Other exciting features that are included as standard with the Avenir trim include the Sun and Shade Package, Sight and Sounds Package, and an 11-speaker Bose sound system.

Lacrosse

Starting Price: $29,565 Standard Engine: 2.5L 4-cylinder with eAssist light electrification technology

For entertainment technology, an 8-inch color touchscreen is included for use with the Buick Infotainment System – this is a luxurious feature compared to others in its class that typically come standard with a smaller sized touchscreen display. For safety, drivers can feel confident with standard features like LED daytime running lamps, the StabiliTrak traction control system, a full airbag system, rear park assist, and a rearview camera.

Essence

Starting Price: $36,370 Standard Engine: 3.6L V6 engine, with 9-speed automatic transmission.

Action shot taken during the small overlap frontal crash test.

The dummy’s position in relation to the door frame, steering wheel, and instrument panel after the crash test indicates that the driver’s survival space was maintained very well.

The dummy’s head contacted the frontal airbag but slid partway off the left side, allowing the head to move toward the gap in coverage between the frontal and side curtain airbags.

The driver’s space was maintained well, and risk of injuries to the dummy’s legs and feet was low.
