Buick's cars have usually been popular with the older crowd. However, Buick is hoping to appeal to a younger demographic with the Regal. What sets this vehicle apart from the rest of its lineup is the fact that the Regal isn't just luxurious but it's also quite sporty. Buyers have the option of selecting from two engines, a super powerful Turbo engine and the base model engine. The turbo charged version outputs 220 hp and 258 lb feet of torque. A drive control system is in place which allows the driver to select from various driving modes. Standard is great for every day driving, Tour for long distances and Sport for a performance oriented drive.
Buyers will appreciate the fuel economy which stands at 32 mpg on the freeway and 28 mpg for inside streets. The base model is more than adequate for every day driving while the Turbo model is a great boost for those who need more power and performance. Besides the additional power, the turbo model also features extra cool features such as rear parking assist and available 19" wheels. The Regal is well insulated and stays ultra quiet, even at high speeds. High quality materials have been used throughout and the dashboards and instruments are all intuitive and easy to use.
The interior is elegant and includes a large number of features for your convenience. A USB port allows you to plug in the music player of your choice. Bluetooth enables the driver to place calls while keeping hands on the steering wheel while satellite radio provides for even more entertainment. Cargo space stands at 14.2 cubic feet but can be easily expanded when you adjust the back seats. Stabilittrak is in place; this allows the vehicle to maintain control and works to give the driver the maximum level of control on the road. Safety belts feature pre-tensioners and side impact beams give added protection in case of an impact. The air bags don't deploy instantly but in two separate stages which can decrease injuries that air bags can cause. The Regal earned top scores during safety tests conducted by the IIHS. Onstar is also available; this system alerts emergency responders if you get in a car accident.
What the Buick brings to the table is a taste of luxury and performance at a competitive price. It is more competitively priced than the other vehicles in its class. It's a big step up from an affordable car but not as expensive as the majority of midsize luxury cars. The turbo engine would be a solid option for the individual who wants a boost of power. Pricing for the base model starts at around twenty six thousand dollars.
