On the inside, you will find new seats, “enhanced” materials and a redesigned center stack that includes GM’s Intellilink infotainment system.

A slew of safety features have been packed into the new LaCrosse, including side blind zone alert, lane change alert, lane departure warning, forward collision alert, rear cross traffic alert and automatic collision preparation. Linked up to these systems is GM’s safety alert seat, which gently vibrates to warn the driver of upcoming collisions. Adaptive cruise control is also newly available for the 2014 LaCrosse.
For powertrains, the LaCrosse can be fitted with either a 2.4-liter four cylinder E-Assist mild hybrid that makes 182 hp and 172 lb-ft of torque, or a 3.6-liter V6 that puts out 304 hp and 264 lb-ft of torque.
