The American automobile manufacturer Buick is well known throughout the world. One of the latest innovations from the manufacturer was the sixth generation Buick Regal, presented in 2017. The car is not new on the market, the first generation was introduced back in 1973, but during the period of its existence it has established itself on the positive side.

The new Buick Regal 2017-2019 belongs to the premium class, as it boasts a good build and good functionality. By body type, a liftback and a station wagon are offered to choose from, in our case, consider the Buick Regal 2017, also referred to as the Sportback. Compared to the fifth generation, the car has changed quite well, due to which it stands out clearly from other models. The novelty has received a more strict look externally and internally, updated characteristics and equipment.

Exterior of the new Buick Regal 2017-2019

The appearance of the new Buick Regal 2017-2019 liftback is hard to confuse with other cars, although some motorists say that it resembles the Volvo S60, as well as some Audi liftbacks. Rather, this is due to the fact that in the measure of the emergence of demand for certain new items, manufacturers try not to miss a position and thus modify new models, moving away from the presented concepts. Judging from the whole Buick Regal 2017-2019 was no exception.

The central part of the 2017-2019 Buick Regal liftback really resembles a Volvo in some way, but in fact it is the same new Opel Insignia 2018, formidable front optics and a dedicated radiator grill. According to the standard for the front optics of the liftback, halogen headlights with directional lenses were used, the more expensive Buick Regal 2019 trim levels will acquire matrix LED headlights with an adaptive function.

Most of all, the front optics of the Buick Regal 2017-2019 are emphasized by the LED lines of the daytime running lights, they also serve as direction indicators at the same time. In addition, the optics background was painted black, which gives additional rigor to the liftback. In a pair to the optics, on the side of the Buick Regal 2017-2019, standard direction indicators are added in all trim levels.

The new style is no less emphasized by the classic Buick Regal 2017-2019 radiator grille. With minor modifications, the designers carried it over from the previous generation of the liftback. Along the contour, the grille is decorated with a chrome edging, but the center can be made of black or chrome-plated vertical strips. The emblem of the company has also been improved, now it is colored for three shields, and two chrome horizontal lines extend to the sides.

The front bumper of the 2017-2019 Buick Regal liftback has changed for the better, with a more open additional grille in the center and rectangular LED fog lights on the sides. Due to changes in the bumper, the ground clearance has slightly increased. This is quite an important detail, since the owners of the fifth generation often complained that they were scribbling with a bumper over the bumps in the road.

The changes also affected the hood of the new Buick Regal 2018, the central part is divided by a raised line, and a curved line stretches from the front optics to the front struts. As for the liftback windshield, although it is not panoramic, it has changed in size. The standard set of Buick Regal 2017-2019 includes a heating system for the windshield in the area of ​​the wiper parking area, but the maximum configuration of the novelty will acquire full heated glass around the perimeter.

The side of the 2017-2019 Buick Regal liftback received fewer changes. From the design, new curved lines on the door panels can be noted, one extends along the side to the rear stops, the second at the bottom of the doors replaces the moldings. Although, for a fee, the buyer can add plastic moldings to match the body color or chrome.

The door handles of the 2017-2019 Buick Regal liftback remained the same, with a stretch on themselves. The presence of a button on the driver's handle indicates a keyless entry system, which is also increasingly becoming a standard option for many cars. Side mirrors have changed their shape and style, they have become smaller in size and more elongated on the sides. The standard set includes electrically adjustable mirrors and automatic folding. Top versions of the 2017-2019 Buick Regal will get heated mirrors and memory. For unknown reasons, repeaters are not included in the standard set of side mirrors, although they promise to be installed as an option.

If you look closely, from the side, the new Buick Regal 2017-2019 resembles the new models of Volkswagen sedans in many details. In particular, the location of the side windows and the chrome surround around the windows. If desired, the Buick Regal 2017 buyer can replace the chrome edging with a black one.

The body color of the Buick Regal 2017-2019 remained almost the same:

• dark blue;
• burgundy;
• dark green;
• silver;
• white;
• the black;
• snow white;
• grey.

Additional shades of Buick Regal 2017-2019 or individual body color are not provided. The manufacturer preferred to limit the choice in order to preserve the liftback design as much as possible.

Given the geometry of the rear of the 2017-2019 Buick Regal, at first glance it seems that this is a sedan, but in fact the car belongs to the liftback class. Due to the peculiar shape of the roof, with a large slope and a small rear part of the trunk, the designers managed to give a new style to the Buick Regal 2019. The trunk opens in the same way as in most Volkswagen cars, just click on the lower part of the company emblem.

The end part of the trunk lid is slightly raised, thereby imitating a spoiler. The boot lid of the 2017-2019 Buick Regal itself is large (opens in a pair with the rear window) and is much more comfortable in height than in the previous generation. Most of the changes were made on the rear feet of the liftback, in all trim levels they are LED with well-defined elements. As expected, part of the stops were placed on the trunk lid, and the second part on the body of the Buick Regal 2017-2019 liftback.

The minimum changes were made to the rear bumper of the Buick Regal 2017-2019. In the lower part there is a recess for license plates, next to a rear-view camera and a pair of sensors. The very bottom of the bumper received a small plastic insert, with LED fog lights and two exhaust tips.

