General Motors has just unveiled the updated 2025 Buick LaCrosse in China. The reveal comes a year and a half after Buick launched the all-new, fourth-generation LaCrosse in the Asian country, and represents the second model year of Buick’s fourth generation sedan, which was exclusively developed in and built for the Chinese market.
2025 Buick LaCrosse Platinum
The 2025 LaCrosse features a revised trim level lineup, equipment upgrades and a more competitive price to bolster the model’s competitiveness in the Chinese market.
2025 Buick LaCrosse Platinum Avenir
“The Buick LaCrosse has been synonymous with premium sedans in China since its launch in 2006, earning the trust of more than 1.2 million customers,” said General Director of Buick Sales and Marketing in China, Cesar Toledo. “The arrival of the 2025 LaCrosse will once again redefine the premium car market through its luxury and technology, allowing consumers to enjoy a thoroughly modern travel experience,” he added.
The upgraded 2025 Buick LaCrosse debuts the top-of-the-line Platinum and Platinum Avenir trim levels, replacing the prior model year’s four trims that included Beyond, Enjoy, Premium and Avenir. Both 2025 LaCrosse trims are powered as standard by the turbocharged 2.0L I4 LSY engine, rated at 174 kW (233 horsepower) and 350 Nm (258 pound-feet) of torque. The boosted four is mated to GM’s nine-speed automatic transmission.
Equipment updates to the 2025 Buick LaCrosse include new seat padding called “3D floating comfort.” It features enhanced technology and increased cushion length that makes it a land jet. Added to this are Four King Seats with heating, cooling and massage systems, cementing the LaCrosse as the most comfortable sedan in its class. Additionally, the massive 30-inch curved screen receives Buick’s latest software version.
The updated 2025 Buick LaCrosse has just been launched and is available now across Buick’s extensive dealer network across China, where the brand is struggling to stay relevant in a market saturated with electric models from domestic brands. For that reason, SAIC-GM significantly reduced the price of the 2025 LaCrosse, making the Platinum version cheaper than the base variant of the previous model year, which was priced to start at 179,900 yuan (about $25,880 USD, at current conversion rates).
Starting prices for the 2025 LaCrosse are as follows:
- 2025 LaCrosse Platinum: 159,900 yuan (about $22,450 USD at the current exchange rate)
- 2025 LaCrosse Platinum Avenir: 189,900 yuan ($26,660 USD)

Looks like an eight-year-old Toyota Avalon that’s now been discontinued.
I remember when GM led the industry in terms of automotive design. This is obviously following and way way behind.
So are you saying because the Avalon has been discontinued, Lacrosse is?
What does one have to do with the other?
No V6, wack.
its a china car they have significantly more regulations
That’s also my question
so basically its a malibu, that we wont get because gm decided to kill it.
wonderful. gm can make 20k cars for china, but here, go finance a 70k truck americans.
you boys like getting milked i hope! cause you are getting milked!
Don’t know what you are trying to say, but pickups are generally more expensive than cars according to what car or truck you are buying. I don’t think you can get any truck for 20k and if you get a car for 20K ,it’s probably a stripped down version with no bells and whistles.
GM cannot control its business environment. If you want American manufacturing to be cost-competitive with Asia, vote wisely.
For something… like this, to sell for so little money, illustrates clearly how futile the Chinese market is for foreign brands. Barra was right about one thing, and one thing only… competing in China is a race to the bottom.
As it’s built by GM’s Chinese workers (if you can manage to put all politics aside) we all know it’s great quality. Feature rich, modern appealing design, awesome interior, great engine and tranny…this is a winner. It would sell well here in the US, especially at a reasonable price level. There is room for a low vehicle in the market, and my Authority friends…..is anyone out there perceiving a slight bump upward in traditional (1960s to 2010s) type lower height sedans?
jg: Yes. There are many others out here like you who are seeing an uptick in sedan interest and desire. What many don’t take into account is the time this stuff takes. Trends and being able to forecast what buyers will want is not an easy thing. You have the economy, gas prices, and new buyers (kids not wanting what their parents drove) all having an affect on the market. So I get it that the auto makers can make mistakes and/or miss the mark. But this constant push (by them) to force us all into SUV’s and CUV’s and trucks is just plain bad business. I still hold a grudge against Ford for killing EVERY single sedan. Personally, I’m all for them offering us sedans with a higher “H” point. Think of the AMC Eagle sedan from the 80’s.
The first time I heard China and quality in the same sentence
Even though I hate the front end that is very un-Buick like I would still like to see this being offered here in the states
It’s got a front end that only a mother could like! (: )
When the loyal, American consumer, including myself, is tired of GM not trying to EARN our business with high quality competitive products, GM is doomed. The Asian and German manufactures continue to cater to the American consumer’s wants and needs. Someone at GM better wake up.
I like it and wish they were offered in the US. I’m very tired of boring crossovers.
I agree. I want a CAR. Does GM think all of us fell off the face of the earth? Not everyone wants to “JUMP” into a SUV. I currently have a 2015 chevy impala ltz2. It has 68,000 miles on it. I don’t want to trade it in on a SUV.
