Engines & Transmissions

Shanghai GM | Buick | Regal Sedan | 1.5L I4 Turbo LFVÂ DOHC | Front wheel drive | GM 9-speed auto | 165 / 125 @ 5600 | 185 / 252 @ 2000-4000 | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Production
The 2019 Buick Regal Sedan is produced at the SGM Jinqiao plant operated by Shanghai GM (SGM), a joint venture between GM China and its Chinese partner, SAIC.
Availability
The 2019 Buick Regal Sedan follows the regular GM model year rollover sequence in China, which notably doesn’t have model years, and launches in the second quarter of the 2018 calendar year.
Regal GS
The 2018 Regal Sedan has a Regal GS derivative that features unique exterior and interior design. Unlike the North American-market Regal GS, the Chinese-market model does not get a different engine, but is instead limited to exterior, interior and chassis enhancements – with no changes to the powertrain.
The exterior of the Chinese-market Regal GS has a black wing grille with bright black wing strips and upright “fangs.” The distinct grille is complemented by a body kit under the front bumper and new 18-inch black five-spoke sports hubs. Its integrated aerodynamic tail comes alive with chrome-plated dual exhausts, an expanded body kit and a red GS badge.
The GS features exclusive black sports interior, including a flat-bottom steering wheel with a metal shift paddle and sporty seats certified by AktionGesunderRücken (AGR).
The new FlexRide adaptive driving system allows the driver to switch between Auto, Comfort and Sporty modes. Combined with new-generation Continuous Damping Control (CDC), it scans road conditions and adjusts damping in real time for comfort and maneuverability. Brembo four-piston front brake calipers in combination with FNC brake discs enhance braking.
Global Variants
The sixth-generation Buick Regal is available in several body styles and variants in various global markets. The Buick Regal Sedan, however, is not available in any other market except for China.
Following are all the major derivatives of the sixth-generation Regal family.
