Lakewood Fans Can Enjoy the New 2012 Buick LaCrosse with eAssist System

Feb. 3, 2012 - PRLog -- Using a variety of technologies and exterior enhancements, the 2012 Buick La Crosse delivers an estimated 36 mpg on the highway and 25 mpg in the city – a 20-percent improvement in highway mileage and a 32-percent boost in city mileage over previous models.

LaCrosse’s fuel economy rivals – or exceeds – that of small cars like the MINI Cooper (28 city/36 hwy with automatic transmission) and Toyota Corolla (26 city/34 hwy with 1.8L and automatic transmission), but does so in a full-size luxury package that comfortably seats five adults.

Details of eAssist System for Lakewood Drivers

The eAssist system is mated to a 2.4L Ecotec direct-injection four-cylinder engine and next-generation six-speed automatic transmission. It uses power stored in an advanced, air-cooled lithium-ion battery to provide needed electrical boost in various driving scenarios, optimizing engine and transmission operation. An advanced 115V lithium-ion battery and latest-generation 15-kW motor-generator unit help increase fuel economy through:

- Regenerative braking, which provides up to 15 kW of electricity to charge the battery
- Providing up to 15 hp (11 kW) of electric power assistance during heavier acceleration
- Automatic and smooth engine start-stop functionality when the vehicle is stopped
- The use of electricity instead of gasoline when stopped
- Aggressive fuel cut-off during deceleration down to zero mph for added fuel savings
- Intelligent charge/discharge of the high-voltage battery.

The new 2012 Buick La Crosse with eAssist can be found at your Lakewood dealer, Jim Curley, at a starting price of $29,320. Visit us and share a cup of coffee while our advisors explain all the advantage you can get to your budget and the environment
