About Buick LaCrosse

The Buick LaCrosse is a full-size premium sedan that slots above the compact Buick Verano and midsize Buick Regal. The current, third-generation LaCrosse was introduced for the 2017 model year. The vehicle is based on the long wheelbase variant of the GM E2 platform. The short-wheelbase variant of the same platform is shared with the sixth-generation Buick Regal and ninth-generation Chevrolet Malibu.

The 2018 model introduced several new colors and the GM 9-speed automatic transmission in place of the 2017 model's 8-speed. It also added a new standard powertrain in the form of the mild-hybrid 2.5L engine with eAssist coupled with a six-speed automatic transmission. In addition, the 2018 LaCrosse Avenir was introduced to serve as the range-topping model.

The 2019 LaCrosse introduced two new colors and a Sport Touring (1SH) trim. A refresh is expected for the 2020 model year.

In November 2018, General Motors announced that it will discontinue the Buick LaCrosse in the United States market, a move that will result in the idling of the Detroit-Hamtramck plant where it's built. The vehicle will remain available in China.

  1. A tad too much blue in that to be called Pewter…
    Even Antique Pewter isn’t that blue.

  2. Now we see that pewter can be any color at GM. Let’s see a black one to complete it’s spectrum.

  4. 3 shades of gray. And why is there an extra cost to any of these? The only colors that should have an additional charge are pearl white, premium reds and more exotic colors. Common colors like gray, black, blue or green should not cost extra.

  5. Ah, yes! The Buick Lacrosse “color snoozefest” just goes on and on! Do wake me up when it’s over. However, I must say that the wheels shown in these photos are, to me at least, the more attractive of the two 18-inch choices available. The bad news is that you can’t get them if you want the V-6 engine, according to the brochure. How weird is that?
