We still have yet to drive the Buick Regal, but the car is very handsome for 2014 in both the base eAssist or Turbo trims — and definitely int he sexy GS package.
The GS is the OPC/VXR version from across the pond – with everything the European cars have to increase the sportiness of the handling, performance and cabin feel. Our GS trades the twin-turbo V6 of the Euro cars for a turbo four – which is the biggest change overall besides the new Buick badges everywhere.
The lighter engine up front actually dramatically enhances road feel and how eager the Regal GS is to pivot sharply on the road or track. But it does make it a bit slower than its Euro cousins as well as just a click or two faster than the new Regal Turbo in the middle of the lineup.
The eAssist Regal is the base powertrain this year – but all are packing a high-quality cabin, standard 4G LTE in-car broadband, and updated tech features to make the most use of the Buick and OnStar connected services platform.
