Narrow year range (drag arrows to filter):
Changes for 2009 are plentiful and include a new, 3.9-liter V6 engine on the CX and CXL trims. This engine is FlexFuel capable and provides an additional 30 horsepower and better fuel economy than last year's 3.8-liter V6. Both CX and CXL models receive a host of new standard features. CX trims gain cornering lamps, a six-way power passenger seat and heated side mirrors, while the CXL adds eight-way heated front seats with power lumbar support, a heated leather steering wheel and side mirror turn indicators.
The big news for 2008 is the rekindling of the Super name, which accompanies a more powerful version of the CXS trim's Northstar V8 engine, revised suspension tuning and unique interior design themes. New options include a Side Blind Zone Alert system that warns of vehicles in the driver's blind spot and a Lane Departure Warning system.
The Lucerne is Buick's flagship sedan. Replacing the long-running Park Avenue, the Lucerne shuns the soft ride and geriatric image once associated with Buicks and moves the division into a realm populated by such formidable names as Lexus, Acura and Lincoln. Sharing a common platform with the Cadillac DTS, the Lucerne is offered in three trim levels, each offering a different blend of ride comfort, performance and handling. The Lucerne's spacious cabin is awash in fine materials and displays an exemplary attention to detailit's also the quietest Buick interior every produced. Buyers can opt for a fuel-efficient V6 or a potent 275-horspower Northstar V8, as well as GM's Magnetic Ride Control suspension (CXS trim) to transform the Lucerne from stately boulevard coach to agile touring sedan.
