The 2014 Buick LaCrosse four-door sedan has received the five-Star overall safety score from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), as part of the agency’s New Car Assessment Program.
The new sedan earned full five-star ratings in the frontal and side crash tests and four stars in the rollover try-out. Driver and passenger safety in both the frontal and side crash were given the top 5-star score as well, while the “risk of rollover” was rated at 11.8 percent.
“Safety is one of the pillars of the Buick brand and our flagship continues to echo this essential element to our customers,” said Jeff Yanssens, chief engineer of the Buick LaCrosse. “Not only do we offer advanced safety technologies in the 2014 LaCrosse, but we designed and engineered the core of the car to perform well with respect to crash safety.”
The 2014 LaCrosse comes with Safety Alert Seat, Automatic Collision Preparation, Forward Collision Alert, Lane Departure Warning, Lane Change Alert, Side Blind Zone Alert, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Rear Vision Camera, and eight standard airbags.
