As a long-time Buick owner, I've driven the Excelle and ridden in the LaCrosse, and the differences are quite noticeable. The Excelle is an affordable compact car for average families, priced around 100,000 yuan, fuel-efficient and easy to drive. The LaCrosse is clearly a higher-end mid-to-large-size sedan, nearly five meters long with a completely different presence, offering truly spacious interiors. In terms of power, the Excelle is adequate for daily commuting, while the LaCrosse's 2.0T delivers much stronger acceleration and exceptional stability at high speeds. The features are incomparable – the LaCrosse now comes with a 30-inch widescreen, active noise cancellation, ventilated/heated seats – like a mobile office. If your budget allows, definitely go for the LaCrosse; for economical practicality, the Excelle is the right choice.
My friend was just talking to me about these two cars last week. The Excelle is nimble to drive, making parking in residential areas and navigating narrow alleys a breeze, with a fuel consumption of six to seven, so maintenance costs are no pressure. As for the LaCrosse, its size might make those with less parking skills think twice. The rear space is truly comfortable; the Excelle's back seat is a bit cramped for three adults, while the LaCrosse offers enough room to cross your legs. The difference in maintenance costs is also noticeable—changing the LaCrosse's engine oil can almost cover the cost of a minor service for the Excelle. In the end, it depends on whether you prioritize prestige or practicality. For city commuting, the Excelle is sufficient, but if you frequently take long trips or have business needs, the LaCrosse's sound insulation and seat comfort are worth the extra money.
