Overview

The 2019 Buick Regal Sportback is a midsize hatchback offered in 5 trims, starting off at a base MSRP $25,070. For that price, it mainly competes with the Volkswagen Golf R Hatchback, the Honda Civic Type-R, and the Hyundai Veloster N Hatchback. Between 5 trims, the Buick Regal offers a single powertrain. It is a 2.0L turbocharged Inline-4 engine making 250 horsepower and 265 lb-ft of torque. While the entire trim lineup gets the same powertrain mated with a 9-speed automatic transmission, the Essence and Preferred II are mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission.

The Buick Regal reaches 60 mph from zero in 6.3 seconds. Depending on the powertrain, the Buick Regal can manage a combined fuel economy of between 24 and 26 mpg. While we're on the topic of choices, the 4 striking colors the Buick Regal comes in really pull you towards itself.

Buying Advice

We would recommend you to go for the 2019 Buick Regal Prefered II (8A) trim. The moon-light ambiance along with the automated climate control and heated leather seats can uplift anyone from a bad day.
