Pros: Impressive fuel economy with 4-cylinder engine; touchscreen infotainment system; comfortable, upscale interior
Cons: Rear visibility is restricted by thick roof pillars and small rear window; middling acceleration with 4-cylinder engine
CG Says: For 2015, Buick’s large car receives an updated Intellilink infotainment system that includes Text Messaging Alerts and Siri Eyes Free functionality for Apple iPhone users. Also new are four-way-adjustable front-seat headrests and OnStar with 4G LTE Internet connectivity and a built-in Wi-Fi hotspot. Additionally, the rearview camera system is now a standard feature. We consider the LaCrosse a large car, while GM thinks it competes against premium-midsize entries such as the Lexus ES 350. LaCrosse acquits itself very well in both segments, though maybe not against sportier models like the Chrysler 300 or Acura TL. Shoppers who are looking at any car in this price class would do well to give LaCrosse a close look.
