2006 Buick Lucerne Sedan

For 2006, Lucerne replaces the LeSabre at the top of Buick’s model lineup. This front-wheel-drive luxury sedan shares a platform and a V-8 engine with the Cadillac DTS, and is the first V-8-powered Buick passenger car in a decade. Compared to the LeSabre, Lucerne offers a two-inch-longer wheelbase, resulting in a smoother ride and greater comfort inside (even though the Lucerne is actually 3.5 inches shorter than the model it replaces.) A number of Buick firsts are seen on the Lucerne, including use of GM’s Magnetic Ride Control, StabiliTrak with brake assist, heated and cooled front seats, and a heated windshield washer system.
