2016 Buick LaCrosse review

1. Standard Apple CarPlay integration 

New for the 2016 model year, the Buick LaCrosse is standard with Apple CarPlay connectivity. This innovative feature enables you to connect to the infotainment system and access some of the most popular apps to stream music or access navigation. As a bonus, you can also do hands-free calling and text messaging. You’ll love being able to access your phone’s key features without needing to take your eyes off the road.  

2. Variety of engine options  

The optional V6 engine provides ample power for those looking for extra grunt. The 3.6L engine offers 306 horsepower and 264 lb-ft of torque paired to a six-speed automatic transmission. Alternatively, a hybrid is standard and, although less powerful with 182 horsepower, may be the better option if you're looking for something more frugal as it can reach an EPA-estimated 36 mpg on the highway.

3. Beautiful cabin 

The 2016 Buick LaCrosse offers a cabin that includes a beautiful design, high-end materials such as available semi-aniline leather seating, and technology features that are among the best on the market. The features offered include navigation, a sunroof, driver aids such as adaptive cruise control, and heated and ventilated front seats. There is no shortage of options to ensure your ride is extremely comfortable.  

4. Parking is easy 

Parking doesn't have to be a headache in a car as large as the Buick LaCrosse, but Buick has made it easy for you by leveraging technology. In addition to a rearview camera to help you see where you are going, the LaCrosse offers rear parking sensors to make backing up a breeze. Another option includes a rear cross-traffic alert system to alert you of traffic you may not be able to see when navigating a tight parking spot.  

5. Winter ready 

It’s always good to have extra traction in winter conditions, and the LaCrosse offers all-wheel drive as an available option. Inside the cabin, the LaCrosse is well equipped to handle cold temperatures with options such as heated front seats and a heated steering wheel. If you live in a climate that sees cool temps, you'll appreciate these winter-ready features.
