2011 Buick Lucerne Used Price Estimates

We spent quality time on freeways, around town and on challenging two-lanes in both base V6 and top-line V8 Super Lucernes and found much to like and little to criticize. The standard car allows relatively spirited driving (more aggressive than its buyers will likely attempt) with adequate power, good control and solid braking. Only its ultra-light power steering disappointed us, yet it might please typical buyers. The V8-powered Super would be our choice for its full complement of features and outstanding ride and handling – although its magnetic power steering also struck us as a bit light and devoid of feel. Especially impressive were the unusually low noise levels inside both cabins, thanks to Buick's standard QuietTuning.

Magnetic Ride Control (with StabiliTrak and Brake Assist)Using magnetically charged particles suspended in a synthetic fluid, the Lucerne's shocks continually adjust to varying road surfaces and driving conditions, this remarkable feature responds far faster than conventional valve-damping systems to provide the rare combination of exceptional twisty-road handling and silky smooth highway ride. Remote Vehicle StartGM's remote start lets you start the engine and warm or cool the cabin (while the car stays securely locked) well in advance of departing. Once you've tried it you won't want to live without it.

The Lucerne's 203.2-inch overall length gives Buick engineers plenty of leeway in designing a roomy, spacious interior. Compared with the old Park Avenue known to so many Buick loyalists, the Lucerne offers an inch more rear legroom as well as more supportive seating. This compares well to Chrysler's 300C and Ford's Taurus, as well as the much pricier Lexus GS. The Lucerne is also one of the last cars to offer a 60/40 split bench front seat. The highly refined interior fits are tight – materials and finishes are premium with excellent attention to detail – and Buick's "QuietTuning" substantially reduces most road, wind and powertrain noise.

Compared to the new Regal and LaCrosse, the 2011 Buick Lucerne's once ground-breaking styling now appears a bit subdued. The shapely interpretation of the marque's signature waterfall grille is flanked by jewel-like projector-beam headlamps, while the taut sheetmetal is athletic, graceful and upscale American with a touch of Lexus. Twin under-the-bumper front air intakes sport a single horizontal chrome rib apiece, while traditional Buick portholes (non-functional) adorn the front fenders. The sleek roofline holds a distinctively-shaped rear pillar. The wheels fill their wells for a muscular stance, and the portholes are set at a slight angle to accentuate the body's wedgy profile.

Lucerne's six standard airbags include side-impact thorax and roof-rail air-curtain bags, a dual-stage driver bag and a GM-patented dual-depth front passenger bag. Also standard are a power driver's and passenger seat, power windows, mirrors and door locks with remote keyless entry, six-speaker AM/FM/CD with auxiliary input jack, XM Satellite Radio, four-spoke tilt steering wheel with speed and audio controls, PASS-Key III theft-deterrent system, 17-inch alloy wheels and tires with tire pressure monitoring, four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes (ABS), traction and stability control, Buick's QuietTuning (which includes laminated steel and laminated windshield and side glass) and GM's OnStar convenience and security system.

The mid-range CXL adds automatic climate control, eight way power and heated front seats with power lumbar support and a heated leather steering wheel, while the EXL adds to this the Driver Confidence Package with ultrasonic rear park assist and remote start. The Super boasts the Northstar V8, 18-inch wheels and tires, Magnetic Ride Control, heated and cooling front seats, heated steering wheel and rear park assist. Beyond the trim-level equipment, stand alone options include remote start, Bluetooth hands-free phone connectivity, six-passenger seating (with a 40/20/40 split front seat), power sunroof, touch-screen navigation and Side Blind Zone Alert and Land Departure Warning (available in conjunction with the Driver's Confidence package.

GM's 3.9-liter overhead-valve V6 provides an acceptable balance between power and fuel economy, while its FlexFuel component allows the engine use E85, a blend of gasoline and ethanol. In a rare appearance outside of a Cadillac, the smooth and powerful 292-horsepower dual-overhead cam Northstar V8 offers substantially stronger performance at a one- to two-mile-per-gallon sacrifice in fuel economy. The standard four-speed automatic could use another ratio or two to better compete with the five- and six-speed automatics found in upper-level imports and some domestics. 3.9-liter V6227 horsepower @ 5700 rpm237 lb.-ft. of torque @ 3200 rpmEPA city/highway fuel economy: 17/26 (gasoline), 13/20 (E85)4.6-liter V8 (Exclusive to Super)292 horsepower @ 6300 rpm288 lb.-ft. of torque @ 4500 rpmEPA city/highway fuel economy: 15/22

The 2011 Lucerne has a Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) ranging from around $ 30,500 for the base CX to nearly $ 46,000 for a loaded Super. Given its features and options, the Lucerne more then matches a similarly-equipped Chrysler 300, Acura RL and even Volvo S80, but faces tough competition from the Hyundai Genesis and Lincoln MKS.
