2021 Buick LaCrosse Gets More Refined Than Ever
Sponsored Links
General Motors recently unveiled a comprehensive update to Buick’s sedan portfolio in China, the main highlights of which were the debut of the refreshed 2021 Regal GS, the addition of the Verano GS and the upcoming Excelle GT Mild Hybrid. However, with that announcement, the company also announced the launch of the 2021 Buick LaCrosse, which has just hit dealerships with new features and a higher level of refinement.
2021 Buick LaCrosse Avenir
Notably, 2021 is the second model year of the third-generation, facelifted LaCrosse which never made it to North America. As such, the 2021 Buick LaCrosse maintains the same design that debuted last year, but receives notable configuration and equipment improvements, reinforcing its position as the brand’s flagship sedan in its largest volume market.
Inside, both the standard 2021 LaCrosse and LaCrosse Avenir include a seat redesign that improves comfort and increases the spaciousness of the second row. This was achieved thanks to the fact that SAIC-GM sculpted into the rear seatbacks, while completely reshaping the rear bench to give it a more ergonomic shape. According to the automaker, the cabin benefits from richer materials and a higher level of craftsmanship.
In addition, the latest iteration of the Buick LaCrosse incorporates an expanded panoramic roof and a nanometer-grade PM2.5 air filter as standard equipment. This combines with dual-zone automatic climate control as well as new ‘AQS’ negative ion air purification and air quality control systems.
Mechanically, all versions of the 2021 Buick LaCrosse continue to be powered by the turbocharged 2.0L LSY four-cylinder engine, producing 233 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. The engine is mated exclusively to the GM 9-speed automatic transmission, by far the most widely used powertrain combination by GM in China.
The 2021 Buick LaCrosse is now available in dealerships and official online stores that the Tri-Shield brand operates in the Chinese market, the only one in which the sedan is sold. With improvements for the new model year, the LaCrosse seeks to continue to lead the full-size sedan segment in the world’s largest automotive market. The starting prices are as follows:
- LaCrosse: 229,800 CNY (about $32,180 USD at the current exchange rate)
- LaCrosse Avenir: 289,800 CNY ($40,580 USD)

I own a 2004 Buick LeSabre, and it’s running great after 152K miles. I’ll buy another Buick when the time comes, so I hope they will offer a 4-door sedan then. I don’t want/need a SUV.

Holy mother of god, this is one gorgeous masterpiece, Cadillac could learn a thing or two in the attention to detail department (I’m looking at you CT5’s faux rear quarter window).
I have 2017 Buick LACROSSE very happy with buick I bought brand new with smiles. But now I had 22.503miles.i enjoyed my buick LACROSSE. Oh in high school I had 1972 4 door Buick 225 Electric 4barrel .I that DAVENPORT GMC. ROCKY MOUNT NC. GO BUICK NEED LACROSSE BACK TO USA.
BOYCOTT 中国
Boycott 中国 immediately after I ship my 21 Avenir from there to the U S where it’s hot made no mo.
I considered the LaCrosse but the poor gas mileage was what I could not get over.
BOYCOTT 中国 No matter the personal cost. Let me just get my 21 Avenir on the ship to the U.S. and then absolute boycott. You should start right now tho.
I have a 2013 Buick Lacross and I Love it. The only negative thing I have to say about it is that it is small inside. I wish it was more roomy. Have had good luck with it so far
I drive Buick’s and have sold them for 12 years in the past. Over the 18 years in auto-related sales, I’ve sold Buick, Cadillac, GMC, Honda (all at one dealership), Chevrolet, Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and now Mazda/Volvo at my current dealership. Out of all the brands I’ve sold and the great number of brands I’ve been exposed to as used cars/trade in cars, I have found Buick to be the overall best and so reliable. Currently, I own two Buicks: 2018 Encore that I just love and purchased new as well as a 2006 Lucerne CXL V8 with 162K that is a dream to drive. Although I enjoy the feel and ride of the Lucerne more, I prefer to drive the Encore due to sitting up higher and the better visibility.
But I’m posting on this article tonight because I just drove my Encore from LA to northern IL to visit my mother. She owns a 2011 Buick LaCrosse CXL. While there, I took the time to drive her car instead of mine (she is elderly and wanted to be driven in her own car). All I can say is that her 2011 drives so well that I now really want one myself. I haven’t driven the most current LaCrosse that was sold in the USA, but if it’s as nice or better than her 2011, then I can tell you it’s one heck of a car. I’d love to have this car from the article being sold here!
I own a 2017 Buick Regal and it’s a pleasure to drive. It’s been reliable thus far and I bought it from a Hertz with 25,000 miles. It has now 41,000 and runs like a dream. Love my Buick!
I’m assuming you, like me, do not care that it’s manufactured and imported from Germany. Such a great car!
We have two Buicks so don’t hating me for saying this but the engineering and the mileage suck. If you want to blame the death of cars then blame management of GM Ford and Chrysler. Prices on cars I’m going up every single year I understand is more technology today than ever before when I first bought my new car in 1973 I paid $6,000 for a Toyota see that you’re hard-pressed to find anything under $20,000. GM in particular needs to find a way to create a motor 200 horsepower that can get 25 miles per hour gallon I remember when they advertise to V8 power and the other down to a lousy 3 cylinder.
Mind that the Lacrosse and Regal was available but few bought them. China is Buick #1 market but if Buick isn’t sold in the US the Chinese will stop buying them, hence the CUVs.
I would suggest one sedan for Buick in the US for an otherwise non excited brand.
Great, they are making luxury cars for Chinese people and we are supposed to be impressed? So GM is doing great but not in North America. A billion new full size cars on the road in China, where will they find the oxygen or the space for that many new cars? Fuck GM, we should have let them die off in 2009.
I have just purchased my third Regal, a GS that is one of the most beautiful cars on the road. This new Lacrosse is right up there in looks. GM seems completely unable to successfully market their products. Since 2011, the Regal has been an outstanding vehicle, but GM made no real attempt to sell them.
I purchased a 2010 Buick lacrosse cxs a year ago with 42,000 miles and in mint condition. Absolutely love it. Family owned Buick dealership, that serviced the vehicle for the previous owner down through the years. This is a head turner inside and out, has just as many bells and whistles has my wife’s Mercedes gl450,except for the horses, but it’s such a smooth and beautiful car, America has lost a gem.
you have the 3800 V6 engine, named one of the best engines ever made by WARD’S , properly cared for you may never wear it out, 152K is barely broken in Mike Motley
Wow. Absolutely beautiful. Great job GM.
I drive a Buick Lucerne and would love to trade it in for a Lacrosse or XTS. My issue is why are the foreign companies still making full size cars? Toyota Avalon, Lexus ES and LS, Kia, Nissan Maxima etc… I know these models are not selling well but they are still made. BMW and Mercedes still make sedans too. It’s only USA who does not.
Some of us still want a full size american car with plush seats, quiet engine, wonderful ride and features like cornering lights! Plus the insurance rates are very low on american sedans 🙂
Sold Buicks for 25 years. Own a Lacrosse. Bring back the Lacrosse for U.S. market…GM/Mary Barra, please Listen to your USMarket. We all don’t want an SUV
We have a Lucerne and love it had a Lasaber before both a great cars. Wished they would bring the Lacrosse to the U.S. better yet START BUILD IN THEM HERE!!!!!!!
