2012 Buick LaCrosse Review, Price, Interior, Exterior, Engine

2012 Buick LaCrosse.
2012 Buick LaCrosse Review, Price, Interior, Exterior, Engine. - The 2012 Buick LaCrosse ranks 2 out of 6 Affordable Large Cars. This ranking is based on our analysis of 30 published reviews and test drives of the Buick LaCrosse, and our analysis of reliability and safety data. Whether you choose the fuel saving eAssist engine or the powerful V6, reviewers say the 2012 Buick LaCrosse offers comfort and luxury that’s on par with longtime luxury leaders like Lexus.

The Buick LaCrosse ups the ante with significant enhancements for the 2012 model year. A four cylinder engine and a small electric motor, which Buick calls eAssist, come as standard equipment. Power is comparable with the 2011 LaCrosse’s four-cylinder engine, but fuel economy is better. The EPA estimates that the LaCrosse eAssist gets six additional miles per gallon in both city and highway driving when compared with the 2011 model.

The 2012 Buick LaCrosse replaces its gas engine with only one augmented by an electric motor to claim a Boost of 25 percent of the fuel economy and a rating of class topping 25/37 mpg city/highway.  Nicknamed eAssist, Buick calls a “electrification of light“, not a hybrid and says that it points to the future of vehicles powered by an internal combustion engine. The LaCrosse 2012 also will continue to offer a traditional V-6 engine probably at the same price as the eAssist four cylinders. This beautiful, elegant four door will available with front and all wheel drive and is likely to remain the best selling model of Buick.

2012 Buick Regal LaCrosse will not change in the basic dimensions or proportions, regardless of whether it receives updates styling. Any changes would fall under the heading midcycle refresh, and it rarely reaches more subtle tweaks to the grille, bumper, headlamps and taillamps. Each 2012 Buick LaCrosse again sport’s chromed waterfall grille and chromed dual exhaust tips. Major styling differences will probably be limited to wheel design. 2012 LaCrosse CXS or equivalent again should use 18-inch chrome alloy wheels, CXL 17 inch alloys and CX 17 tracks steel wheels. Buick could continue this model centric approach with 2012 LaCrosse or use introduction of eAssist powertrain to begin its liquidation.

2012 Buick LaCrosse Price and Release Date :
2012 Buick LeCrosse should be in showrooms by summer 2011. Sources said Buick would give 2012 LaCrosse same basic price covering eAssist Powertrain or driving a V-6. That would suggest a starting price of around $ 32,000 before settings. Add a 2012 LaCrosse AWD with V-6 engine should cost an additional $ 2,100 or so again.

Powertrains and Performance :
The 2012 Buick LaCrosse is offered with one of two new engines. For buyers interested in maximizing miles per gallon there's the new eAssist mild hybrid powertrain, which pairs a 2.4 liter four cylinder engine with an 11 kilowatt electric motor and a lithium ion battery pack. This setup sends 182 horsepower and 172 pound feet of torque to the front wheels by way of a six speed automatic transmission. In Edmunds track testing, a LaCrosse with eAssist made the 0-60 mph dash in 9.2 seconds: a rather leisurely performance. Still, this powertrain is about efficiency, not speed, aided by clever aerodynamic improvements like automatically controlled shutters in the front grille, it delivers impressive EPA estimates of 25 mpg city/36 mpg highway and 29 mpg combined.

2012 Buick LaCrosse Interior and Exterior :
On the outside, the look is smooth and graceful, with a soft shoulder line and enough chrome to gently punctuate. The design walks a careful line that's not likely deter the brand's older core buyers, but Buick is hoping the LaCrosse will attract a younger set as well. We'd like to say that the tacky 'portholes' have been thrown to the design dustbin, too, but they return in the upper hood area.

Inside, the design feels a little more traditional, but if you let any old GM biases fall away before stepping in, it's everything a Lexus shopper might expect and more, with a modern, curvy dash design. Most notable and part of Buick's new look, really is the two tone look, with an upper dash tier that swoops around and over the dash in a continuous arc, flowing nearly into the door trim to form an interior beltline. Base CX models especially can feel just a little bit simple and plasticky, but on other models there's additional detailing and surfaces, and the ambient lighting sets a luxury like ambiance for night outings.
