2 Answers
Buick LaCrosse is the LaCrosse sedan, a mid-to-high-end car launched by Shanghai GM, positioned between the Regal and Royaum. The LaCrosse's engine features dual VVT, electronic throttle, independent ignition coils per cylinder, two additional balance shafts inside the engine block, and a chain-driven camshaft. In terms of appearance, the Buick LaCrosse's chassis adopts a front MacPherson strut and rear 4-link suspension setup. The Buick LaCrosse measures 5031mm in length, 1853mm in width, and 1458mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2807mm. The car's engine delivers a maximum horsepower of 169Ps, a maximum power of 124kW, and a maximum torque of 250Nm.
I've been driving Buicks for years, and the LaCrosse is truly a special model. It's a mid-to-large-sized sedan under the Buick brand, first introduced in 2005 to replace the older Century, primarily targeting the North American market. The name LaCrosse sounds like a French sport, but it has no connection to the car itself. The first generation was manufactured in Canada, emphasizing comfort and luxury with ample rear-seat space, making it feel like driving on a sofa. After its redesign in 2016, it gained more tech features, such as adaptive cruise control and an upgraded infotainment system. Overall, it's positioned for family and business use, offering spacious interiors but slightly higher fuel consumption—a full tank can last over 400 kilometers in city driving. I think it suits those who appreciate traditional American styling, and it's quite a bargain on the used car market, though new models have become scarce in recent years.
