New Buck LaCrosses in Buffalo NY

Good news for Buffalo Buick drivers from West Herr Buick: A fuel-efficient, direct injected Ecotec 2.4L four-cylinder engine is now the standard engine in the 2011 Buick LaCrosse CX luxury sedan.

As Buick continues its transformation, new products like the 2.4L-powered LaCrosse CX are helping New York drivers get a fuel-efficient option that’s simply not available from the competition.

Direct injection technology helps the Ecotec 2.4L deliver 182 horsepower (136 kW) and 172 lb-ft. of torque (233 Nm). The injection of fuel directly into the combustion chamber enables a higher compression ratio to increase efficiency and horsepower. That means more power is made with less fuel and lower emissions.

In fact, cold-start emissions are reduced by up to 25 percent with direct injection. Engineers tuned the engine to deliver greater torque at lower rpm and build it smoothly toward its peak at 4,900 rpm, giving the 2011 Buick LaCrosse excellent performance in all driving conditions.

The Ecotec 2.4L diversifies the LaCrosse’s powertrain lineup. For 2011, the current 3.0L V-6 will be discontinued and the Ecotec 2.4L and 3.6L V-6 with variable valve timing will be the two engines offered in the vehicle. AWD will be offered with 3.6L-equipped models starting in the 2011 model year.

Like the Ecotec 2.4L, the 3.6L V-6 features direct injection. Direct injection is a key component of using advanced propulsion technology to help deliver more fuel-efficient cars today and in the future to Buffalo. By using multiple technology pathways to achieve increased efficiency and to diversify energy sources, Buick can applying them where they make the most sense for New York drivers when it comes to efficiency, performance and cost.

The Ecotec 2.4L  inside of the 2011 Buick LaCrosse is designed to deliver exceptional quietness with low maintenance requirements and minimal environmental impact – including 100,000-mile service life ratings for the spark plugs and accessory drive belt.

The 2011 Buick LaCrosse is also equipped with GM’s Oil Life system, which uses a sophisticated algorithm to determine when it’s time for an oil change. The system calculates the oil life based on a variety of closely monitored variables, such as engine speed, temperature, load and others, allowing fewer oil changes over the life of the vehicle for a significantly reduced amount of used oil that must be recycled.

Buick drivers are encouraged to visit West Herr Buick today to get behind the wheel of the 2011 Buick LaCrosse in Buffalo and experience the Ecotec 2.4L engine for themselves.
