Buick has given its flagship model LaCrosse a complete redesign for the 2017 year model. After that a major upgrade under the hood took place on 2018, that welcomed a new hybrid powertrain in the lineup that was powered with a 2.5-liter inline-4 engine to work as an alternative to the electric motor.

For those who gets tempted with a more exciting performance, Buick offers a few models with all-wheel drive configuration that sports a 9-speed automatic to couple with the available 3.6-liter V-6 engine.
