Overview

Cars like the 2019 Buick LaCrosse hybrid might not be able to give you the direct benefits one might expect from its hybrid powertrain. However, its usefulness must not be overlooked. The Buick LaCrosse hybrid uses its 2.5L Inline-4 engine with a light-weight electric motor and a 24-cell Lithium-ion battery pack to produce 194 horsepower and 187 lb-ft of torque. This gives the Buick LaCrosse hybrid a 0-60 of 7.3 seconds. The hybrid engine here is to support the gasoline engine to boost performance and offer slightly better fuel economy than what a single gasoline engine would be capable of. That said, the 2019 Buick LaCrosse hybrid achieves a combined fuel economy of 29 MPG. As part of the midsize sedan segment, the Buick LaCrosse hybrid competes with the Chevrolet Malibu hybrid, the Ford Fusion hybrid, and the Honda Accord hybrid. It offers 4 trims, starting off at MSRP $29,570.

Buying Advice

For us, the Essence strikes a great balance of features and price. It comes standard with a long list of features that include wireless charging technology, adaptive headlights, leather seating, and heated and power-adjustable front seats with memory functions for the driver's seat. These are mostly the features one would want when shelling out over $30,000 looking for a comfortable ride.
