The 2013 Buick LaCrosse eAssist doesn’t offer the Volkswagen Passat TDI’s value or the high-end Lexus ES 300h’s fuel economy, but Cars.com reviewer Jennifer Geiger says it “pleasantly” splits the difference between practicality and price. The mild hybrid version of Buick’s largest sedan improves gas mileage with its lithium-ion battery pack and 15-kilowatt electric motor combined with a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine; the result is seamless acceleration and a “pillowy” ride. While the LaCrosse’s lush interior draws nearer to “luxury” than “near-luxury” competitors, backseat comfort and cargo space may necessitate hanging on to that hyphen.
