2018 Buick Regal Sportback and TourX | Road Test

Buick is redefining their brand for a new generation of buyers. The versatility of the new Regal is indicative of their efforts.

Ah, it just isn't MotorWeek without that iconic voice!

25k is a DAMN GOOD price for a 2.0T of this caliber

[Jorge-Tamacas]

As a family man with kids, I'll take the wagon. Great cars by the way

[robinatkins]

Very handsome. It's great to see Buick have an identity again.

[Jasen]

This is a MUCH better looking Regal than the last generation. The GS is really nice. I wish I could get it. I love my 2002 Regal GS Supercharged.

[screenPhiles]

I remember watching MotorWeek a long time ago on my local PBS station. Such an oddly comforting show.

I've always liked wagons whether it's a traditional large American wagon like a Ford Country Squire, a performance sleeper like one of the Volvo Turbo wagons, or a more recreational model like a Subaru Outback. The new Regal TourX is no exception. Good job Buick.

[DrewLSsix]

Always good to see a wagon. Waiting for the GS trim!

My 2019 TourX had a sticker of $32k. It was December of 2019 and they wanted to move it. Got it with 50 miles for $25k. She just turned 80k miles and no issues

I own the 2019 Sportback and absolutely love it! Gets about 42 on the highway consistently. Very smooth, quiet ride, but handles like a champ.

I love that the sedan is actually a lift back. Much more practical. I also love the availability of a wagon. What I dislike is that the wagon is only available with AWD and a raised stance. It's basically Buick's answer to the Subaru Outback. I'd prefer the wagon with FWD and the sedan's ride height. I suppose Americans wouldn't buy it though because it would actually be a station wagon and marketed as such.

Dang. I just realized I like Buick designs now just because they’re rebadged Opels’

[michaelmcwhorter]

We bought a TourX back in April. Love it. It's been on several road trips. We live the Buick commercial ("That's not a Buick"). People check it out wherever we go. It is a great family car, very capable, very comfortable, and very unique. Much more unique than an Outback. Can't wait to see how it handles this winter.

I have a 2013 Buick & although it’s not this beautiful regal sport back, it’s been one of the nicest cars I’ve ever owned. This is a lot of car for 25k.

[luxurreview]

I don’t know why people think 0 to 60 in 6 1/2 seconds is slow. I remember the days when Corvettes, Camaros, and Dodge Chargers were thirsting for that type of speed.

[justsumguyu]

I think a major selling point in Buick's favor is the relatively low starting price. At only $25K, that might entice some buyers that might otherwise be looking elsewhere. Of course, a few ticks on the option sheet could easily send the price north of $30K.

[flakeu]

I usually don't like Buick but this time I'm really impressed. The wagon reminds me the Volvo XC70 which is not a bad thing.

[harysuper]

We get it guys, its based on an opel and made in Germany. Which isn't a bad thing. Just enjoy the fact an american brand like GM sells a wagon in the US again. Its been over 20 years since that last happened for GM. As a Roadmaster owner myself I'm glad US gets a Buick branded wagon with Buick styling cues and Opel heritage.

Buick Regal 0-60: 6.4 seconds. Modern cars are freaking wonderful.

Encore is the subcompact crossover, not the full size, three row crossover Enclave
