2014 Buick LaCrosse revealed

After almost four years on sale, Buick has given its flagship LaCrosse a facelift, an updated interior and some extra equipment.

Available specification for the 2014 LaCrosse includes adaptive cruise control together with a range of camera- and radar-based safety systems such as rear cross traffic alert, lane departure warning and side blind zone alert.
