Oshawa, Ontario (Tuesday, December 6, 2016) – The 2017 Buick LaCrosse has been recognized by the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada (AJAC) as the “Best New Large Premium Car”.

“Thanks AJAC, we’ve got our happy socks on!”, said Mike Speranzini, brand director of Buick in Canada. “Your recognition for the new Buick LaCrosse is just the latest reason customers are looking again at Buick for leadership in premium styling, quietness and connectivity.”

The 2017 LaCrosse is influenced by the dramatic cues of the award-winning Avenir concept and features a new grille design with a large opening distinguished by the return of a three-colour Buick tri-shield insignia, accented by wing-shaped elements set against darkened waterfall grille bars. Longer, lower and wider than the 2016 model, the 2017 LaCrosse is built on a stronger yet lighter structure and is offered with a new 3.6L V-6 paired to a new eight-speed automatic transmission. The all-new LaCrosse delivers advanced technology with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and OnStar 4G LTE with Wi-Fi hotspot integration.

Category winners are determined by the subjective and objective scores of over 70 of Canada’s best-known automotive journalists who gather annually in October at the Canadian Tire Motorsport Park in Clarington for a four day test drive evaluation. Referred to as “TestFest”, AJAC members drive eligible vehicles on a variety of roads that mimic the conditions that a consumer would experience in daily life.
