PART TRADING: If you have parts you would like to trade please do so at r/partIt Regardless, Buick says the existing Regal GS was already attracting younger buyers, with the average age in their mid-40s, compared to 60 years of age for Buick overall, and the upgrades and refinements for 2014 should continue that trend.Join the /r/MechanicAdvice IRC for instant conversations with other users on libera.chat irc network. Perhaps the biggest hurdle with import brand buyers is getting past the Buick badge on the Regal’s new waterfall grille. Its sporty driving characteristics, willing turbo engine and driver-oriented cockpit are more than competent for the class. While most buyers in this segment aspire to an Audi A4 or BMW 3 Series, the new 2014 Regal - particularly in AWD form - is a legitimate challenger. Using GM’s latest IntelliLink infotainment system screen as a foundation, Buick says the number of buttons have been reduced from 17 to seven in the 2014 model. My biggest beef was its overly complicated centre instrumentation stack. Unlike other AWD setups that use anti-lock brake systems, the Regal’s ELSRD mechanically distributes the power to the wheel that has the most grip, and that technical sophistication shows up immediately when taking the new 2014 Regal GS AWD out for a spin.īuick’s interior designers must have been reading my reviews of the previous model. At the same time, the electronic limited-slip rear differential (ELSRD) can direct torque to either of the rear wheels. Depending on how fast you’re driving or quickly you’re steering, it can send up to 90% of the engine’s torque to either the front or rear axles. If fuel economy is a priority, the carryover $36,325 Regal eAssist, with its 182 hp and 172 lb-ft four-cylinder, is rated at 8.3 L/100 km city and 5.4 on the highway.Ĭomparatively, the Regal’s new AWD setup is quite sophisticated. With its updated turbo-four, Buick says fuel economy improves by up to 17% in the city for the base Regal Turbo automatic, now rated at 10.1 L/100 km and 6.6 on the highway. ![]() ![]() The quickest 2014 Regal is the front-drive GS, taking 6.7 seconds to go from zero to 100 kilometres an hour, with the AWD version about one-third of a second behind. A Haldex all-wheel-drive system with an electronic limited-slip rear differential is a $2,280 option on the Regal Turbo and Regal GS. The bad news? That’s down from the 270 hp the 2013 Regal GS boasted.Įxcept for the front-wheel-drive six-speed manual Regal GS, all 2014 models get a six-speed automatic transmission. The good news is that’s an 18% horsepower boost compared to the outgoing Regal Turbo. Power and torque go up 39 horsepower and 39 pound-feet to 259 hp and 295-lb-ft of torque. In addition to the requisite exterior design, interior and safety upgrades, the $34,695 (all base prices include a $1,600 freight and pre-delivery inspection fee) 2014 Regal Turbo and manual gearbox $42,250 Regal GS get a heavily updated version of last year’s 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder gas engine.
