Ideal for families and those who appreciate a sophisticated yet practical vehicle, the Lacrosse stands out among its competitors in the same class.

The 2007 Lacrosse comes with two engine options tailored to cater to different driving preferences. The base model is powered by a 3.8-liter V6 engine that delivers 197 horsepower and 227 lb-ft of torque, providing adequate power for daily driving.

The CXL adds a touch of luxury with enhanced interior elements and additional standard features, such as upgraded upholstery and chrome accents. The sophisticated CXS trim is geared towards those wanting the ultimate experience, featuring a more powerful engine, enhanced suspension, and premium sound systems.

Features

This model is equipped with an array of features tailored to provide comfort and convenience. Standard features include keyless entry, cruise control, and a six-speaker audio system. Higher trims offer add-ons such as leather upholstery, a premium audio system, dual-zone climate control, and a navigation system, enhancing the driving experience. Safety features such as antilock brakes and side-impact airbags also serve to provide peace of mind while on the road.
