Buick is beginning to make a splash with its 2017 LaCrosse, which is set to make its official debut at the 2015 Los Angeles Auto Show in a few short weeks.
Adding to the official image we saw earlier, which showcased the 2017 LaCrosse’s new front grille and the reinstatement of the red, white and blue tri-shield, is this latest teaser you see above.
The image was published via Buick’s official Twitter channel with the accompanying tweet reading:
If you’ve never experienced love at first sight, you will. The all-new #BuickLaCrosse is coming.
The teaser hosts a darkened silhouette, barely hinting at the head and taillamps, which also seem to house Buick’s new-signature LED lighting.
If we can take a sentence or two to speculate, the rear window placement looks to mirror what we’ve also seen from the upcoming 2017 Opel Insignia, also on deck to become the 2018 Holden Commodore. We may be seeing our first look at what Opel has up its sleeve once we have a better look at the 2017 Buick LaCrosse.
The 2017 LaCrosse will ride on General Motors’ E2xx platform, where it will stretch its legs and lengthen, likely more than the 2016 Chevrolet Malibu, which shares the same base. The 2017 LaCrosse will also be capable of supporting many engine offerings, starting with LTG 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbo, climbing up the powertrain rung to the LF3 3.6-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine. It’s likely each engine will be paired to an eight-speed automatic transmission.

I almost got a buick lacrosse about 2 years ago until i sat in the DTS platinum.. I love the buicks efficiency though
I would have bought a LaCrosse by now but it’s size held me back. Its a great looking car but just wished it was a few inchs longer with a more spacious interior. This car looks like it might have rectified both of those issues. I already have it on my shopping list and have not even seen it yet.
Finally, the LaCrosse will look as good as the Impala! Maybe even better.
I might get flamed for this, but… I hope the waterfall grille comes with chrome. I like the chrome-y buicks.
look bold
This is the first new car in a long time that I’m excited about in an “I can’t wait to park one in my garage” way.
Hope that Chevy will stretch the Impala at the LaCrosse size and uzes the same engines.
Hope to see some of the Avenir design cues . Ecspecially in the interior .
I wonder if GM will install the Voltec EREV system in the LaCrosse.
Are you kidding, the LaCrosse has a more spacious interior than anything in the market segment. Just one look at the length and profile of the rear door tells you that.
