Toronto 2016: Here comes the 2017 Buick LaCrosse

By ,

The 2017 Buick LaCrosse was revealed for the very first time in Canada at the Canadian International Auto Show, about three months after its global debut in Los Angeles . Look for it to arrive in Canadian showrooms early this summer.

Sporting a redesigned front grille with the return of a three-colour Buick tri-shield insignia, the new LaCrosse is 136kg (300 lbs) lighter mainly due to the use of press-hardened, high-strength steels. Riding on 19” or 20” wheels, it combines a new 3.6L V6 with an 8-speed automatic transmission.

Visitors at CIAS in Toronto can also admire the new 2016 Buick Envision , GM’s first Chinese-built vehicle to be sold in North America, as well as the Avenir concept that served as inspiration for the new LaCrosse.
