T h i s c l a s s i s n o a c t.

Carrying the name Buick means Lucerne has been well thought out. Every line polished. Every technology purposefully precise. all performance optimized. we designed and engineered Lucerne to form a more intelligent luxury sedan. Not show- off smart, just life- enhancing, premium, easy-to - use technologies. With this kind of beauty, power and brains, all we can say is — the New Class of World Class is now in session.

Within Lucerne, motion is generated two ways. Its standard FlexFuel 3.9L 227-hp V-6 engine generates 237 lb-ft of torque and runs on gasoline or E85,1 a blend of 85 percent ethanol and 15 percent gasoline. The second option is the available all-aluminum 32- valve Northstar 4.6L V-8 powering the Lucerne Super model. Its legendary status is proven with 292 hp, 288 lb-ft of torque and quick acceleration with plenty of reserve power. They’re both mated to a smooth-shifting, electronically tuned automatic transmission. For the ultimate in convenience, Lucerne can be started from nearly 200 feet away with an available remote starter system. 1Go

It ’s a q u i c k s t u dy.

Being behind the wheel of the Lucerne Super model means Magnetic Ride Control (MRC) is working for you. It speed-reads the road up to 1,000 times per second, adjusting damper settings to heighten wheel contact, giving you tight handling and a fluid ride — something Infiniti G37 or Lexus ES 350 can’t do. Dynamic handling also comes from the four-wheel independent suspension with full-range traction control and StabiliTrak, an electronic stability control system. StabiliTrak constantly monitors Lucerne to help retain traction and assist you in maintaining your steering path for optimal control.

It c u t s q u i t e a p r o f i l e.

Its angled windshield and roofline grab plenty of attention — except from the wind. Designed to slice through the air, Lucerne goes with the flow. Finely sculpted lines encircle Lucerne while highlighting chrome portholes and a waterfall grille, signatures of the Buick design philosophy. Wraparound headlamps with high-intensity tungsten-halogen bulbs not only illuminate the road, but Lucerne’s design as well.
