1992-1999 Buick LeSabre: Year-to-Year Changes

1993 Buick LeSabre: Antilock brakes become standard across the board. In addition, an optional traction-control system is available on Limited models.

1994 Buick LeSabre: Dual airbags become standard equipment in all LeSabres. Traction control on the 1994 Limited is revised so it reduces engine speed, in addition to applying braking power. In addition, the parking brake release handle has been eliminated. Other changes to the controls in the LeSabre include an inch of extra travel for the front power seat and a trunk release button than can be operated with the ignition off.

1995 Buick LeSabre: New climate controls, a new family of radios, and optional steering-wheel controls for the stereo and climate system are the major revisions to the 1995 LeSabre. With the optional automatic climate control, the number of buttons has been reduced from 14 to nine, and a recirculation mode has been added.

1996 Buick LeSabre: A new standard engine, the 3800 Series II V6, available in the 1994 Park Avenue last year, makes its way underneath the hood of the 1996 LeSabre. It produces 205 horsepower, 35 more than the old 3800 V6. The engine also has new coolant, spark plugs, and transmission, designed to last five years or 100,000 miles. Finally, the LeSabre has a new remote keyless entry system called Personal Choice (standard on the Limited, extra on the Custom) with a transmitter that automatically adjusts the security system, door locks, lighting, and other accessories to one of two settings. An antenna mounted in the rear window also comes standard.

1997 Buick LeSabre: LeSabre was restyled and released in January 1996 as an early 1997 model. The basic shape was retained, but there were numerous minor appearance changes including a restyled grille, hood, front and rear fascias, and bodyside moldings. The interior also got a similar restyle. Dual airbags and antilock brakes remained standard.

1998 Buick LeSabre: With a restyle in 1997, LeSabre saw little change for '98.

1999 Buick LeSabre: LeSabre celebrated its 40th anniversary in '99 and continued as Buick's best-selling model and the most-popular full-size car sold in America. Changes were few as an all-new model was scheduled to arrive for 2000.
