“Are Buicks safe cars?” is a sensible question to ask when searching for your next vehicle. While safety or driver-assistance features are no substitute for the driver’s responsibility to operate the vehicle in a safe manner, Lima shoppers can find plenty of these technologies in new Buicks to enhance peace of mind on each drive.

What Safety Features Do Buicks Have?

Front Pedestrian Braking

Available Front Pedestrian Braking can help you avoid or reduce the severity of a collision with a pedestrian it detects directly in front of you. The technology provides alerts and can automatically provide hard emergency braking or enhance the driver’s hard braking. However, it has limited performance during nighttime and times with low visibility. 

Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert

This available technology provides visual side-mirror alerts when a moving vehicle is detected either quickly approaching or already in your side blind zone. It can also help you avoid lane change collisions.

Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning

This available technology uses a brief steering wheel turn to alert you when it detects you are unintentionally drifting out of your lane lines. If needed, you may also receive Lane Departure Warning alerts. 

Rear Cross Traffic Alert

When in Reverse, this technology can alert you of detected cross traffic behind your vehicle.

Automatic Emergency Braking with Forward Collision Alert

These two technologies work together to help you avoid or reduce the severity of a collision with a detected vehicle you’re following. Camera technology is used to automatically provide hard emergency braking or enhance the driver’s hard braking.

Following Distance Indicator

This helps you keep your distance by displaying the following time in seconds between your vehicle and a detected vehicle you’re following, in an effort to help you maintain a safe distance.
