Overview

The 2013 Buick LaCrosse makes for an excellent contender in the midsize sedan class. With 4 trims on offer, the 2013 Buick LaCrosse Sedan has a base MSRP of $35,285 competing directly with the Lexus ES 350, the Nissan Maxima, and the Lincoln MKZ. Only a 3.6L V6 engine is offered, mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. Together, they produce 303 horsepower and 264 lb-ft of torque. Accelerating from 0-60 in 6.9 seconds, the Buick LaCrosse Sedan maintains a combined fuel economy of 21 MPG. Buick offers the LaCrosse Sedan in more than 9 stunning colors, with the Storm Gray Metallic being a particular favorite of ours.

Buying Advice

The 2013 LaCrosse is available in four trims. It's best to go with Leather Group trim out of the four. The Leather trim features leather upholstery, heated front seats, rear parking sensors, and a rearview camera.
