The Buick LaCrosse is a mid-size sedan that competes with the Lexus ES350, the Acura TL, the Hyundai Genesis, and the Infiniti G37. For 2010, the LaCrosse received a complete redesign, and Buick says the new model has sharper handling, a richer overall appearance, a more luxurious interior, and a quieter ride.
The 2010 LaCrosse is offered in the CX, CXL, and CXS trim levels. Standard equipment on the base model includes 17-in. steel wheels and basic amenities, including a seven-speaker sound system. Options packages add dual-zone climate control, auto-dimming mirrors, Bluetooth connectivity, driver’s seat power lumbar support, and remote vehicle start.
The CXL includes the CX’s optional features and adds 18-in. wheels, heated front seats, and leather upholstery. Additional options for the CXL include rear parking sensors, driver memory settings, and a luxury package that adds upgraded seats and steering wheel, keyless ignition, and an 11-speaker Harman Kardon surround-sound audio system. The CXS has 19-in. alloy wheels, and includes all the CXL’s options as standard. Options packages available with the CXL and CSX can add a hard-drive-based navigation system, rear-seat entertainment, rear-view camera, and blind-spot alert capability.
The front-wheel-drive CX has a 182-hp 2.4-liter inline four-cylinder engine as standard equipment. The CXL gets a 255-hp 3.0-liter V6 engine and is available in front-wheel or all-wheel drive. The front-wheel-drive CXS has a 280-hp 3.6-liter V6 engine. The EPA rates the 3.6-liter V6 at 17 mpg in the city, 26 mpg highway, and 20 mpg combined. All models receive a six-speed automatic transmission. Anti-lock disc brakes, stability and traction control, and front and side curtain airbags are standard.
Base MSRP for the 2010 Buick LaCrosse was about $27,835.
