Looks aren’t everything but
they sure help sell cars and the
Buick Regal has them.
The Regal sedan’s modern,
sleek exterior is a sweeping
silhouette with the proportions
of a coupe that make it appear
to be in motion. Along with its
good looks, General Motors
engineers added a European
inspired ride and handling.
The results are a good looking
sedan with a fi rm, Europeantuned
chassis that rivals some
of the best import sport sedans
in the segment.
New for 2011 is a driverselectable
interactive drive
control system, available with
2.0- liter turbocharged engine,
leather and heated front seats,
XM Satellite Radio, USB port,
MP3 auxiliary jack, Bluetooth
for phone and OnStar.
The four-door Buick Regal
CXL sedan is powered by
a 2.4-liter dual overhead cam
four-cylinder engine mated to
a six-speed automatic transmission.
The four makes 182 horsepower
and 172 lb.-ft. torque
and gets a highly respectable
19/30 miles to the gallon in
city/highway driving.
The Buick Regal rides on
18-inch wheels, which are also
new standard equipment for
2011, seats four adults comfortably
and has 14.25 cubic
feet of trunk space.
The Regal is the next chapter
in Buick’s portfolio expansion
which now includes a
modern sport sedan. The new
Regal takes on competitors
such as the Acura TSX and
Volvo S60.
For 2011, Regal is offered in
premium CXL trim only, with
additional trim levels to be offered
in the 2012 model year.
The well-equipped Regal CXL
includes the following as standard
or available equipment:
Standard 2.4L direct injected
engine, available 2.0-liter
turbocharged and direct injected
engine rated at an estimated
220 horsepower, sixspeed
automatic transmission
with driver shifting control,
six speed manual transmission
available with turbocharged
engine, MacPherson strut
front suspension and four-link
independent rear suspension,
four-wheel disc brakes with
four-channel anti-lock braking
system.
Also, brake assist and electronic
parking brake, stability
control system and fullfunction
traction control are
standard, standard dual-stage
frontal air bags, side-curtain
air bags and pedal-release system;
rear-seat thorax air bags
available, available navigation
system, harman kardon sound
system, internal fl ash drive
(1GB), hard drive with 10GB
for music and USB port and
19-inch alloy wheels standard
with interactive drive control.
The car’s spirit is conveyed
in sleek, sculpted body-side detail
and aggressive headlamps
that further suggest motion.
At the rear, an abbreviated
deck and tucked-in body panels
are the hallmarks of a contemporary
sport sedan, with bold
taillamps and their intricate
lighting elements reinforcing
Regal’s attention to detail.
The sweeping design motif
carries over to the interior,
where the side panels fl ow
uninterrupted into the instrument
panel. Features such as a
thick-rimmed, leather-wrapped
steering wheel and fi rm, highly
bolstered and leather-covered
seats also support the sportoriented
driving experience.
With all standard equipment
the Buick Regal retails for
$26,245. With optional equipment
that included the comfort
and convenience package and
a power sunroof the total came
to $28,090.
Buick engineers and designers
have ditched the brand’s
yesteryear look, put more fun
into driving a Buick and made
it a top value.
Buick was the biggest sales
gainer from 2009 to 2010 and
that says everything.
Buick went from having
sold 72,389 vehicles in 2009 to
selling almost twice that number
in 2010 -- 114,000 for a 57
percent increase.General Motors
in general is cranking.
The company’s Cadillac
and GMC divisions came in
second and fourth as biggest
sales gainers this year. A total
of 73,024 Cadillacs were sold
in 2009 and 105,013 in 2010.
GMC sold 176,423 vehicles in
2009 and 230,502 this year.
