Vehicle Highlights

The 2010 Buick LaCrosse is redesigned with freshened styling, new engines, and new features. LaCrosse is a 4-door sedan that comes in CX, CXL, and CXS trim levels. The 2010 model is about 1 inch longer in wheelbase and about 1 inch shorter overall than the 2008 LaCrosse. All-wheel drive is newly available, but only on the CXL. CX has a standard 182-hp 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine. Available on CX and standard on CXL is a 255-hp 3.0-liter V6 engine. Note that initial 2010 LaCrosse CX models will only have the 3.0-liter V6; the 4-cylinder comes slightly later in the model year. CXS has a 280-hp 3.6-liter V6 and replaces the V8-powered Super as the top LaCrosse model. All use a 6-speed automatic transmission. Available safety features include ABS, traction control, antiskid system, curtain side airbags, and front side airbags. Blind-spot alert is also offered. CXL models have standard leather upholstery, and CXS models add heated and cooled front seats.
