Following several leaks of the next generation of Buick‘s flagship sedan in China, General Motors has just officially unveiled the all-new 2024 Buick LaCrosse in the Asian country.
The automaker debuted the all-new 2024 Buick LaCrosse on May 4th in the city of Shanghai, showing the first images and official information on the new vehicle developed exclusively for China. While the SAIC-GM joint venture confirmed most of the details we already knew about regarding the 2024 LaCrosse’s exterior and interior design, it took advantage of the reveal to show the vehicle for the first time in the range-topping Avenir trim.
The all-new 2024 Buick LaCrosse introduces the fourth generation of Buick’s full-size sedan, carrying on the nameplate’s legacy with an all-new design and premium technologies. The brand claims the 2024 LaCrosse combines “forward-thinking” styling and a highly refined interior to meet the growing expectations of wealthier and progressive customers in China, the only country where the model is built and sold.
As we previously reported, the all-new 2024 Buick LaCrosse embraces the new Pure Design language and sleeker proportions that define the brand’s new era. It highlights the imposing shark-nose front-end design, the larger grille and the wraparound headlamps that give it a unique look. In fact, the new LaCrosse debuts a winged lighting signature with Matrix LED headlamps, including up to 222 front and 352 rear lighting elements in the Avenir version.
For its part, the interior of the 2024 Buick LaCrosse raises the level of sophistication with greater attention to detail and the most advanced technologies. The new horizontally arranged dashboard features the Buick Virtual Cockpit module with a massive 30-inch 6K Eyemax curved display, powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip and incorporating 5G connectivity. The Avenir model boasts a two-tone finish and an ambient lighting system with 121 light sources.
The all-new 2024 Buick LaCrosse will officially launch and go on sale over the next few months in China, which is expected to remain the nameplate’s only target market. Based on the same variant of the GM E2 platform as the outgoing generation, the 2024 LaCrosse measures 196.7 inches long, 73.5 inches wide and 57.9 inches tall, with the same 114.4-inch wheelbase and the 2.0L I4 LSY engine for all versions.

It’s not horrible. Looks like an Impala Lexus mash up. I actually hate current Lacrosse design so this is ok by me.
I though non EVs weren’t selling well in China because gov refused to register many?
welll still keep my car, 10 years old, with design errors, but not so big design ugliness of the new models
yeah, after seeing the 1985 GM Buick SEDAN … GMA posted… well, then you go compare what was great designers… and what is consum designers of today… it was elegant, now is recyclible… you see GM does not have competent people anymore, but if you gonna send a Resume, they say there are many people better than you… it is great as previous CAD designer, now at home forever… there is no industry anymore for me. The front sad face of this is horrible, very chinese japanese thailand indonesia, but interior is OK, do not need the electronics either. Repairs Costs
GM went backwards on this car when it comes to appearance. Too bad. But it doesn’t matter because Ford and GM have decided for all of us that we don’t need cars to buy. Except one little problem: Last year there were still about 3 million sedans (CARS) sold in the USA. Now imagine how much higher that number would have been if GM was serious about offering more than 3 sedans and if Ford actually sold any sedans.
I just read an article on another site where they claimed that sedans are making a comeback and supported that claim with information to back it up. So go ahead GM. Join Ford in your stupid decisions and allow myself and many others to buy cars from other brands.
I love a nice sedan as much as the next guy. This Lacrosse is nice. One has to admit, access and egress is easier in a higher SUV-like vehicle anyhow (regardless of your age). And cargo/utility of today’s SUV-liike vehicles is also much better than the three-box sedan designs. Dan B, even you bought a bolt which is more like the SUV/Crossover design than a sedan. Actually, the evolution of full-body on frame SUV’s to the body-integral structure Crossovers and the morphing of yesterday’s three-box sedans to Crossovers is actually evolution. Today’s body/frame integral crossovers are actually today’s sedans.
The lower/wider, front-drive only Trax, for instance is today’s sedan. Like-it-or-not. It’s evolution….
W Body: And yet, more than 3 million of us still don’t want an SUV/CUV or truck. Go figure.
I love how people on here now attempt to claim the Bolt is “more like the SUV/Crossoever”. So you would call the Mazda 3 hatch, the Prius C, the Honda Fit, the Sonic hatch, the Mitsubishi Mirage hatch, etc, etc as SUV/CUV’s now? There’s a big difference between a car that is a hatch and a true crossover/SUV. Just because GM was too cheap to put painted trim around the wheels and bottom of the Bolt doesn’t make it a CUV.
