2012 Buick LaCrosse in Manhattan, KS
The Buick LaCrosse is fitted with eAssist technology.
Buick has hit the timing right with the 2012 Buick LaCrosse in Manhattan, KS. With gas prices rising recently, and even higher prices expected for the summer, the LaCrosse fitted with eAssist technology is proving to be a real hit. With February sales numbers in for Buick, the figures show that one in every four LaCrosse vehicles that were sold was equipped with the Buick eAssist technology.
If you’re unfamiliar with eAssist, it is basically a system that uses a lithium-ion battery pack and small electric motor to “assist” the regular gasoline engine. It gives a boost in certain driving situations, taking the engine out of the equation, which increases gas mileage dramatically. The system on the LaCrosse also includes start-stop technology, which allows the engine to shut off when the car comes to a stop. The engine then restarts when the driver begins to lift his or her foot off of the brake pedal.
“Consumers want fewer visits to the gas pump, but they don’t want to compromise either,” Tony DiSalle, U.S. VP of Buick Marketing said. “Through intelligent technology, the LaCrosse with eAssist delivers great fuel economy without sacrificing a spacious cabin, strong acceleration, or signature Buick quietness.”
In addition to all the technology it provides, the 2012 Buick LaCrosse in Manhattan, KS is a very stylish and luxurious ride which stands out from the crowd. The luxury is something Buick owners have become accustomed to through the years. If you haven’t been a Buick owner, then it might be time for you to join the ranks or at least try it on for size with a test drive at Briggs Supercenter. We have the LaCrosse in stock now as well as a bunch of great used cars in Manhattan, Kansas.
