How Much Does the Buick LaCrosse Weigh?
2 Answers
Buick LaCrosse weighs 1770kg. The LaCrosse is a new mid-to-high-end sedan launched by Shanghai GM, positioned between the Regal and the Royaum, with main competitors including the Teana and Accord. The Buick LaCrosse adopts the GM-LAN 32-bit communication control system, integrating major modules and sensors such as powertrain, lighting, chassis, safety, and entertainment. In terms of active safety, the Buick LaCrosse is equipped with the VSES (Vehicle Stability Enhancement System), which automatically adjusts engine torque output and selectively applies braking force to the four wheels when the actual driving direction deviates from the ideal trajectory, ensuring the vehicle stays on a safe driving path.
When I personally drive the Buick LaCrosse, I feel its weight is quite substantial, generally fluctuating between 1700kg and 1900kg, depending on the year and engine configuration. For example, the 2020 front-wheel-drive base model is slightly lighter, around 1725kg, while the all-wheel-drive top trim can reach up to 1900kg. It feels steady when carrying passengers or cargo, and doesn’t feel too floaty when turning. This also affects daily comfort—the heavier weight improves sound insulation, making it quieter on the highway, but you need to be more careful with parking space. Overall, this car isn’t lightweight and is suitable for users who prefer a solid driving experience. However, if you want better fuel efficiency, you’d need to opt for the hybrid version, as the extra weight does add a bit to fuel costs.
