The new 2018 Buick Regal will be offered in the same
sportback and wagon guises as the Opel Insignia Grand Sport and debut publicly
at New York Auto Show next month.
Although General Motors unveiled the new Insignia
Grand Sport late last year alongside its Holden Commodore sibling, the debut of
the new Regal has yet to happen. Although it’s unclear why we haven’t seen it
yet, all indications point towards it being almost identical to the Insignia
albeit for the Buick badges and front grille.
When launched, the Regal sportback will replace the
more traditionally-shaped Regal sedan in the company’s range. The wagon version
will be a first for the Regal family and provide the vehicle with more
practicality, versatility and if the Insignia Sports Tourer’s design is largely
unchanged, may look even better than the sportback.
It should get the same
engines as the Insignia including a range-topping 247 hp, 2.0-liter turbo
petrol.