But to each their own. If you or others truly want an SUV, go for it. But how would you like it if you went to purchase another SUV tomorrow only to be met with zero or one or two being offered? And then the sales person tries to push you into a car? I highly doubt you and the others on here would like that one bit. I bring that up because I don’t have an issue with GM having a ton of SUV/CUV’s and/or trucks. Have as many as they wish. But I do have a real problem with them dropping cars and forcing everyone into an SUV. What’s more, I certainly don’t understand the defense on this site of what they are doing while tell those of us who don’t want an SUV to basically shut up and drive one.
I’m done with GM. I will never buy from Ford/Lincoln again because they fully removed every single sedan. So F-them. And after GM emailed me saying how “valued” I am as a customer, but they are killing the car I just purchased, I’m now done with GM. I will buy cars and I will buy them from other brands such as Volvo, Polestar, VW, Kia, Hyundai, Chrysler or Dodge.
You completely missed the point. What you’re calling “SUV/CUV” are sedans…today’s sedans. The underpinnings are no different. If what you’re calling a sedan or a car is the 3box design, then how was a Bolt your choice. i’m not criticizing Bolts… I actually like the design… but I wouldn’t call it a traditional sedan as you seem to demand.
The point was about how demographics, marketing analysis and capitalism drive what the OEMs produce. You should buy what you want… that is the point.
You have no logic to your complaints. You may just want to complain and no one else listens to you so you come here.
And I quote you: “The point was about how demographics, marketing analysis and capitalism drive what the OEMs produce. You should buy what you want… that is the point.”
So…………………….I and millions of others should buy what we want….that is the point correct? And yet, if you’re a Ford person or Lincoln person and want a sedan. Too bad. If you are a Buick person and want a sedan. Too bad. If you are a Chevy person and want a sedan, you get the Malibu or nothing. If you’re a Cadillac person who has purchased larger (IE roomier and more comfortable) sedans for years and you want a new one. Too bad. Am I getting this correct or am I just complaining according to you?
I fully got your point the first time and responded like I did because so many on here and at the GM towers are not watching or listening to a very large group of buyers. Instead you and they just tell us to belly up, shut up and buy an SUV and use a silly argument that a hatch is now an SUV. Sure, go with that if it helps you sleep better.
The point is you don’t even know what you’re ticked about.
You’re just crotchety and angry and want to burden everyone with it.
What’s a car?
What’s a sedan?
you beckon back to body-on-frame b-body Caprices? Sure, everyone does – and that’s why so many Full-Size BoF SUV’s sell. Nooo, that’s not what you want? You want a front-drive “car”… ??
You don’t know. You just want to argue and be angry. You didn’t buy a Malibu. You didn’t buy an AT4… And you’re right: GM does not care about you – and neither does anyone else…
W Body Cutlass: If I cared about what you think of me, then I’d be a quite sad person who, like so many, do (or say) things looking for approval and positive reinforcement in the wrong places. Just like these “look at me driving my over-priced Hummer”, who get these things to garner attention. So do I care what you think of me? No.
I don’t buy my vehicles based on what I feel others will think of them. I certainly didn’t buy my Bolt because it’s nice looking or will get thumbs up from others. I didn’t buy it because it’s super fast or because it will get the attention of the same people out there who crave attention. No, I purchased it because it was low cost and efficient. Because it’s easy to park in the areas where I live and work. I purchased it because I’m trying to do my part in the fight against climate change, and although I know EV’s are far from perfect, they are a step in the right direction. And I sold my beautiful 2021 Malibu (in part because I don’t trust GM to keep the Malibu around much longer) and got the Bolt for the frugality of it while “thinking” that it was a safe model that would hopefully retain a decent resale value. But GM decided people like me aren’t worth it and they prefer to build overly expensive trucks and SUV’s for the rich. So they killed the Bolt and highly likely the resale value of my car. And now I’ve made it my mission to be first in line to call GM out for the BS that they have become.
