For performance enthusiasts, a 220-horsepower turbo four-cylinder engine is available now, and there’s a six-speed manual coming, too.

Young blood
Ultimately, those prioritizing fuel efficiency over all-out performance and looking for an upscale, entertaining and well-appointed package should find the Regal CXL strongly worth considering. All said, the new Regal’s dynamic demeanour is one of numerous ways Buick is hoping to attract young blood to their brand. The attractive pricing, high-quality cabin and a leading warranty won’t hurt, either.
