VEHICLE HIGHLIGHTS
The 2011 Buick
Regal marks the return of a midsize sedan and the Regal nameplate to this General Motors 
division's lineup. Buick last offered a Regal in the United States in 2004. The 2011 version shares its basic design with the European-market Opel Insignia. Initially, Regals are offered in a single CXL trim level, with additional versions due in the 2012 model year. The standard engine is a 182-horsepower 2.4-liter 4-cylinder. A 220-horsepower turbocharged 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine is optional. A 6-speed automatic transmission will be standard with both engines at first; a 6-speed manual for turbocharged models is slated to arrive later in the model year. Available safety features include ABS, traction control, antiskid system, curtain-side airbags, and front- and rear-side airbags. Standard on all models are 18-inch wheels, leather upholstery, heated front seats, and an 8-way power driver seat. An "Interactive Drive Control System" adjustable suspension is available on models equipped with the turbocharged engine. A navigation system with a hard drive for storing digital-music files is optional. This evaluation is based on preview test drives.
