CarGurus Analysis: 2016 Buick LaCrosse

Summary
With 376 currently listed for sale and an average price of $12,159, 29.8% of 2016 Buick LaCrosses for sale on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favorably reviewed: Owners rated the 2016 Buick LaCrosse 5 / 5 stars.
58.8% of 2016 LaCrosse models on CarGurus are accident free.
Why it stands out
The 2016 Buick LaCrosse stands out as a comfortable, quietly upscale sedan that leans more toward relaxed cruising than sporty driving. Buick gave this generation a curvaceous shape, a clean exterior, and a cabin that was meant to feel modern, while the chassis was shared with the Cadillac XTS and the Saab 9-5. It also benefited from HiPer Strut front suspension, which was designed to help reduce torque steer, and Buick’s QuietTuning approach helped reinforce the car’s calm, insulated character.
For 2016, the LaCrosse added a power driver’s seat, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and updated IntelliLink infotainment, along with a Sport Touring package that included a spoiler and 18-inch wheels. That mix of comfort and technology makes it appealing to buyers who want a traditional sedan with useful modern features. It is not the most engaging choice, though, and the source also notes that early generations were gas guzzlers and that the styling was not universally loved. Still, the 2016 LaCrosse offers a roomy, quiet, and well-equipped alternative for shoppers who value comfort and a more premium feel over image or driving excitement.

Rides beautifully. The leather seats are very comfortable and road noise is virtually eliminated. The built in Apple Carplay connected to my phone in 30 seconds and the operation is flawless. The 3.6 liter V6 offers plenty of power for a larger sedan. I drove a 2015 Lexus RX 350 for six months and in comparing the two, the Lacrosse has more power, better leather seats, a quiter ride and has a more solid feel.

The reliability rating for the Buick LaCrosse are at the top of similar cars. It’s interior is luxurious and comfortable for both front and back seat riders. It’s large but sleek and the ride smooth and quiet. The only minor deficit is that the trunk is smaller than you’d imagine, however the back seats will fold down to fit more cargo

The ride was great. We bought it because of the safety features--especially the warning if there is a vehicle approaching in your blind spot. Also, the rear view camera is great to let you know if someone comes flying up in back of you while you are preparing to back out of a parking space.

Not only is the Lacrosse an extremely comfortable ride, it has the technology you want in a car. Plus the fuel economy is better than the Honda Accord Coupe I owned prior to this one. I’ve loved my Lacrosse enough that my family have bought ones for themselves.

Is the 2016 Buick LaCrosse a good car?
Yes — the 2016 Buick LaCrosse earns a 5/5 user rating, which points to strong owner satisfaction. Owners repeatedly praise the comfort, smooth ride, and luxurious interior, and they also highlight useful technology such as blind spot warnings and Apple CarPlay.

Is the 2016 Buick LaCrosse reliable?
Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.
Owner feedback also emphasizes reliability, along with comfort and a trouble-free ownership experience for many drivers. That combination suggests you can feel reasonably confident about long-term use if the specific car you choose has been maintained well.
What should I look for when buying a used 2016 Buick LaCrosse?
At 58.5% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
You should run a vehicle history report before you commit, then prioritize a pre-purchase inspection so you can catch hidden body, suspension, or repair issues. Focus closely on overall condition, because a clean-looking listing can still hide past damage or uneven repair quality. If possible, compare several cars side by side so you can separate well-kept examples from those that have been repaired after an incident.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2016 Buick LaCrosse?

If you find a listing below $11,640, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
What is the 2016 Buick LaCrosse's resale value?
The current average of $12,186 sits slightly below last year's $12,261.
That small decline suggests the market has been fairly stable, which can help you plan a future sale without expecting dramatic swings. If you buy well and keep the car in strong condition, you should be able to preserve value better than with a model that is dropping more sharply. Demand should also stay supported by the car’s comfort-focused appeal and strong owner satisfaction.
Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.
Should I buy a 2016 Buick LaCrosse or consider a different year?
If you're weighing the 2016 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:
Choose the 2016 if:
- 29.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- At 58.5% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
- Price trend: Prices have held steady compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
Consider the 2017 if:
- At $15,609, the 2017 costs more than the current year's $12,186 average.
- The redesign brings a more premium feel and broader appeal.
The bottom line: If you want the better value play, the 2016 is the stronger starting point because it combines a lower average price with solid owner satisfaction and steady pricing. If you’re willing to spend more for a redesigned cabin and a more premium presentation, the 2017 is the better secondary path.
