2020 Buick Regal GS Looks Great In Black: Live Photo Gallery

First introduced for the 2018 model year, the current-generation Buick Regal GS is, without a doubt, one fine premium sport sedan. Set apart from other, lesser Regal models by the naturally-aspirated 3.6L V6 LGX engine (making 310 horsepower and 282 pound-feet of torque) and an intelligent AWD system with active dual-clutch, Continuous Damping Control (CDC) and a five-link rear suspension, the Regal GS is the athlete of the family that aims to deliver spirited driving performance without breaking the bank.

But as good as the Regal GS is, it’s a rarity on the road thanks to rather minuscule sales volume. So we caught up with the 2020 Buick Regal GS in Ebony Twilight Metallic (black), and are bringing you this live photo gallery from the floor of the recent Miami International Auto Show.

The 2020 Buick Regal GS exterior utilizes the latest Buick design language, with understated yet aggressive cues. For instance, the front end features a unique fascia, consisting of a GS-specific grille with red GS badging, plus enlarged intakes at the edges of the fascia. This particular example is also equipped with the full-LED headlamps.

The side profile reveals the coupe-like shape, while the shorter decklid vaguely hints at the Sportback body style (more on that later). Unique to the GS model are side skirts and 19-inch wheels with dark accents hiding red calipers.

The rear end of the 2020 Buick Regal GS features an aggressive rear fascia, with a decklid spoiler, GS badging, and through-fascia dual exhaust.

Also take note that this particular unit does not have “Buick” spelled out at the rear. Before, it was spelled out beneath the driver-side taillight. GM removed the brand plate from all Buick models starting with the 2019 model year.

The Regal seen here is the “Sportback” body style, which looks like a sedan, but has a liftback-style trunk that lifts both the trunk and rear glass. This configuration increases the load capacity of the trunk. In the U.S., the Regal is offered in the aforementioned Regal Sportback as well as the TourX body style, which is a ruggedized wagon with palatial amounts of cargo room. In China, the Regal is available exclusively as a traditional four-door sedan.

Like all current-generation Regal models, the 2020 Buick Regal GS continues to be produced under contract in Germany by Opel, an ex-GM division that the automaker sold to PSA Groupe in 2017. Because of the rather complicated and unclear nature of the relationship, along with the dwindling demand for sedans, the future of the Regal family in the U.S. is unclear as of this writing. Nevertheless, the 2020 Regal GS is currently on sale across the U.S. and Canada – so grab one if you can.

  1. GM needs to start using the European spoiler in lieu of the one they have been using. European spoiler makes the rear of the complete look more complete and finished.

    1. Those seats are the single worst thing about this car and why I could never buy one. The backrest literally feels like numerous rock hard fists are being shoved into your spine. Truly horrible!

  6. We have a 2019 Regal Sport Back G S. and we love it no problems with it except with the USP not working properly when playing music. It will on many occasion’s say, ( no device connected) they have replaced the infotainment system (radio and usb ports and still does not work properly!? I traded in a 2015 Cadillac ATS Coupe and the usb never acted up on it. Also it works as it should on our 2019 Corvette Grand Sport. Would appreciate any feed back on this problem. Thank You. B J R.

  7. Hello,
    Can anyone confirm what colors are available for the 2020 Model Year Buick Regal G S for the Canadian market, or, is the color selection the same as in Model Year 2019? Also, is there an “easy open” feature available for the rear hatchback, ie. kick your foot under the rear bumper to open the hatchback? Any answers to these 2 questions would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

    3. Joe we really like our 2019 wit exception of the stiff old style bucket seats but the leather style and quality are great. Noe one thing I am really pissed about is being a $52.000 CDN car is the fact it has only one way to open the the hatch and that is to bush on the bottom of the large Buick emblem on the back lower of the hatch. There is no button on the key-less open on the fob and no button in the interior of car, just ridiculous. Wanted to order a 2020 but did not want wait 3 or 4 months to get and there was no pricing out yet ion Sept. So had them to a search for me and I wanted a Red totally loaded and they found it for me in Bancroft Ontario which was a 13 hr round trip for them back to Amherstburg Ontario (30 minutes from Windsor ) No it did not cost me extra for them at Amherstburg Chevy to retrieve it as I get GM Family discount pricing. But what really got me was that I had a couple of Chevy Cruise for loner’s and they had all 3 ways to get into the trunk go figure! Now go on line and look for GM site and look for build and price if the 20 is out yet and or call the Gm 800 # for help 1-800-263-3777 Good luck. Barry Renaud Corvette Club Of Windsor Ontario P S give me a call if I can help you. 519-736-7753.

  8. One reason it doesn’t sell well is that most dealers don’t stock it.

    Could also be those wanting a built in USA car, don’t want a German car or they would buy BMW.

    Reply
    1. Well, if that is the case, why do the Encore and Envision sell when the former is built in South Korea and the latter is built in China? Oh, and how is Flint, Michigan doing these days?

    2. a BMW made in North Carolina?

  9. I think the new Buick Regal is a very nice car with so much potential to compete with the Accord, Camry, and Altima. But GM doesn’t maximize its potential. For example, GM should put some better looking sporty rims on the base models instead of the plain boring ones it comes with. Or just give the buyer some sporty wheel rim options on the base models. And the higher trim wheel rims (except for the GS model) make the car look like it is an old person’s car (nothing wrong with that but they need to sell to the younger buyers too). And make the LED head lights standard on all the trim levels instead of having to buy the convenience package just to get LED front lights. It seems like GM tries to make their base models look and feel so plain and try to get you to spend lots of money to get the better trim packages like the GS. But nobody wants to spend all that money on the higher trim levels and they don’t care for the plain looking lower models so they don’t buy the car. And has anyone ever seen a new Buick Regal commercial? I haven’t. Maybe that’s why it doesn’t sell either.

  10. I have a 2019 Regal GS fully loaded and I enjoy it every day.

    It’s disappointing to read that the future of the CT6 is practically zero based on current announcements.
    Let’s consider that Genesis is bringing out the new G90 sedan.

    So that means that Genesis will be moving upmarket and essentially in a matter of time leave Cadillac behind.

    I think that GM is still operating in “survival” mode.

    I think that they’re grossly overestimating future market demand by dialing up on electrified models prematurely.

    If GM is able to develop electric models that have a 300 + mile range and that can be charged within 10 minutes to 90% at any gas station then I will line up to get one.

    Until then I am perfectly happy enjoying a vehicle with an internal combustion engine.

  11. If they offered a Regal wagon with the V6 and delete black plastic fender opening moldings I would be first in line to get one.
