Buick has announced that it will add a 2.4-liter Ecotec four-cylinder engine to the 2010 LaCrosse roster. It joins the previously announced direct-injected 3.0- and 3.6-liter V-6 engines and like those powerplants is backed by a six-speed automatic transmission. The 2.4-liter will be the standard engine in the base CX model and marks the first Buick four-banger in more than a decade.
The engine makes 182 hp and 172 lb-ft of torque and also is found in the Chevy Equinox and GMC Terrain. GM expects mileage to hit 20 mpg city and 30 highway when the four-cylinder LaCrosse runs the EPA gauntlet. Interestingly, that’s 1 mpg shy of the projected city ratings of both the Equinox and Terrain. LaCrosse production begins this summer.
