2010 Buick LaCrosse

Here is a look at the new 2010 Buick LaCrosse, which on the outside seems to look a little flashier, almost like it wants to break the stereotype of being an old persons car. The car features a new fuel efficient engine, and it may appeal to some new customers, but we think most people will have trouble getting past the Buick brand name.

Vehicle Highlights

The 2010 Buick LaCrosse is redesigned with freshened styling, new engines, and new features. LaCrosse is a 4-door sedan that comes in CX, CXL, and CXS trim levels. The 2010 model has about a 1-inch-longer wheelbase and is about 1 inch shorter overall than the 2005-2009 LaCrosse. CX models come with either a 182-horsepower 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine or a 255-horsepower 3.0-liter V6 engine. CXL versions have the 3.0-liter V6. The CXS has a 280-horsepower 3.6-liter V6 and replaces the V8-powered Super as the top LaCrosse model. All use a 6-speed automatic transmission. All-wheel drive is newly available, but only on the CXL with the V6 engine. Available safety features include ABS, traction control, antiskid system, curtain-side airbags, and front-side airbags. Blind-spot alert is also offered. CXL models have standard leather upholstery, and CXS models add heated and cooled front seats. Among the available features are a navigation system with rearview camera, xenon headlights, DVD entertainment, and head-up display. Note that LaCrosse is sold in Canada as the Allure.
