There are two types of engines for the LaCrosse 2.4. The LaCrosse models before the 2011 version were equipped with the LE5 engine from the ECOTEC series, while models after the 2011 version were equipped with the LAF engine. LaCrosse Model Design: The Buick LaCrosse adopts Buick's latest family design language, featuring smooth and elegant body lines and a highly dynamic body proportion. LaCrosse Powertrain System: The 2021 Buick LaCrosse family is equipped with two sets of drive systems, combining powerful performance with excellent fuel economy, and all models meet the 'China 6b' emission standards.

Regarding the LaCrosse's engine, the current mainstream models are equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine. Based on my driving experience, this engine delivers approximately 237 horsepower and utilizes General Motors' LSY technology, featuring variable cylinder functionality that automatically switches working modes according to road conditions, resulting in noticeable fuel savings on highways. The acceleration is brisk, achieving 0-100 km/h in just over 6 seconds, with strong but smooth power delivery, making it suitable for long-distance driving and daily commuting. Fuel consumption averages around 8-9L/100km under mixed conditions, slightly higher in urban areas but dropping to 6-7L on highways. The engine's reliability is also commendable, with routine maintenance being generally affordable. However, newer models are now introducing an eAssist mild hybrid version, which offers even better fuel efficiency with electric motor assistance, catering to eco-conscious drivers. The engine bay is compactly designed, with excellent sound insulation ensuring a quiet cabin environment.

I've been driving the LaCrosse for a while now, equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine. For daily commuting, it starts smoothly and accelerates steadily, making overtaking effortless. In terms of fuel consumption, it can be a bit thirsty in congested city traffic, reaching just over 10L, but it's very economical on the highway, easily dropping to 6-7L. The engine noise control is excellent, with almost no humming heard inside the cabin, making long trips fatigue-free. It responds promptly after starting, and performs strongly whether climbing hills or carrying luggage. When going out with my wife and kids, the whole family of five rides comfortably without any strain. Routine maintenance is simple, requiring only an oil and filter change every 10,000 kilometers or so. Most new cars nowadays come with this engine, while older models might have naturally aspirated options, but they're not common. Personally, I think this engine combines power and fuel efficiency, making it very practical.

The LaCrosse typically comes with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, delivering around 237 horsepower, which makes it incredibly thrilling when racing. Step on the gas, and you'll feel the strong push-back sensation—overtaking on highways is effortless. In terms of fuel consumption, it's quite economical on highways, dropping below 7L, but in city traffic, it can go up to around 10L. It starts quickly with responsive acceleration, boasts a stylish design, and turns heads on the road. The hybrid version is even more impressive, being both fuel-efficient and eco-friendly. Maintenance isn't complicated—just regular check-ups are needed.
