Pros
According to various scholars, the 2013 Buick Regal eAssist features precise communicative steering, a modern cockpit and comfortable seats.

Exterior Styling
The Regal eAssist is equipped with daytime running lights and automatic headlights with auto-timer. The heated/electric side rearview mirrors can be manually retracted. An optional power sunroof is also available.
The spacious interior offers comfortable seating, although rear-passenger headroom is at a premium. The 4-spoke, leather-covered steering wheel has integrated Bluetooth, audio, and speed controls.
Cargo Capacity
The trunk of the 2013 Buick Regal eAssist offers 314 litres of storage space.
