Buick is adding a new, more sporting version of its LaCrosse sedan to the line-up, promising feistier styling though no extra power. The 2019 Buick LaCrosse ST - or Sport Touring - keeps the 3.6-liter V6 engine and 9-speed automatic transmission of the regular LaCrosse, for its 310 horsepower and 268 lb-ft of torque.
We need to talk about Amazon Key In-Car Delivery, and not just because Amazon announced it formally this week. Today I'm going to run down 5 main points you need to be aware of, whether or not you'll be participating in Amazon's futuristic product delivery adventure. The first and most important point here is: Amazon doesn't get a copy of your car key - they don't need it.
While you were sleeping on Buick, the automaker has been quietly working on some of the most beautiful concept cars around, and its new all-electric SUV is no different. Dubbed the Buick Enspire, this latest concept will make its official debut at Auto China 2018 in Beijing later this month. However, we're hoping it soon makes the jump from theory to production.
Buick is set to roll out an all-new luxury SUV concept in China called the Enspire. The SUV is all-electric and as of now, it's not clear if the vehicle will make production. With the popularity of SUVs and the push towards electrification, there is a decent chance that the Enspire gets built.
Bye-bye Buick - or the trunk badging, anyway. The American automaker may have spent the past couple of years trying to remind car-buyers that it exists, but it's now taking the unusual step of removing some of that branding. As of Buick's 2019 model year cars, which are already beginning to arrive now, there's a big shake-up in where you'll find the company name.
The Buick Avenir is real, but don't get too excited: the first vehicle to bear the name of the new sub-brand is actually a high-luxe SUV. The 2018 Buick Enclave Avenir marks the debut of the automaker's premium offering, an attempt to squeeze even more cash out of a buyer looking for its American take on luxury. In the process, it uses a brand that has already built up a decent reputation among car aficionados.
'Room for one more?' seems to be the battle cry of automakers eager to cash in on the unrelenting popularity of SUVs, and the 2017 Buck Envision bellows this inquiry at the top of its gilded lungs. Poised to participate in the nebulous 'premium compact' segment that at any given time encapsulates offerings from Lexus, Acura, Volvo, and Lincoln, the Envision hits the ground running thanks to strong support from smaller (Encore) and larger (Enclave) sport-utility siblings in the Buick showroom.
Once a hailed as an indicator that GM had finally cracked the small car code, the Buick Verano sedan has been tapped for an early exit. Rumored for months but finally confirmed by the brand, the last Verano will roll off the assembly line this coming October.
General Motors has slammed the brakes on sales of several of its large SUVs, after discovering economy figures had been misrepresented. Sales of vehicles wearing Chevrolet, GMC, and Buick nameplates have been put on hold - affecting almost 60,000 cars - after it was realized that the EPA numbers were higher than they ought to be.
As elaborate teases go, bringing out your widely-acclaimed concept car in another stunning finish but refusing to green-light production ranks pretty high up on the list. Buick is certainly reveling in the attention the Avista concept has been receiving, and for the New York International Auto Show it has brought along a new version of the slinky coupe.
Buick has been working hard over the last year or so to make its brand appealing to younger buyers. Buicks are often thought of as the car your grandma drove, but that is changing with cars like the Avista. Buick is set to unveil another new car that will debut at the New York International Auto Show and that vehicle is the 2017 Encore.
Even in its hometown, Buick couldn't have expected to so thoroughly wow auto show attendees with its Avista concept. The brand known for being the oldest active American car maker is also the frequent butt of jokes about the age - and aged sensibilities - of its drivers, with GM stablemates Chevrolet and Cadillac left to monopolize the lion's share of technology and design.
