2014 Buick LaCrosse: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026

About the 2014 Buick LaCrosse
2nd generation (2010-2016), major 2014 refresh
Buick positioned the LaCrosse as a large sedan built around quiet comfort, easy highway travel, and a more upscale feel than a typical mainstream family car. The main draw was its calm cabin, soft ride, roomy interior, and upscale design, with available AWD and an eAssist mild-hybrid setup adding extra variety. Buyers chose it for comfort and smoothness more than sharp handling or an overtly sporty character.
The refreshed base LaCrosse emphasizes everyday comfort with dual-zone climate control, a power driver's seat, remote start, and two 8-inch displays. Leather adds heated leather-appointed seats, while Premium I combines the V6 with heated and ventilated front seats. Premium II is the top comfort-and-tech trim, with navigation and upgraded leather seating as standard equipment.
What changed, by category
Styling
Buick redesigned the front and rear with a revised grille, hood, rear deck, and wraparound LED taillamps. Active grille shutters became standard across the lineup. Fog lights became optional on Leather, Premium I, and Premium II; alloy wheels became optional on Premium I and standard on Premium II.
Tech
The redesigned cabin gained new seats, upgraded materials, a standard 8-inch configurable driver display, and an updated 8-inch IntelliLink touchscreen with voice control, Bluetooth, and USB connectivity. Navigation became standard on Premium II.
Safety
New option packages added radar- and camera-based driver-assistance features; they were not standard across the lineup.