So go ahead and keep commenting. I’m good with it. But don’t misunderstand the person I am and why I say what I say. The Bolt is my last GM vehicle. I will buy/lease my next CAR from Volvo, Polestar, VW, Hyudai, Kia, Chrysler or Dodge, BMW or maybe even BYD (China). Why? Because I no longer care about supporting a company like GM since they care less about me.
Oh my. Read what you write. Print it and take it to your psychiatrist on your next visit. You are unhappy about everything because you are unhappy with yourself. No vehicle can help you.
So because I’m not vain and demanding attention, I need a shrink? Or is it because I’m no longer going to be the person standing behind GM just because it’s GM? Or is it because I said that what others think of me doesn’t matter?
Why are you so threatened by someone willing to take a stand?
Dan B., you should know by now that you’re not allowed to be critical of GM or Mary on this forum. It hurts feelings and shatters illusions.
You must get aligned with “The Automaker” and agree with everything they say and do, even if it’s about layoffs, downsizing, terminations, and taking government loans & grants only to go build cars less than 1 mile across the border in Mexico. Don’t forget, it’s the “government’s money”.
The libbies here can’t stand differing opinions, and they can’t be critical of their “Automaker”, even if it’s intended to make said “Automaker” better.
This is slightly of the topic. Just saw that Roger Dean Chevrolet in Orlando was charging $29K plus for a battery in a Volt. How much would a 4 cylinder engine cost in a similar-sized vehicle, $3 or $4K? This EV thing is a screwing of Americans and enriching the CCP and the car companies, stick with ICE vehicles.
Amen! gm China does not want us to have roomy sedans, fine we have gone elsewhere. Remember the days when I stopped for red light and at least dozen vehicles around where Olds Cutluss, today you see way too many CUV/SUV’s at the intersection mostly RAV 4, Ford Escape, JEEP Compass, Honda HR-V. Never seems to fail in a right turn lane, the vehicle in the left lanes are Sububan/Tahoe//Yukon/Expedition stopped in the middle of the walking lane, blocking pedestrians from crossing and right lane traffic from making a right turn. Really need people that love these high sitting vehicles be required to get a Drivers licence required for school buses, semi-trucks, seriously many people don’t seem to realize how much they block other drivers views.
Enjoy your SUV and its milk truck styling. It is very easy to enter and exit from my 2018 Dodge Charger and 2022 Chrysler 300S V8.
I could have sworn Ford sold a boatload of Fusion sedans in the last 10 years, or am I seeing the same 3 Fusions everywhere I happen to be?
W Body Olds: I completely disagree with you. Maybe it´s only a matter of tastes but for me, SUV´s and crossovers represent the maximum experession of automotive design involution. Unless an SUV is pretended for 7 or more passengers which is the only way I find they make sense, it´s not true that they have more space or are more confortable. As a matter of fact, driving them is really boring as their gravity center is higher and put more resistance to the wind, which also makes them less efficient and more expensive (a contridiction in a planet that has climate changing problems by the way). If you like SUV´s, crossovers or high make beleive sedans, go and buy them. As for me, there´s simply no human power that´s going to make me buy an SUV, a crossover or any high vehicle for the simple reason that I don´t like them. It´s simply matter of tastes.
Yes – some have higher centers of gravity for sure. Some are true SUV’s for sure. But many CUVs/crossovers today are no different. The Trax is a sedan for instance. Not really higher than yesterdays sedans.
And I was not making an argument to buy one or the other. I have a coupe and a couple of pickups – so Im not an SUV buyer.
Weren’t you already doing that because of the Bolt thing?
I think there should at least be one or two sedans in each GM line up, except for GMC of course, but I don’t run GM.
I’m sure they’ll call another emergency meeting at the RenCen from your most recent post.
gm could badge the Chevy Malibu rebadge it as GMC Sprint like they did years ago.
good said Dan
Let’s just hope there is a next gen Malibu in Chevy’s future even if it’s an ev
Strong Toyota Crown form-factor vibes.
A “luxury” sedan with a 1.5L 177hp turbo 4cyl. Seems like automakers are simply going to 3cyl and 4cyl the world.
“and the 2.0L I4 LSY engine for all versions”
The article states the 235hp 2.0 is the standard and only engine.
More like an entry Cadillac. This could be given the Cadilac treatment and become a new Cadillac Calais. Bring the “New” Calais and the CT6 over from China and you would have a big sales success.
Let them stay in China and it will be a bigger success. Make them in North America, instead.