If they can sell them for $25k in China. Surely they could be shipped here for $2-$3k each. Can you image how many of those GM could sell here for under $30k? Next question, why can’t they be built here for $30k? We already know GM US labor cost is less than 10% of the total vehicle cost. At $25k plus 10% is $27.5k which is still very affordable for a very nice car! What’s the problem GM? Your math is exposed!
I was originally advocating for the lacrosse and regal and several other vehicles ship from China… Ya they can keep this. The lacrosse was classy and the ones I see driving around still look better than even the sedans being made today
At some point, GM must realize that they must get back into the sedan market since they make decisions based off data. There are enough people in the US that still want an American sedan over a foreign sedan. If Chevy, Buick and Cadillac offers two sedans in each lineup, that’s all they need.
AGREED!!!!!
Thanks GM for discontinuing the LaCrosse in the United States. You’re morons!!! I own a 2018 and I don’t have enough fingers to count how many young people under 40 come up to me, compliment the car and ask me what kind of car it is; GIVEN GM NEVER MARKETED THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!
Camrys and Accords all over America … and GM drops the Malibu .
Can you imagine getting anything this size with the Avenir trim under $30K in the US. Even the smallest SUV (Encore) isn’t this cheap in Avenir trim.
I don’t like Buicks design direction. Like Cadillac, they have some people who don’t understand the brand (s) , buy at least it’s an automobile!
Of course not for N .America.
I will NEVER, ever , EVER buy a Crossover, or need an SUV ( at least they can do the roles intended) , and certainly no dam pick up !
Sorry people, but those nerd execute, pr old accountants, lawyers driving them to dinner are absurd
Trucks are about work, not needed by most.
The truck , Crossover NONSENSE is getting dam stale .
I don’t know ANYONE wanting one , or the follower types just buy one because ” it’s the thing now “.
As people’s passenger cars age , they will NOT be pushed into any Crossovers – pickups.
I see the foreign manufacturers advertising sedans , and thrilled.
The astounding arrogance, and ignorance of GM , Ford , and Stellantis, is mind boggling.
With their economies of scale they can easily make cars , and they did sell , only profit per vehicle wasn’t enough!
Wall Street, greed pushing them.
They are going to get a rude awaking soon .
Crossover Corvettes & Mustangs ! Insane.
Although it’s not for me, I can certainly see Buick selling enough of these in the U.S. to make it worth GM’s while. Not everyone wants an S(YOU)V!
It looks like an ugly copy of a Lexus, or the ground transportation for Cylons (Battlestar Galactica).
I had a 2010 lacrosse great exterior and interior style would have still be driving a newer one today if the morons at GM said ,,the Hell with the Americans and make it and sell it in communist china only , So no more Buick for me ..
no hybrid
no plugin
no electric
how is this model going to sell in a market where 53% of vehicles are NEV and which is increasing month after month.
No wonder, buick sales along with the cadillac & chevy sales are lesser there.
Why doesn’t Buick offer this new Lacrosse in the USA? Thereare still alot of potential customers that want a sedan like this rather than trucks, SUVs, and EVs. I still believe American car manufacturers are cutting their nose off to spite their face. Come on GM. I see all these future renderings of Chevelles, Impalas, and this Lacrosse but nothing for real.
i am very interested in this car. I love the buick lacrosse. I have a 2015 buick Lacrosse. It is a very nice car, Today I have 208,300 miles on it . And it still runs like a brand new car. I havent had any major issues with it. And I will kept it until the end before i would buy a SUV. I dont care for them. And when yoy get up in age like i am. I dont want to be bother climbing up in one. And if they would sale the 2025 buick lacrosse here. I would jump on that. or if i could order it and have it ship here i would also do that. forget about the SUV.
sell them in the USA at that price and i will buy one immediately
Buick may have to exit the Chinese market soon due to local competition.
This could replace Malibu in US and at thr right price, as a Chevy, go after Honda and Toyota
gm will have huge battles coming. Trump already said he will raise tariffs on China and now Mexico as well. Malibu recently discontinued, CT4, CT5, Corvette, base Silver/Sierra & Suburban/Yukon/Tahoe , Enclave/Acadia/Traverse, Cadillac EV are all that are left in the U.S.A0. The majority of gm vehicles are imported from China, Mexico and S. Korea.
I came here because I’ve always wanted this car.
After what our country has been through and seeing the ass kissing of China by this car manufaturer, I’m done with that dream.
WHO runs these companies? WHO allows these anti-American decisions?
Are they “trying” to commit suicide?
I’ll look to American made cars that strive to be accepted by American citizen’s!
Probably a DEI at the wheel!
This is my 4thLacrosse…obviously for a reason. I have driven 2 speed split rear dump trucks, stake body trucks, pick up trucks. I do not want an SUV. At 77 I enjoy the comfort and sleek looks of all my lacrosses.I usually trade in at 50,00-60,00 miles. No longer an option. GM, we older consumers Do NOT Want an SUV!! I e3eant a new Lacrosse. just has a dealer trying to buy my 2018. They are in demand for a reaason!!!
