A design revolution is occurring at GM’s premium Buick brand, starting with the all-new 2017 LaCrosse – a midsize sedan that battles the Lexus ES and Lincoln MKZ. Borrowing cues from the recent Avenir concept, this LaCrosse is longer, lower and wider while proudly displaying the return of the 3-color Buick tri-shield insignia. It’s also about 300 pounds lighter, contributing to greater efficiency and more responsive handling. The longer wheelbase makes rear seat entry and egress easier as well as providing more usable storage space. Powered by GM’s next generation 3.6-liter V6, the LaCrosse benefits from new fuel saving technologies such as cylinder deactivation and Stop/Start. It’s rated at 305 horsepower and 268 pound-feet of torque.
