2018 Buick Regal Sportback | CarGurus Test Drive Review

Buick dares to be different by offering its long-lived Regal in two new shapes for 2018, a Sportback and a TourX wagon. Both are interesting, but our reviewer spent a week with the flagship Sportback, the GS AWD (all-wheel drive), which offers a wealth of cargo room in addition to a great V6 that’s also used in the Camaro and a number of Cadillacs. He prefers the power delivery of the 9-speed transmission that’s used in front-wheel-drive versions and with the V6, but the new 8-speed in other all-wheel-drive trims is expected to drive significantly improved mileage estimates from the EPA.

The Sportback’s 31.5 cubic feet of trunk space – 60.7 with the back seats down - puts it into competition with some hatchbacks and small crossovers. The materials and look and feel of the interior are strong, but not exceptionally so, and the new Regal is one of a number of new cars with visibility issues, particularly in the driver’s rear-quarter views.
