2 Answers
Buick LaCrosse is the Buick LaCrosse sedan. Taking the 2021 Buick LaCrosse as an example, it is a mid-size car with body dimensions of: length 5026mm, width 1866mm, height 1459mm, wheelbase of 2905mm, and a curb weight of 1535kg. The 2021 Buick LaCrosse features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 169PS, maximum torque of 250Nm, and maximum power of 124kW. It is paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission.
As a car enthusiast, I always love talking about those classic models. The Buick LaCrosse can be considered the flagship sedan of the Buick brand, first introduced in 2004 to replace the outdated LeSabre and Park Avenue. Positioned in the mid-size luxury segment, the Chinese market particularly favors its spacious and comfortable design. I’ve driven the 2018 model at some test-drive events and found the ride surprisingly smooth, with a suspension system that strikes a perfect balance—firm yet comfortable, effectively filtering out road bumps. The interior uses premium materials, like genuine leather seats and a large-screen navigation system, creating an elegant retro vibe. However, its fuel consumption is on the higher side, averaging around 18-20 mpg in the city and slightly better on highways. A related topic is that with SUVs dominating the market, the LaCrosse was discontinued in 2020, but it remains highly sought after in the used car market, making it a great choice for buyers who prioritize driving comfort and have a moderate budget. Personally, I think its noise insulation technology is outstanding—closing the windows provides top-tier soundproofing, making long drives fatigue-free.
