Buick LaCrosse Overview

The Buick LaCrosse comes in three models: The base CX and the more luxurious CXL are powered by Buick's veteran 3.8-liter overhead-valve V6, rated at 200 horsepower. The performance-oriented CXS comes instead with a 3.6-liter V6 with modern double overhead camshafts and variable valve timing; although slightly smaller in displacement, it develops 240 horsepower. Safety features on all models include anti-lock brakes (ABS), traction control, a tire-pressure monitor, and side-curtain airbags, along with the required front airbags. Optional safety features include park assist and StabiliTrak electronic stability control.

For 2007, Buick LaCrosse benefits from revised trim and equipment upgrades, including a standard tire-pressure monitor and available Turn-by-Turn navigation from OnStar. Otherwise, it's largely unchanged from 2006.
