Buick Regal 2011-2017 Specifications

The 2011-2017 Buick Regal offers two engine options: a 2.0L turbocharged inline-4 producing 220 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque, and a 2.4L naturally aspirated inline-4 producing 182 hp and 172 lb-ft of torque. The turbocharged engine provides superior acceleration and performance, while the naturally aspirated engine focuses on fuel efficiency.

The Buick Regal is available with a 6-speed automatic transmission for both engine options. The turbocharged engine also offers a 6-speed manual transmission in certain trim levels for enhanced driving engagement.

Standard safety features include anti-lock brakes, stability control, traction control, and multiple airbags. Optional features include adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, forward collision alert, and a rearview camera.

The 2.0L turbocharged engine achieves 19 mpg city/30 mpg highway, while the 2.4L engine achieves 20 mpg city/31 mpg highway. These figures are competitive with similar vehicles like the Acura TSX and Volvo S60 from the same era.

Buick recommends oil changes every 7,500 miles, tire rotations every 7,500 miles, and a comprehensive inspection every 15,000 miles. Always refer to the owner's manual for detailed maintenance schedules.

Notable features include a touchscreen infotainment system with navigation, Bose premium audio, heated leather seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a panoramic sunroof. Higher trims offer additional luxuries like adaptive suspension and advanced driver-assistance systems.

The Regal offers 14.2 cubic feet of trunk space and comfortable seating for five. This is slightly less than competitors like the Honda Accord but comparable to the Acura TSX.

The Buick Regal is not designed for towing. Its focus is on passenger comfort and performance rather than cargo or towing capacity.
