Freshened front-end styling, a sculpted exterior, and a new high-powered Super model highlight the changes to the 2008 Buick LaCrosse.

Available in four trim lines – CX, CXL, CXS, and Super – the LaCrosse has ample power courtesy of three lively engines. The standard 200-horsepower 3.8 liter V6 engine supplies adequate acceleration, while the lightweight 3.6 liter V6 engine offers a nice bump up to 240 horsepower with sprightly pickup. With the new Super trim line, a 5.3 liter V8 engine is offered pumping out 300 horsepower for effortless thrust. The V8 also features Active Fuel Management, which deactivates cylinders to save fuel at highway speeds.

Safety features include standard anti-lock brakes with traction control to minimize wheel lockup and enhance traction on slippery surfaces. Dual front airbags, dual side-impact airbags, and head-curtain side-impact airbags protect both rows of passengers in a collision. CXS and Super models feature StabiliTrak stability control that enhances vehicle control and handling in emergency maneuvers.

Available 5-passenger leather-appointed heated seats are the perfect wintertime companions. Available magnetic variable-assist power steering adjusts steering effort based on speed, which in turn increases on-road feel. Dual-zone climate control is also available with individual controls for driver and front passenger. Super models add standard Ultrasonic Parking Assist, which uses sonar to detect objects behind the vehicle to make parallel parking a snap. The LaCrosse also touts Buick’s QuietTuning, which incorporates enhanced tire and exhaust tuning, along with dense acoustic materials to create a very quiet and serene in-cabin environment. Standard OnStar® includes a one-year Directions & Connections plan, which features Turn-by-Turn Navigation for superior directions on your journey.

With a new shot of power this year, the 2008 Buick LaCrosse is more powerful than ever, yet retains its all-purpose flexibility and superior comfort.
