Buicks were once a cut above the common car and the new LaCrosse aims to return Buick to the top of the class with fresh new styling outside and in. The mid-sized LaCrosse is a FWD entry-luxury model that offers a choice of four-cylinder and V6 engines and optional all-wheel-drive. The interior of the LaCrosse features wrap around styling with the lines of the instrument panel flowing in the center stack and the door panels. Ambient lighting accents increase the upscale appearance.

The 2.4l four cylinder becomes the standard engine in CX and CXL FWD models. The 3.0l six cylinder is discontinued.
