This additional torque is used to deliver a smooth and powerful launch from a stop position delivering a responsiveness and refined performance that you wouldn\u2019t expect from a full-size sedan.\u00a0 Regenerative braking provides energy to the 2018 Buick LaCrosse by capturing the energy created while braking and diverting it into the lithium ion battery pack via the Motor Generator Unit (MGU).\u00a0 The MGU replaces the traditional alternator and acts as a generator as well that stores and delivers power from the battery pack, this optimizes the dual efficiency of the eAssist system and the 2.4L gas engine.\u00a0 Optimizing efficiency is the whole reason Buick implemented the eAssist system and with the addition of start\/stop technology the 2018 Buick LaCrosse exemplifies efficiency.\u00a0 The eAssist system works in conjunction with smart start\/stop technology that cuts the gas engine while idling and seamlessly restarts it when your foot is lifted off the brake pedal. \u00a0And with the eAssist system adding plenty of torque off the line you never lose any performance but gain unparalleled fuel economy.\u00a0 The 2018 Buick LaCrosse is expected to be available this fall, so mark your calendar.\u00a0 If you can\u2019t wait until fall you can find a great deal on the 2017 Buick LaCrosse<\/a> at EVS Auto Group today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
