The 2020 Buick Regal Sportback five-door is the third model year for the latest sixth generation of the Regal nameplate. As one of the last remaining contemporary sedans to wear a Buick badge, General Motors is keen to keep it feeling as fresh as possible. As such, the Regal Sportback is set to receive a new ST Appearance Package that will add a number of sport-flavored exterior aesthetics upgrades.
The new ST Appearance Package will only be offered on the mid-range Essence trim level, which slots in between the Preferred and Avenir trim levels of the 2020 Buick Regal Sportback. Note that the new ST package will not be offered with the Regal TourX wagon model. Additionally, the package has yet to debut, which means pictures are currently unavailable. However, the package is expected to be offered very soon.

The “ST” name stands for “Sport Touring,” which makes sense given the sporty flavoring it adds to the Regal. The ST Appearance Package helps the latest Buick Regal Sportback stand out from the crowd thanks to the following content:
- Custom black grille
- Rear sport spoiler
- ST badging
- Unique 18-inch aluminum wheels with Gloss Black finish
This isn’t the first time Buick has offered an ST Appearance Package with the Regal. The previous-generation Regal also came with Sport Touring extras, as introduced with the 2016 model lineup. In addition to upgrading the Buick Regal, the previous ST Appearance Package was also offered with the Buick Encore, Buick Verano, and Buick LaCrosse.

Similarly to the new ST Appearance Package, the previous package featured 18-inch wheels with machined faces and black pockets, plus a larger lip spoiler in back.
For reference, the latest 2020 Buick Regal Sportback Essence is equipped with the turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder LTG engine, which is tuned to produce 250 horsepower. Higher in the range, the Regal GS is equipped with the naturally aspirated 3.6L V6 LGX engine, which produces 310 horsepower.
We will make sure to bring you all the latest when the new package debuts. Until then, make sure to subscribe to GM Authority for more Buick Regal news, Buick news, and around-the-clock GM news coverage.

A micro step in the right direction. Now if we could get clueless GM to actually get some interest back in this vehicle and actually have them available on dealer lots that would be something! They need to advertise the availability of AWD, the clever hatch that looks like a sedan versatility, the best in class std 250 HP, the even more versatile wagon variant and the sporty GS with a V6, all of which aren’t even offered on any Accord. The Regal is a good car and deserves every chance at possible success!
…and next they’re removing the black wheel opening “cladding” on the 2020 TourX for a mid-year enhancement.
(Dare to dream.)
It’s not just the cladding… but also the slightly raised ride height and other small elements that would also need to be deleted in order for the car that you want to exist. That car does exist in Europe as the Insignia Sport Tourer, whereas the TourX is the Country Tourer.
Alas, the Sport Tourer is not part of the North American product lineup. If it were, it would not have been called “TourX”, but likely something else like “Tourer”… without the “X” that indicates the TourX’s more rugged intentions.
I hope that they will promote this car – the Regal and Regal GS and Regal TourX. I saw yesterday a big dealer in Orlando, FL, Orange Buick-GMC, on their website doesn’t even list anything other than Encore, Envision, and Enclave! How does the Regal stand a chance with that?
It kills me the Regal/Malibu/Commodore can all be made in KC but dummy car company wants people to all buy whatever utility vehicle or go to the imports……
Hello, Does anyone know if there are new additional colors offered for the 2020 Model Year Buick Regal GS and also the regular Sportback? If so, what colors are they?
Hello, Also, does the 2020 Model Year Sportback offer an external hands free feature to open the rear hatchback, ie. kick your foot under the rear bumper to open the hatchback?
