When Buick introduced the 2015 Buick Avenir concept at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show, most enthusiasts, including some of us here at Top Speed, began fantasizing about a flagship sedan (the Electra and Park Avenue come to mind) that would finally give the brand a weapon for the luxury market. On the other hand, we knew there was a big chance the Avenir would remain just a concept and Buick’s latest announcement about the next-generation LaCrosse confirms just that.
There is some good news though. The 2017 LaCrosse, which will make its public debut at the 2015 Los Angeles Auto Show in November, will sport design cues inspired by the Avenir concept. The brand released a teaser showing the sedan’s front grille to prove it and said it’s a face all Buick vehicles will adopt by 2018. This doesn’t necessarily mean that Buick isn’t pondering a full-size sedan, but even if not, the new design language should be exciting.
“The Avenir concept shattered expectations of what a Buick could be and the 2017 LaCrosse promises to do the same. Its expressive design represents a break from convention and highlights the progressiveness in all new Buick models," said Duncan Aldred, vice president of Buick.
Very little is known about the new LaCrosse at this point, but Buick’s teaser and brief press release do reveal a few important details about the upcoming sedan. Keep reading for more.
