights. Internally, there exists an 11-inch multimedia display.
Power originates from a 1.2-litre force-induced motor that produces 136 horsepower and 162 pound-feet. The projected fuel efficiency reaches 30 miles per gallon in total.
Costs commence at $23,495 following the $1,095 transportation charge. The highest-tier Avenir model demands $29,695.