The last detail to consider at the 2017-2019 Buick Regal is the roof. Despite the fact that the liftback was classified as a premium car, the roof will be solid as standard, it is optionally offered to add an electric sunroof, but the maximum Buick Regal 2017-2019 will get a panoramic roof with a sliding front part. Completing the roof design of the liftback is a small shark fin antenna, and the overall look of the new Buick Regal 2017-2019 liftback is attractive. The designers tried to collect in it the classic, recognizable features of the brand, adding a little European style. In terms of configuration, the manufacturer offers to complete the Buick Regal 2017-2019 with different chrome inserts and overlays. For the rest, the external difference in trim levels will be minimal.

The interior of the new Buick Regal 2017-2019

Unlike the appearance of the 2017-2019 Buick Regal, which received more European features, the liftback interior was rather modernized than completely redone. Many parts of the new interior have received sharper shapes, but there are fewer rounded corners. Depending on the chosen interior color of the Buick Regal 2017-2019, the front panel can be solid black or two-tone, for example, black and beige or black and gray.

The very center of the Buick Regal 2017-2019 panel is occupied by a new multimedia, unlike previous generations, the display has also become modern.It is based on a 7 ″ or 8 ″ touchscreen display with the new Android Auto and Apple CarPlay system, as standard, a 4G LTE mobile connection and a Wi-Fi hotspot are included in the liftback set. On the sides of the display, rectangular air ducts are installed, and a little lower is the control panel for the audio system of the liftback. At the buyer's choice of Buick Regal 2017-2019, the manufacturer offers to install 6 or 8 speakers of the audio system.

Finishes off the center section, a dual-zone climate control panel with two small monochrome screens. The situation is two-faced, many manufacturers are transferring such displays to the multimedia screen, but here they decided to leave it as before, which says a little about the old version of the panel. It is worth noting that the entire central part of the Buick Regal 2017-2019 panel is wrapped in the driver's side, this spoils the design and is inconvenient for the front passenger.

The tunnel between the front seats is quite well executed. At the front, the charging elements and the cigarette lighter are hidden behind a decorative plug, you can charge gadgets using a USB port, a 12V outlet and Qi wireless charging (in the top configuration). The gear lever is highlighted by a silver insert, if desired, it can be painted black or decorated with wood. The set of control buttons around the gearshift lever is minimal, and cannot be compared with modern premium cars, in other words, the manufacturer saved a little on this.

In front of the gearshift lever there is a small control panel for security systems, behind the button for the electromechanical parking brake and two cupholders, simple and tasteful. In the classic style, the designers of the Buick Regal 2017-2019 made the armrest between the front seats. In some configurations, it is simple with a compartment for storing small items, while others will add a cooling function with a removable interior. The back of the armrest was decorated with two air ducts and rechargers.

The 2017 Buick Regal liftback seats are almost unchanged, with a rounded front end and low headrests. This is another detail where the manufacturer has saved on a luxury liftback. As standard, the seats come with mechanical adjustment and without heating, more expensive options will still receive heating and electronic adjustment. The driver's seat can be adjusted in 8 or 12 directions, but the front passenger seat can only be adjusted in 6 directions. For an additional fee, these options can also be added to regular 2017-2019 Buick Regal models.

The second row of seats of the Buick Regal 2017-2019 liftback is designed for a full-fledged boarding of three passengers. The standard folding ratio is 60/40, with a center armrest integrated in the backrest. The manufacturer classifies the new Buick Regal 2017-2019 as a premium car, but in fact there is no special luxury as such.

The interior colors of the new Buick Regal 2017-2019 are not varied:

1. the black;
2. grey;
3. beige;
4. brown;
5. burgundy;
6. white.

More interestingly, high-quality fabric is used as the upholstery of the 2017 Buick Regal interior for the basic configuration, and this once again confirms the car's attitude to the lower premium class. The top trim levels of the liftback will receive leather upholstery, with solid leather on the sides and perforated in the center. For leather upholstery, the manufacturer offers not only solid shades, but also a combination at the request of the buyer.

The driver's seat of the 2017-2019 Buick Regal liftback is made in a characteristic American style. The designers did not change the feature of the instrument panel, leaving a combination of analog and digital gauges. The center of the liftback dashboard is decorated with a color display of the on-board computer, as a rule, information about the condition of the engine and the car as a whole will be displayed on it. The driver can also customize individual indicators at will, including tips on the navigation system.

The speedometer, tachometer, fuel level and engine temperature gauges are located around the display in the style of American muscle cars. The steering wheel of the Buick Regal 2017-2019 liftback turned out to be quite massive, the designers used only leather as upholstery, and decorated it with chrome inserts to give it a more expensive look. The steering wheel is designed for three spokes, two side and one center from the bottom. The top two are reserved for functional control buttons.

Unlike the 5th generation, the 6th Buick Regal 2017 boasts mobile communications control, all kinds of multimedia settings and climate control. The steering wheel can be set both in height and in depth, which is also becoming the standard for modern cars. Considering all the settings of the liftback, we can confidently say that there is plenty of space in the Buick Regal 2017 cabin and a passenger of any configuration can be accommodated. Depending on the configuration of the liftback, the interior can be modified, but the main details will be standard. Most of the changes will affect the cladding and decoration, as well as individual functional systems.
