In July 2009, General Motors rolled out a completely new type of Buick. The second generation LaCrosse was derived from the mid-size Epsiolon II platform that was shared with its European cousins, the Opel Insignia and the Saab 9-5. Unlike the old model, this came with a small 2.4-liter Ecotec engine and never got any V8s, making it more frugal.
For the 2012 model year, the LaCrosse became even more economical with the arrival of the mild hybrid version called the eAssist, delivering class leading fuel economy of 25 mpg city and 36 mpg highway. Despite this, one thing stood in its car's way, the vanilla looks which made it look like a livery sedan.
Buick has rectified this with a large dose of LEDs and visible styling changes. The 2014 Buick LaCrosse has just been revealed ahead of the New York Auto Show debut, and it's quite a good looking, but still very serious, mid-size. The LaCrosse adopts a larger and more angular grille with points that have been worked into the bonnet line and a beautiful new midline.
Inside, the 2014 LaCrosse comes with a redesigned interment panel, new seats and a elegant center console with simplified buttons.
Thanks to a broad introduction of tech features, the car is also much safer, as camera and radar based sensors combine to offer Side Blind Zone Alert, Lane Change Alert, Lane Departure Warning, Forward Collision Alert, Rear Cross Traffic Alert and Automatic Collision Preparation.
