Overview

The 2014 Buick LaCrosse Sedan makes for an excellent contender in the midsize sedan class. With four trims on offer, the 2014 Buick LaCrosse Sedan has a base MSRP of $33,535 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 6.8 seconds, the Buick LaCrosse Sedan maintains a combined fuel economy of 20 MPG. Buick offers the LaCrosse Sedan in more than 10 stunning colors, with the Crystal Red Tintcoat being our particular favorite.