Reminds me of a Toyota Avalon. Not Good.
The big grille sort of overpowers the lower sedan shape where on the taller SUV’s it looks a little better proportioned, the rear looks good but the trunk opening keeps getting smaller and smaller.
The front looks great the back looks little too small but you can probably but the backseat down .
Every sedan today has exactly the same silhouette. Low ‘C’ pillar, long sloping rear window and short trunk lid. They are all alike. Unreal. You have a hard time getting in and out of back seat of over 5′ tall. Sedans have unfortunately become impractical.
Ehh, definitely not the traditional Buick sedan look at the front. Not sure if this fascia design would work in NA, as its really something to get used to.
Strange, very Japanese Design Indeed
Wow – that car has quite an angry face! Not my style for sure.
Once again this new shark nose treatment just does not work with the rest of the design. On its own looking at the front end shot, it’s not bad at all. But the author here even called it “imposing”, which contradicts the ver conservative side profile and rear end treatment. Lipstick on a pig comes to mind. And yet for some reason when I look at a Lexus of past generations I don’t feel the same way. I hope this shark nose idea doesn’t last too long. But I suppose I also don’t live in China and won’t ever have a chance to consider a Buick Sedan again anyway.
I find it interesting that the general overall consensus here is not favorable for the new Buick “shark nose” design. I think it’s aimed at a younger buyer/demographic. A good chunk of Buick’s buyers are older and I think prefer a more traditional grill. I see this “shark nose” design popping up more and more. Curious to see how it translates on the next gen Enclave coming later this year.
I find the new front-end design language very off-putting. Scotch-taped onto the front of the Encore GX, it takes a nicely balanced car and turns it into Frankenstein.
I still gaze at the few US-marketed LaCrosse examples with a lot of admiration. China can keep this new one to themselves.
Time to take this vehicle and turn it into a nice big 2-door Riviera complete with convertible!
A shame this car is not for sale in the rest of the World. In China and nothing, is exactly the same. Not everybody likes SUV´s, crossovers, make beleive high sedans or any other high vehicle or is willing to buy one no matter what.
The front end is terrible but the back is okay. The side profile looks like what a next gen Malibu would be with the ugly front end grafted on. I would still consider this car and get used to the front end if it was offered here with the 235 HP LSY engine. Not sure about that massive center console and video game dash though
Well, it looks almost exactly like my Toyota Avalon. I guess that’s good. But, frankly that’s where the similarity ends. The Avalon rides exceptionally well. The V6 has good performance and is delivering a credible average of 32 MPG. and lasts. Here’s what I am concerned about with GM; someone has decided to cut corners in too many places. Example: My Colorado V6 has a tow package, but as its not a top model they installed a shiftable stick, but failed to tell me when I bought that it’s does allow individual gear selection. What! Is that a bait and switch? And, knowing people are going tow, they failed to install remotely operated side mirrors. For God sake GM, just change us the extra $150. Don’t make stupid decisions like that in a vacuum! The second concern: Will this car/trick hold up LONG TERM? My friends Malibu recently hit 180K and all the “Plastic” engine parts are cracking and leaking. That might not sound like a serious issue….. Think again. GM used plastic injectors and rail fittings. Cost of replacement, how about $7000.00. I convinced him to look at a rebuilt engine (Long Block) that came with a 7 yr warranty. Was cheaper than fixing what he had. If GM is hot reduce pollution, well just put the parts on the vehicle to insure it will last longer and not end up abandoned on the side of the road as it’s too expensive to repair.
While I agree with a lot of what you wrote, the part about your friends Malibu makes no sense. You need to understand what comprises a long block. Fuel injectors and other things are not included in that. Plastic parts, in most cases, are far superior to rubber, such as seals and hoses. At 180K miles there should be a lot of life left in that basic engine if it was properly maintained.
Any chance they could offer this New Lacrosse in Mexico? I’m turning 40 this year and I would love to have one of these large, elegant sedans from GM. Not everyone wants an SUV/Crossover as a daily commuter.
I am disappointed because I love Buicks. My problem with this is that I am handicap and can’t get into a SUV by myself. Buicks are perfect for me! I had planned to buy a new one and now I can’t.
SUV-like front grille… watch out guys I’m gonna vomit !
Looks like a Toyota Corolla…
