1992-1999 Buick LeSabre: Overview

Vehicle Highlights

The redesigned 1992 LeSabre incorporated a more rounded look, with oval grille; wraparound headlamps, parking lamps, and side markers; and a reduction in the amount of exterior brightwork. LeSabre was still based on the same chassis as the Oldsmobile Eighty-Eight and Pontiac Bonneville. Measuring a full 200 inches, the new LeSabre was three inches longer than before, and showed gains in both interior room and cargo space. The interior borrowed many of the features found in the larger and plusher Park Avenue, including a standard driver-side airbag in a tilt steering wheel, GM's Pass-Key theft-deterrent system, child-proof rear door locks, and standard power windows. Antilock brakes came standard on the Limited. The other major change was the elimination of the slow-selling LeSabre 2-door. A check under the hood reveals a completely revised powertrain. The 3.8-liter V6 got more power, delivering 170 horsepower and 220 pound-feet of torque. It also came mated to a new electronic 4-speed automatic transmission.
