All new when it replaced the LeSabre and Park Avenue in Buick's lineup, Lucerne enters its second model year little changed. Lucerne shares its basic architecture and V8 engine with the Cadillac DTS. CX and CXL V6 models have a 197-hp V6. CXL V8 and the top-line CXS have a 275-hp V8. A 4-speed automatic is the sole transmission. Lucernes come with front bucket seats and a center console for five-passenger seating. CX and CXL models seat six with an available front bench. Front side airbags, curtain side airbags, ABS, and OnStar assistance are standard. An antiskid system is standard on CXS, optional on CXL V8. Exclusive to CXS is GM's Magnetic Ride Control, designed to adjust suspension firmness to match road surfaces with driving conditions. Leather upholstery is standard on CXLs and CXS, unavailable on CX. Available features include remote engine start and heated and cooled front seats.
