Here is how the LaCrosse stacks up against the Lexus ES.
Design & Style

The 2020 Buick LaCrosse has a well-designed exterior that can even be described as sporty. The interior however is rather basic with plastic materials all over the cabin. Space is not a problem and the LaCrosse has ample legroom as well as headspace.
Technology & Safety

The car also features a 10-speaker audio system that is upgradable. With the ES, you also get Bluetooth phone connectivity which allows you to do more with your smartphone.
The 2020 Buick LaCrosse features an eight-inch touch screen infotainment system. It also includes smartphone connectivity as well as USB charging points. The infotainment system however is a bit hard to use and the graphics are not of good quality.
Performance
The 2020 Lexus ES is powered by a 3.5-liter engine that delivers superb performance. The ES never feels underpowered and glides through highways with ease. Handling is also superb and the ES corners with an agility that is surprising for such a sedan. Its suspension is also excellent and keeps road imperfections away from the cabin.
The LaCrosse on the other hand comes with a 4-cylinder engine that is paired with an electric engine to improve acceleration and fuel efficiency. For those who need a little more power, there is the option of a V6 engine that is connected to an 8-speed automatic transmission.
