The Avenir variant of the 2018 Buick LaCrosse sedan represents the highest expression of Buick luxury. It features unique styling cues, an extensive set of standard features and exclusive premium materials for customers who want more.
The LaCrosse Avenir expands the Avenir sub-brand as the second Buick vehicle to receive the Avenir treatment, after the 2018 Buick Enclave Avenir that went on sale in October 2017.
“Nine out of ten LaCrosse buyers are choosing one of the top two trim levels — customers are signaling they want more from Buick,” said Duncan Aldred, vice president of Global Buick and GMC. “With even more content and an elegant look, Avenir adds a unique name and appearance for those who want the best of our attainable luxury.”
Features

Buick says that the LaCrosse Avenir’s design details were channeled from its award-winning concept cars such as the Buick Avenir concept and Buick Avista concept for a more dramatic look.

- Unique three-dimensional mesh upper and lower grille with chrome wings

“Exterior styling is very important to LaCrosse buyers, and its sculpted beauty withstands passing trends,” says Bob Boniface, global director of Buick Exterior Design. “For Avenir, we focused on maintaining the timelessness of the LaCrosse, while giving these customers subtle and tasteful details that elevate this car to a new level.”
