Vehicle Details: Buick has introduced the 2019 LaCrosse Sport Touring model, targeting a newer and more affluent customer base.
Overview: Unveiled at the 2015 Los Angeles Auto Show, the third generation LaCrosse is staying current by introducing a fresh trim rather than undergoing a major design update.
What’s Different: The latest addition to the LaCrosse lineup is the Sport Touring (ST) trim. This variant boasts a unique color-keyed grille surround and side vents, a rear spoiler, mesh grille, and 19-inch aluminum wheels. Limited to just five paint options, prices start at $39,370 before a $925 destination fee.
Notable Quote: “The LaCrosse ST highlights the significance of design, while enhancing the safety, sophistication, and technology of our flagship sedan,” expressed Phil Brook, the vice president of Buick and GMC marketing.
Key Points: Buick’s focus with the LaCrosse ST is primarily on its aesthetics. Under the hood, it shares the same 3.6-liter V6 engine found in other trims, delivering 310 horsepower and 282 pound-feet of torque. Given that the typical LaCrosse buyer is older than 60, will this fresh trim be sufficient to attract families who are not currently considering a crossover?
