    When you’re interested in a full-size car, you’re in it for the space. Offering adult-friendly accommodations in both rows, the 2017 Buick LaCrosse and the 2017 Chevy Impala are two of the roomiest sedans you can set foot in.
    Backseat legroom is of top consideration in this class, but luckily the LaCrosse and the Impala very much oblige, both offering about 40 inches of rear seat legroom.
    There’s also at least 15 cubic feet of trunk space offered by each model. A standard split-folding rear seatback makes it easy to divvy up space between your posse and your gear accordingly.

      2017 LaCrosse vs. 2017 Impala: Power and Performance

      Moving a sedan of such stature like the Buick LaCrosse or the Chevy Impala takes more power than your average commuter. Let’s take a look at how their standard engines perform:
      • Buick LaCrosse: 3.6-liter V6 generates 310 horsepower
      • Chevy Impala: 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine produces 197 horsepower
      Comparing these outputs, it’s clear that the LaCrosse can get up to speed quicker than the Impala can. With this much more power, you’d probably expect fuel efficiency to suffer in the Buick LaCrosse, but on the contrary. The 2017 LaCrosse’s ingenious stop-start system enables it to leverage 100 more horsepower than the Chevrolet while tying its EPA estimates.
