A heated war is being waged in the automotive market. Years of erratic gas prices and economic weakness have left an indelible mark on the car industry, forcing manufacturers into a fuel-economy battle like no other. The latest new contender in this battle is the 2012 Buick LaCrosse. Buick's luxury sedan outguns vehicles like the Cadillac CTS, Lincoln MKZ Hybrid, Acura TL and Toyota Camry Hybrid, with a new secret weapon hidden under the hood. The LaCrosse now includes a hybrid version called eAssist, which features an advanced gasoline-electric engine that trumps non-hybrid segment competitors and rivals small cars and expensive hybrids. With a major redesign of the Buick 2010 LaCrosse, the new 2011 model was already set to sail ahead of the competition. The 2011 Buick LaCrosse was built on the same great design premise as its 2010 ascendant, but it sported its own unique identity and significant new features. This year, the 2012 Buick LaCrosse adds even more ammo to its arsenal with a hybrid option. In a past Buick LaCrosse review, the Los Angeles Times boldly stated that the vehicle "was built to put the cross-hairs on a single bogie, the Lexus ES350, and . . . it blows the Lexus out of the sky. Pow. Parachute. Smoking crater." Now, the 2012 LaCrosse from AZ Car Central is blowing away competitors in and out of its segment.
The LaCrosse is now available in seven trim levels. The 2012 LaCrosse eAssist comes in Base, Convenience Group, Leather Group and Premium I Group trims. The sedan version includes these models and adds a Premium II Group, Premium III Group and Touring Group. Phoenix car shoppers can find these eye-catching Buick cars in brilliant colors like White Diamond Tricoat, Midnight Blue Metallic, Gold Mist Metallic and Carbon Black Metallic. Phoenix Buick drivers desiring optimal power may choose the non-hybrid sedan. It comes with a new, more powerful 3.6-liter V6 engine that generates 303 horsepower and 264 pound-feet of torque. A six-speed automatic transmission is standard and the vehicle is available in all-wheel or front-wheel drive. Consumers who are interested in getting maximized fuel economy can hop into the hybrid Lacrosse eAssist. This fuel-saving car is equipped with a 2.4-liter Ecotec direct-injection engine and next-generation six-speed automatic transmission. The engine comes with a 15-kilowatt motor-generator unit and 115V lithium-ion battery pack. This gasoline-electric system gets an impressive 182 horsepower and 172 pound-feet of torque and comes standard with front-wheel drive.
Read any Buick LaCrosse review and you will see the word "luxury" appears over and over again. The Base model comes with some astonishing amenities for a lower-level trim, including advanced features like: a power driver seat, dual-zone automatic climate control, keyless entry, Bluetooth, OnStar and 17-inch alloy wheels. Convenience Group owners will enjoy these features and more. This next-level trim adds an auto-dimming rearview mirror, power lumbar adjustment and remote ignition.
