DETROIT M.I. –
Michigan Buick dealers are proud to hear the Buick LaCrosse has been awarded with 5-Star ratings from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Other vehicles in the same class may have earned the same 5-star rating in previous years, but what makes this a higher honor is the change in the tests to include tougher examinations and more rigorous requirements.
The NHTSA introduced the new testing system for all of the 2011 models while providing more information about the safety features and crash-avoidance technologies and their performances.
Michigan Buick dealers learned the Buick LaCrosse received 5-Star ratings for the Overall Frontal Crash and Overall Side Crash tests.
"Car buyers today want the peace of mind that comes with buying a vehicle they know will help protect their family," said Tony DiSalle, Vice President of Buick Marketing in a press release from General Motors. "This five-star overall vehicle score for safety shows Buick can equip an affordable luxury midsize sedan with top safety features."
The Buick LaCrosse is stocked with safety features that add to the frontal crash rating and protect all passengers. Special features include the dynamic locking latchplate, which locks to protect the occupants’ pelvis and upper torso in the event of a crash.
Other features include:
· A "360-degree" field of vision behind the steering wheel is offered with intelligent technologies
· The driver is notified with side blind zone alert technology if there is a vehicle in the driver's blind spot
· To be able to see behind the vehicle, the navigation system includes a built in rearview camera system
· In the event of a crash, front- and side-impact air bags and roof-mounted head-curtain air bags are present
· For added safety, an advanced front-seat safety belt system with a dynamic locking latchplate and load limiters is included
· A standard feature includes General Motors’ StabiliTrak stability- and traction-control system
· OnStar is included for the first year of ownership
Michigan Buick dealers are proud to carry a vehicle that may suit customers’ needs from different angles: style, reliability and safety.
