Buick introduced the seventh generation of the LeSabre in 1991 as a 1992 model-year and brought the luxury GM in the mid-priced sedan range.

The LeSabre was Buick's best-selling model for years, and the refreshed version brought enough features to continue that trend. But for unknown reasons, its parent company didn't grant him with a supercharged version, as it was its longer sibling Park Avenue.

Buick's designers couldn't decide if they should ditch the '80s design trend with clear, boxy-looking bodyworks or if they should go for the new bio-design trend. As a result, the LeSabre was between those lines and showed a distinct shape of an '80s car with soft lines and a few curved panels from the '90s trends. The horizontal headlights were wrapped around the corners, with the turn signals at the bottom. Its sloped-down hood and raked windshield offered better visibility than its predecessor. In the back, the red taillights were surrounded by an arched chromed line at the top and a straight one at the bottom. The overall look was like a tuxedo made from denim.

Inside, it was a clear '80s fashion with a vertical dash panel, slightly arched in front of the bench seat. The chromed, steering-column mounted gear selector featured the cruise control buttons. In the back, the flat bench offered enough room for three adults and adequate legroom.

Under the hood, Buick installed the 3.8-liter V-6 engine paired with a four-speed automatic transmission. The front-wheel-drive system worked well for the long vehicle but surely didn't impress anyone with its 170 ponies.
