Used 2017 Buick LaCrosse Sedan Trims Comparison
Trim level differences
The 2017 Buick LaCrosse is a full-size sedan that offers the serene ride that shoppers have come to expect from the luxury-oriented brand. The LaCrosse is powered by a 3.6-liter V6 engine (310 horsepower, 282 pound-feet of torque) paired to an eight-speed automatic transmission. It's loaded with amenities in the base LaCrosse trim level (also called 1SV), but more luxury, safety, and technology features can be added in the Preferred, Essence and top-tier Premium trims. All come standard with front-wheel drive, but the Premium can be equipped with an advanced all-wheel-drive system.
Which LaCrosse trim does Edmunds recommend?
We think the base (1SV) Buick LaCrosse is the best bang for your buck. It's loaded with features such as xenon headlights, a rearview camera, a user-friendly touchscreen, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The next step up is the Preferred trim, which is substantially more expensive and adds a rather meager number of extra features. If you absolutely want luxuries such as heated seats and real leather upholstery, you can jump straight to the Essence or Premium. Consider equipping those trims with the Dynamic Drive package for a more rewarding driving experience.
