The Lacrosse is now the biggest of all Buick sedans. Now featuring a modern style, it’s a clear departure from the more generic models we saw in the past. The entry-level trims come with a 4-cylinder Ecotec eAssist engine, a light hybrid, but you can boost the vehicle’s power from 182 horsepower to 303 by choosing the optional 3.6L V6. In either case, the Lacrosse comes with a 6-speed automatic transmission. Thanks to its well-equipped interior and inspired design, this is a very respectable vehicle indeed
