**Year Make Model:** The 2019 Buick LaCrosse Sport Touring hopes to appeal to a different demographic, particularly one that is younger and has deeper pockets.

**Topline:** The third generation LaCrosse made its world debut at the 2015 Los Angeles Auto Show. Buick's flagship isn't quite ready for a facelift yet and has opted to introduce a new trim to keep things fresh instead.

**What's New:** Buick is adding a sixth trim, Sport Touring, to the LaCrosse lineup. ST features color-keyed grille surround and side vents, as opposed to chrome on all other trims, a rear spoiler, mesh grille, and 19-inch aluminum wheels. Limited to just five exterior paint choices, pricing starts at $39,370, not including a $925 destination fee.

**Quotable:** “The LaCrosse ST emphasizes the importance of design, while also complementing the safety, refinement and technology of our flagship sedan,” said Phil Brook, vice president of Buick and GMC marketing.

**What You Need to Know:** Aesthetics is as far as the American carmaker is willing to go with LaCrosse ST. The foor-door uses the same 3.6-liter V6 available on other trims. This engine produces 310 horsepower and 282 pound-feet of torque. [With the average LaCrosse customer's age being over 60](<https://www.thedrive.com/new-cars/12264/the-2017-buick-lacrosse-is-the-worlds-forgotten-car>), will this new trim be enough to sway families who aren't already pursuing a crossover? Stop by your local Buick dealership to decide for yourself—the 2019 LaCrosse is on sale now.
