2010 buick lucerne review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. Big, comfortable, luxurious and a good value. introductionthe buick lucerne is a highly competent sedan with smooth, clean lines and driving manners to match. Underway, it's smooth and quiet, with precise steering and a chassis that handles winding roads with grace and security. Inside, it's elegant, comfortable and easy to operate. It's a very luxurious car, and at a price that represents a commendable value. the buick lucerne is a full-size, premium sedan with front-wheel drive and a standard v6 engine. The lucerne cx is a traditional buick, with the premium ride suspension maximized for cushioned comfort. The lucerne cxl comes with a firmer (but certainly not at all harsh) ride and handling suspension, and is positioned to compete with the toyota avalon and lexus es 350. We found it a very enjoyable car to drive, with agile handling and plenty of performance. The cxl special edition adds numerous trim and convenience features. The super is the top of the lucerne line and includes a v8 engine and magnetic ride control, a sophisticated adaptive suspension with responsive handling. advanced safety systems are available on all models. Lane departure warning uses a camera to warn drivers of inadvertent lane changes. Stabilitrak, which includes the function of traction control, and brake assist are offered as well. for 2010, the changes are relatively minor. The super receives a new optional 18-inch chrome wheel, the entire line-up gets the rocker panels and fog lamps from the super model, bluetooth is available on the base model, the instrument panel gauges are backlit, and there are some revised interior treatments and new exterior colors. buick has a long history of innovative engineering, handsomely conservative styling, and premium luxury at below-premium prices.

Six-passenger seating is available on the cx and cxl by ordering front bench seats 295). safety features on all models include six airbags: a dual-stage driver's front airbag and a dual-depth front-passenger airbag, front-seat side-impact airbags, and full-coverage side-curtain airbags. The front seatbelts come with pretensioners to enhance the effectiveness of the airbags. Traction control, anti-lock brakes, and a tire pressure monitor are standard on all models. The lucerne has a handsome appearance with a good stance thanks to its long wheelbase and wide track. The classic, buick waterfall grille blends in well with the large integrated headlamps. The side profile, with its steeply raked windshield, is reminiscent of several recently introduced european sedans such as the vw passat and audi a6. The rear of the lucerne features a high trunk line with nicely integrated tail lamps. chrome trim is kept to a minimum. In addition to the grille, the only stylistic link to buicks of old is the row of small portholes on each of the front fenders. Flashback to the fifties, when more-powerful buicks had more holes. The grille bars turn sharply inward at the top, giving more definition to the waterfall effect. Below the grille, the look is more familiar, with twin lower air intakes accentuated by chrome slashes that seem to point to the outboard foglights. the smaller main grille of the cx and cxl is finer in texture and is chrome. The twin lower air intakes on these models hide behind horizontal grillwork cut into the lower bumper. the buick lucerne is built on the same platform as the cadillac dts and benefits from modern build techniques for a quiet luxury car. These include hydroformed frame rails for a stiffer body and the use of laminated steel with plenty of sound-deadening material placed in strategic locations. The individual front seats provide a good level of comfort and come with an armrest in the center console. rear-seat passengers are well taken care of with good headroom and excellent leg room. The lucerne's long wheelbase allows for a wide-opening rear door with almost no intrusion from the wheel well, making it easy to get in and out of the car. Onstar with turn-by-turn service is standard and allows customers to talk to a live advisor who downloads complete step-by-step directions to the vehicle through the onstar system. Audio directions are then automatically played through the vehicle's stereo as they are needed, triggered by the onstar system's gps capabilities. Drivers can be directed to their destinations without having to take their hands from the wheel or eyes from the road. New onstar enav allows a subscriber to find and save destinations on mapquest. Com, and have those destinations sent to the vehicle's onstar system. a touch-screen navigation system is also available, giving the lucerne driver the best of both worlds. New onstar destination download enables onstar subscribers with screen-based navigation to quickly input their destinations via the press of a button; while new xm navtraffic (available in 80 major north american markets) delivers real-time information about accidents, traffic backups, and road construction directly to the navigation screen. With or without navigation, all lucernes come w.
