Autos.ca video test-drive of the 2017 Buick LaCrosse Premium AWD. This one stands out as a highly competent long-haul cruiser that's big on quiet and comfort.
I purchased a fully loaded 2017 Lacrosse with the premium trim level and couldn't be happier. I absolutely love the way it rides and handles, especially with the sport setting on. It has so many options I'm having a blast learning them all. It is by far the quietest, best riding, and best driving car I have ever owned. It handles like a dream on any road I’ve throw at it, has plenty of power, gets excellent gas mileage and is super comfortable on long trips. And I think it is the most stylish car on the market, not gaudy but sophisticated in its looks and styling. I tested a number of competitive models from Lexus, Kia, Hyundai, Nissan, Acura, BMW and Lincoln and they just didn't compare to this car on features for the price and in many other ways. Anyone wanting a luxurious, quiet, great handling car, with plenty of power may want to take a look at the Lacrosse!
The Avalon would be on my list if it had AWD. There is only one thing I wish the LaCrosse had and that was 3 more speakers and 300 more watts of power.
I just discovered your video's, Justin. While this was filmed 6 mos. ago, I really appreciated the review. I've been considering the Lacrosse for several months now. Thanks for the video reviews you offer.
I have a 2010 lacrosse 143 000 km Never ever seen snow... Mint condition... Looks like a new car ! I love it !!! In about 5 years I would love to pick up a 2017 model up.
The new LaCrosse looks pretty good, the rear end could use some more love though. Also, while the interior is generally nice, that large slab of black plastic that flows up to the center stack looks kind of blah. Nice all rounder though.
Nice job here, Justin. Always enjoy your thorough, but fast-moving reviews. Nice car too. Good at its intended purpose. Now, if only GM will see fit to put the (404 hp) 3.0TT V6 from the Cadi CT6 under the hood of a Lacrosse SS. It's already got the suspension and light weight to make more than good use of a power upgrade. C'mon, GM! Give those of us hitting the big 4-oh this year something to aspire to...
I have a 2014 premium this car is beautiful no sun roof I'm bold perfect but have everything In it and more red exterior and tan chocolate interior leather heated and air seats it goes on and on and power in this car wow great car👍👍
KingsofShadows1500 But most folks in the US and Canada are going to say 'coupe', as in 'coop'. That's the way it's always been and there's no need or desire to say 'coo-pay'.
John Smythe It really doesn't matter what most people will say; ''coop'' is the wrong way of saying it. It's ''coupé''. Saying it any other way makes you wrong.
Yeah, KingofShadows, it DOES matter what people say. They don't see it as a French word, and when told, don't give a shit. So we're 'wrong' per proper French? What have we lost? The English call the word 'aluminium' and Americans say 'aluminum'. Nobody is gonna change and what have we lost? Thats some shit you need to let go of, because, again, nobody will change.
John Smythe No, it does not. Language has rules and those rules are meant to be followed. It's not about losing anything; it's simply about correct pronunciation. Incorrect pronunciation is annoying and makes me and many other people cringe, so I don't care whether people will change or not: I will still call them out for saying words the wrong way (at least when it's socially acceptable, which means online). Your logic doesn't make sense; it's basically saying that we should just give up and adjust language according to popular mistakes. If we applied that mentality to grammar and spelling, no language would be recognizable fifty years from now. What's so hard about making one bit of extra effort and learning how to spell or pronounce words properly?
KingofShadows Again, like it or not, Americans who speak Standard American English, are not bound by the rules of the French language. We've called coupes 'coops' for so long, we're NEVER GOING TO CHANGE. You coming on here with 'coo-pay' clearly hasn't garnered much support. Nobody cares. Per the rules of Queens English, we should call four door cars 'saloons' but instead call them 'sedans'. Does that get you up in arms? My logic makes perfect sense, and just because you disagree doesn't mean I'm wrong. Does this debating style ever work for you? I doubt it. You mentioned 'no language would be recognizable fifty years from now'. Well guess what? English from the 1700s is so completely different from now, it's almost unrecognizable. Languages CHANGE, or didn't you know that? Get over your attempts to play Internet English Teacher (French Specialty). Nobody will change.

I am jealous....if I had the cash I would buy one too....good for you!
We have a Buick Envision 2.0T and no one can compete on quality, ride, quietness, or price.
How's your experience so far owing the Lacrosse? I'm seriously considering purchasing a 2017 model with AWD, I'm 38yrs of are.
I actually kinda like the rear end of it
Why did the US stop selling sedans…..something nefarious is happening. Don’t say there isn’t a market people,haven’t stop buying sedans .
Love my 2017 LaCrosse!
Is the LaCrosse still doing well for you?
Nice Buick. good job. I like it better than the toyota
Paul Melnychuk This competes with Lexus and usually the Buick wins. Toyota competes with Chevrolet.
I bought a 2015 Lacrosse a couple of months ago. This 2017 is a beast.
My 2011 Awd looks much better then 13 and up 2017
The Avalon would be on my list if it had AWD. There is only one thing I wish the LaCrosse had and that was 3 more speakers and 300 more watts of power.

Excellent review. Wardrobe change and you are at the level few attain. Will be looking for more from you.
How did you get the adaptive suspension and 18" wheels. That combo isn't sold...
This car doesn't have the sport button or the 20 inch wheels so it doesn't have the dynamic drive package.
I have a 2010 lacrosse 143 000 km
Never ever seen snow... Mint condition... Looks like a new car !
I love it !!! In about 5 years I would love to pick up a 2017 model up.
David Doonan my Mom has 68K miles on her 2011 Lacrosse 2.4l and it rides very well. Handles well too with lighter 4-cylibder up front.
Beats the Lexus ES in almost every comparison they go together.
The new LaCrosse looks pretty good, the rear end could use some more love though. Also, while the interior is generally nice, that large slab of black plastic that flows up to the center stack looks kind of blah. Nice all rounder though.
Great video!
Thanks for the review, this is very helpful since I am considering getting it today.
Nice job here, Justin. Always enjoy your thorough, but fast-moving reviews. Nice car too. Good at its intended purpose.

The Taurus sho and CT5 seem like good alternatives but will probably cost 50-60k . At that price I'd consider Hyundai 5.0 or Mercede

Is it still the early 2000s in Canada? I can't tell by the guys outfit.
It's just a outfit what 😂
For some reason i hate that rear end. Other wise pretty great buick👍🏽
Excellent review. do you read your script? Also. Great sunglasses. What kind?
What's a script? Nah, I just wing it. Those are my Oakley Twoface glasses with polarized driving lens. Love em! Cheers
his is the sedan I need/want.
Would you prefer this vehicle or the 2019 Chevrolet Malibu Lt? Or which car is better than one another?
Change the background music it sucks the review was great
Friend of mine bought one...nice car. Too bad they stop making it along with the Impala.
They should make these available with some Cadillac undergoodies. That hipster doofus look is killing you.
😂😂😂😂

How much does it price 4 Sir?
CoupÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉ! It's pronounced ''coupÉ'', for fuck's sake! It comes from the French word ''coupé'', which means ''cut'' (past participle).
