Overview

The 2013 Buick Regal Hybrid Sedan fares well in the midsize sedan segment. The Buick Regal Hybrid Sedan carries a base price of MSRP $29,015 and is offered in 3 trims, reaching a price of MSRP $32,045. The engine on service here is a familiar 2.4L Inline-4 engine supported by an 11-kWh electric motor pack. Mated to a continuously variable automatic transmission, it makes 182 horsepower and 172 lb-ft of torque. The combined fuel economy improves from 22 MPG on the standard gasoline variant to 29 MPG on the hybrid variant, making the increase in sticker price worth it. Performance of the Regal Hybrid Sedan also improves here, with the car accelerating from 0 to 60 mph in 8.0 seconds. Buick offers the same 9 colors for the Regal Hybrid Sedan. The Regal Hybrid Sedan mainly competes against the Lexus ES 300h Hybrid. Buyers could also consider the Toyota Camry Hybrid and the Ford Fusion Hybrid.
