Overall Rating
Buick Regal:
The Buick Regal is a line of mid-size cars marketed by Buick since 1973. Serving as the premium mid-size/intermediate car of the Buick product range for nearly its entire production, the Regal initially served as the divisional counterpart of the Pontiac Grand Prix and Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme; since the late 2000s, the model line has been derived from the Opel Insignia. The Regal also serves as the basis of the high-performance Grand National, Gran Sport , and Buick GNX coupes.
Through its production, the Regal has been marketed under a wide variety of body styles, including two-door coupes and four-door sedans , along with a 5-door liftback sedan and a 5-door station wagon; the latter was the first Buick station wagon marketed since the retirement of both the Century and Roadmaster Estates after 1996. The turbocharged LD5 3. 8L V6 used in the second generation was used to showcase the motorsports presence of the brand; though offered with other vehicles , the turbocharged engine is most commonly associated with the Regal. During the 1990s, the V6 regained forced induction, with a supercharger replacing the turbocharger....(Read more on Wikipedia)
V Sedan (facelift 2014) Overview:
Buick Regal (V Sedan (facelift 2014)). With 233 Nm of torque, it offers ample pulling power. With a weight of 1635 kg, it falls in the mid‑range. Front‑wheel drive delivers efficiency and easy handling. A four-door car with a separate trunk, ideal for families and daily commuting. Seating for 5 makes it ideal for daily use.
2.4 (185 Hp) Automatic Verdict:
Performance Verdict
Offers adequate power for basic transportation needs, but lacks the spirited performance and responsiveness of the turbocharged or eAssist options.
Fuel Economy
Fuel economy is rather disappointing for its power output, making it less competitive against the more efficient eAssist or more powerful 2.0T variants.

- • Strong performance from 2.0T engine options
- • Available all-wheel drive for enhanced traction

- • Comfortable ride quality for daily driving

Cons:
- • Rear seat space can be tight for taller passengers
