Every 2011 Buick Lucerne is equipped with antilock brakes, traction & stability control, front side-impact airbags & side curtain airbags. In testing, a Lucerne came to a cease from 60 mph in 137 feet -- disappointing for a automobile of this type & cost.
In testing by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, the Lucerne earned a top rating of "Good" for frontal-offset collisions & an "Acceptable" score in side-impact testing.
Interior Design and Special Features
One time underway, the Lucerne provides a serene atmosphere with little road noise. In this surroundings, the optional Harman Kardon audio process shines. The seats are comfortable, with ample room back and front, and a Lucerne advantage is the ability to stool six if needed. The huge trunk swallows up to 17 cubic feet of cargo, and a pass-through can accommodate longer items.
The Lucerne's roomy cabin is a comfortable place to spend time, if you are not saddled with driving chores. The dashboard features legible gauges, intuitive controls and a simple, straightforward layout.
