Model overview

The Buick Regal is a mid-sized car that was first presented by Buick in 1973. The model was initially positioned as a luxury car and offered in both coupe and sedan models. In 1997 the Regal became sedan-only due to the drop in the personal luxury coupe market. For some model years within 1973 and 2004, the Regal shared bodies and engines with the Buick Century, although the Regal was more expensive.

In 2004 in the North American market the Regal was discontinued, being replaced by the Buick LaCrosse. In 2008, a new version of the Regal was launched for the Chinese market, and in 2011 for the North American market, positioned as a mid-size car. A new model was launched for 2018, which offered a liftback sedan and station wagon version. GM plans to abandon the Regal in the North American market after the 2020 model year and making Buick solely an SUV/CUV brand.

The Regal is equipped with a responsive 250-hp turbocharged four-cylinder engine paired with a smooth-shifting nine-speed automatic transmission and a front-wheel drive. The models equipped with all-wheel-drive have an eight-speed automatic. The front-wheel-drive can reach from zero to 60 mph in just 5.6 seconds.
