TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2019 Buick LaCrosse is old-school luxury with a new-school hybrid battery bump. It's a quiet, comfortable sedan that doesn't make many mistakes.

The 2019 Chevrolet Impala does big car hauling with sports car design flair.

TCC Likes

Upscale, elegant styling throughout
Silent, comfortable cruiser
Hybrid model is not as efficient as a full system would be

Sharp styling
Good value overall
Comfortable interior

TCC Dislikes

Options and trims get pricey fast
Cramped back seat
Advanced safety tech reserved for higher trims

A hybrid would help
So would more active safety tech
Less rear-seat headroom than expected
