Is the 2014 Buick LaCrosse reliable?

Owners rate it 4.5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction. User feedback also points to a dependable, trouble-free ownership experience for many shoppers, with comfort and smoothness showing up as recurring strengths. The expert review adds that Buick’s powertrain and chassis tuning are aimed at relaxed, predictable driving rather than drama, which supports the car’s long-term, easygoing character. Buick also backs the car with a 4-year/50,000-mile basic warranty and 6-year/70,000-mile powertrain coverage, but used buyers should still weigh mileage, maintenance history, and engine choice carefully because ownership risk can rise on higher-mileage examples.

What should I look for when buying a used 2014 Buick LaCrosse?

At 56.1% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should start with a vehicle history report and then prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if you’re considering a higher-mileage example. Focus on signs of prior bodywork, uneven wear, and any evidence that comfort or electronics features have been neglected. Because owners mention missing technology like Bluetooth and Apple CarPlay, it’s also worth confirming the exact equipment on the car you’re considering.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base trim includes dual-zone climate control, remote start, 17-inch alloy wheels, ambient interior lighting, an auto-dimming rear-view mirror, and an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Bluetooth streaming audio and iPod compatibility. The Leather trim adds a rear-view camera, push-button start, heated power-adjustable front seats with memory settings for 2 drivers, heated mirrors with integrated turn signals, rear parking sensors, and leather upholstery. Premium I adds an 11-speaker Bose Surround Sound system, heated and cooled front seats, a heated steering wheel, a power rear sunshade, and an upgraded suspension, while Premium II adds 20-inch alloy wheels and navigation.
• Powertrain: The standard setup is a 2.4-liter 4-cylinder eAssist hybrid with 182 hp and 172 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 6-speed automatic and rated at 25 mpg city and 36 mpg highway. A 3.6-liter V6 is available with 304 hp and 264 lb-ft of torque, and it is offered in FWD or AWD form.
• Safety package: The available Driver Confidence Package 1 bundles adaptive HID headlights, lane-departure warning, forward-collision warning, rear cross-traffic alert, and a blind-spot monitor. Driver Confidence Package 2 adds intelligent cruise control, automatic collision preparation, and a Safety Alert seat. Some of these features are optional rather than standard, so check the exact trim and package content carefully.
• Infotainment: The car uses an 8-inch touchscreen with crisp graphics and customizable icons. It supports Bluetooth, Pandora Internet radio, and enhanced voice recognition, and the gauge-cluster screen can show fuel economy, tire pressure, maps for the optional navigation system, and safety alerts.
• Fuel efficiency: The eAssist setup is rated at 25 mpg city, 36 mpg highway, and 29 mpg combined. The V6 is rated at 18 mpg city, 28 mpg highway, and 21 mpg combined in FWD form, or 17 mpg city, 26 mpg highway, and 20 mpg combined with AWD.

Which 2014 Buick LaCrosse trim should I buy?

The 2014 Buick LaCrosse is offered in 4 trim levels: base trim, Leather, Premium I, Premium II.

Here's the short version:

• base trim: This is the value-oriented entry point, and it already gives you the core comfort and tech features, including the 8-inch touchscreen and Bluetooth streaming audio. It makes the most sense if you want the lowest-cost way into the LaCrosse experience and are comfortable with the standard eAssist powertrain.
• Leather: This is the trim that opens the door to the V6 and AWD, and it adds a rear-view camera, push-button start, heated power-adjustable front seats with memory, rear parking sensors, and leather upholstery. It’s the best-value choice if you want a more complete luxury feel without jumping all the way to the top trims.
• Premium I: This trim adds the richer cabin and comfort upgrades you’re most likely to notice every day, including the Bose audio system, heated and cooled front seats, heated steering wheel, and power rear sunshade. It suits you best if comfort and convenience matter more than keeping the purchase price as low as possible.
• Premium II: This is the most fully equipped version, adding 20-inch alloy wheels and navigation. It’s the right pick if you want the most upscale presentation and don’t mind paying for it.

Driver Confidence Package 1 and Driver Confidence Package 2 are optional safety upgrades, so check whether the car you’re considering has them.

What is the 2014 Buick LaCrosse's resale value?

The current average of $11,178 sits slightly below last year's $11,479.

That tells you the market has softened a bit, which can work against you if you’re selling soon. On the other hand, the current pricing also suggests buyers are still willing to pay for the LaCrosse’s comfort and upscale feel, especially when the car is well kept and properly equipped. If you maintain the car carefully and keep mileage and condition in check, you’ll be in a better position to protect value over time.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2014 Buick LaCrosse safe?

The 2014 Buick LaCrosse earns a five-star overall rating from NHTSA.

It earns an 8/10 safety score from our experts.

Standard safety equipment includes 8 airbags, 4-wheel antilock disc brakes with brake assist, electronic stability control, and OnStar telematics with emergency response services and roadside assistance. Available Driver Confidence Package 1 adds adaptive HID headlights, lane-departure warning, forward-collision warning, rear cross-traffic alert, and a blind-spot monitor, while Driver Confidence Package 2 adds intelligent cruise control, automatic collision preparation, and a Safety Alert seat. The main caveat is that some of the most advanced driver-assistance features are optional rather than standard, so you’ll want to verify package content on any used example.

Our experts score the 2014 Buick LaCrosse 7.8/10 and the 2014 Chevrolet Impala 7.8/10. The LaCrosse asks more up front and returns better fuel economy, while the Impala starts cheaper and gives you more listings to shop.
