Known for its effortless style and luxurious features, Buick LaCrosse is just as adept at providing premium levels of performance and safety.

Crisp lines and bold design elements make the LaCrosse instantly recognizable as a modern Buick. Light-emitting diode (LED) lighting elements enhance a technologically advanced presence. The headlamp housings, for example, have a more angular appearance and LED signature accents. They are also positioned slightly outboard to reinforce the car's presence.

A warm ambience and ergonomic features naturally flow throughout the cockpit of the LaCrosse. A flowing, mindful design mixes contemporary colors, complementing trim and premium soft materials to reinforce LaCrosse's luxurious attention to detail.

The instrument panel houses a configurable eight-inch color driver information and cluster display, with the chrome-framed "center stack" integrating an eight-inch color touch screen. The center stack blends into a center console that offers generous storage and a comfortable armrest.

For 2016, LaCrosse is offered in five trim levels with front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive configurations available with two powertrains: a standard 3.6L direct-injected V-6 (FWD and AWD) and a 2.4L engine with eAssist light electrification technology (FWD only). Each engine is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission.

Other new updates for 2016 include 20-inch wheels available on AWD premium models and three new premium paint colors.

The midsize sedan, which was awarded a 5-Star Overall Vehicle Safety Rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in 2015, offers protection with several available active safety features such as Forward Collision Alert, Lane Departure Warning and Side Blind Zone Alert.
