Overview
The 2016 Buick Regal Sedan is a midsize sedan offered in 4 trims, starting off at a base MSRP of $27,065. For that price, it mainly competes with the Hyundai Sonata, the Toyota Camry, and the Mazda 6. Between 4 trims, the Buick Regal offers two powertrains. The base engine is a 2.4L Inline-4 capable of making 182 horsepower and 172 lb-ft of torque. If more power is required, there is also a 259 horsepower-making 2.0L turbocharged Inline-4. Both engines are mated to a 6-speed automatic, with the GS trim being an exception with a 6-speed manual transmission option on offer when equipped with front-wheel drive. The Buick Regal reaches 60 mph from zero in 8.7 seconds on its base engine, which gets pumped up to 6.3 seconds with the turbocharged setup. Depending on the powertrain, the Buick Regal can manage a combined fuel economy of between 22 and 24 mpg.
