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 Lexus ES deletes “sedate” from its vocabulary.

TCC Likes

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

Best-looking ES ever?
ES350 F Sport’s crisp responses
Apple CarPlay, finally!

TCC Dislikes

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

No all-wheel drive
Complicated infotainment
A sedan in a crossover-crazy world
