There has been a plan to make the 2024 Buick Regal Sportback stylish like before. When it comes to sports vehicle, Buick may be left behind than other competitors, but it doesn’t mean that they don’t know what to do. Give or take that the Regal has been quite unattractive (but functional) a few years back, and Buick wants to improve it and gets it back to its reputation as a solid sports ride.
The Updated Plan
Buick has officially confirmed that they are going to discontinue the Regal after 2024 model because the sales number for sedan hasn’t been improving over the last years. Moreover, Buick wants to focus more on their SUV lineups instead of dwindling in the sedan category.
The Redesigned Exterior
The 2024 Buick Regal GS would be coming with an appearance that seems to combine Lexus IS 350 and BMW M2 together. It’s not bad, especially with the hatchback style liftgate. When paired up with 19 inch of (aluminum) wheels, massive foglight surrounds and Technical Gray accents, the new Regal looks stylish and good looking. Moreover, accents like halogen headlights, daytime running light, or auto on and off would be the standard features on the GS. In short, the look of 2024 Regal isn’t disappointing.
The Interior Cabin
The dashboard design is flowing and smooth, adding up the plush and convenient layout in the cabin. Buttons are all easy to reach with complete technologies and features. Expect to find sporty steering wheel with leather seats whose lumbar support can be adjusted in 4 different ways.
Powertrain and Performance
It seems that the new Regal will still be running with the same V6 unit with 3.6 liter capacity, generating 310 hp and 282 Nm of torque. It would also be coming with auto 9 speed transmission and also front wheel driving system. The vehicle has this advanced (power) distribution mechanism that allows it to distribute power to the vehicle’s front wheels, but it can be used to power the rear wheels whenever necessary too.
The result is swift and smooth acceleration because the combo of V6 unit and auto 9 speed transmission is able to manage the unit to stay within its powerband in the best manner. If you want the smooth and good experience, go with the GS mode, instead of Sport or Touring. It would give you the needed punch without overdoing it.
The Price Range
Different trim levels would lead to different prices. The front wheel base trim (with 2.0T) would be set at around $25,500, while the GS level would be $39,000. If you want the top of the line trim, it may cost you a good $40,000 for the whole thing
