NEW YORK – Buick revealed the new 2014 Regal today, designed to be a sportier and smarter evolution of the brand’s dynamic midsize sedan. New purposeful technologies enhance safety and the driving experience with a more refined turbo engine – along with the introduction of all-wheel drive.

The new Regal also introduces new radar- and camera-based safety features – including Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Lane Change Alert, Side Blind Zone Alert, Lane Departure Warning, Forward Collision Alert and Collision Mitigation Braking – for surround protection. In-vehicle connectivity is enhanced with next-generation IntelliLink, featuring simpler, more intuitive controls and natural speech recognition.

Adaptive Cruise Control is also offered. It senses traffic in front of the Regal to adjust vehicle speed, including stopping the vehicle in heavy traffic and accelerating again.

“The new 2014 Regal is more expressive, more connected and more technologically advanced,” said Tony DiSalle, U.S. vice president of Buick Marketing. “ Nearly half of new Regal buyers are conquests who are new to Buick and they represent the youngest median age among the brand’s lineup.

“The new Regal gives those discerning buyers more of the technologically advanced features they want in a modern luxury sedan, all with the style and refinement they expect from Buick.”

New front and rear styling, with bold, signature wing-shape LED daytime running lamps and LED taillamps were designed to give Regal a more contemporary and premium presence. The interior features a redesigned central instrument panel and console along with a new fashion interior trim combination.

The new 2.0L turbo engine delivers 18 percent more horsepower in the Regal Turbo, for a greater feeling of on-demand power The available Haldex all-wheel-drive system helps make the most of traction in all driving conditions and also enhances the cornering capability of the Regal GS when driven in the GS mode of the Interactive Drive Control System.

A 2.4L engine with eAssist light electrification technology is also available on the 2014 Regal. Six-speed automatic transmissions are matched with both engines and a six-speed manual is available in the Regal GS. Electric power steering is now featured on all models.

The new Regal makes its public debut at the New York International Auto Show, where it will be on display March 29-April 7. It goes on sale this fall.

Nice, but then again it looks like every other car on the road. I like to be different.

RoadMonkey · 03-26-2013, 12:31 PM

We think it is a nice ride. The wife was very interested in the '13 model of this car, but after she had a chance to touch and feel it...no longer interested. Nothing against the car, just not what she was looking for.

G-Oil Guy · 03-26-2013, 12:53 PM

Well I was on the fence with a 13 GS. may as well see what happens with this one.

Does the GS still come in a manny?

FenwickHockey65 · 03-26-2013, 12:57 PM

Yes. FWD only though.

Scrappy Doo · 03-26-2013, 01:27 PM

Not bad.

razorduck · 03-26-2013, 01:40 PM

I don't care much for the exterior, not bad but kind of vanilla, but I love the interior.

If this will only be offered in FWD, I'd much prefer they don't use that name.

SimpleGreen · 03-26-2013, 09:31 PM

I would buy the hell out of that red one. Very nice, IMO.
