The 2019 Buick Regal: Sportback, TourX, and GS

There are three distinct versions of the 2019 Buick Regal which should all be taken into account before a car buyer commits to a new Buick in 2019. Though they are all built on the same basic model of Regal, these versions offer something a little different for different type of buyers. These include the 2019 Buick Regal Sportback, the 2019 Buick Regal TourX, and the 2019 Buick Regal GS. The Sportback is a midsize car with a hatchback trunk, the TourX is a wagon version of the Regal that comes with AWD, and the GS is a luxury sedan for those who require a little extra in their ride.

To understand these unique versions of the 2019 Buick Regal a little better, take a look below:

The 2019 Buick Regal Sportback

The Sportback version of the 2019 Buick Regal is a comfortable mid-size sedan, though it feels much more spacious on the inside and can comfortably seat up to 5 people. This car replaced the Regal Sedan and now incorporates a liftback configuration which makes it easy for drivers to bring along just about anything. The total cargo capacity of this car is 60.7 cu. feet. Golf clubs and grocery bags alike are easy to access and store with the hatchback configuration, and its coupe-like styling hides the fact that this sedan is really a hatchback.

The 2019 Buick Regal Sportback comes with a 2.0L Turbo Engine that provides 250 horsepower, so you know that you’ll always have plenty of power to navigate the road with ease and accelerate quickly. You can expect to get up to 22 MPG in the city and 32 MPG when you’re driving on the highways.

The 2019 Buick Regal TourX

The TourX version of the 2019 Buick Regal is a wagon that is ready to take you and your family just about anywhere you need to go.

Cargo capacity is generally something that car buyers consider before committing to a new car. Its cargo capacity is something you value highly, the TourX won’t disappoint with its 73.5 cu. feet of cargo capacity. The Regal TourX also has a hands-free power liftgate feature which automatically lifts that liftgate in the rear without touch. Just kick your foot out under an LED projection and the gate will open or close on command! This is especially helpful if you’re frequently carrying cargo in the back or have kids to wrangle. Integrated roof rails with available accessory crossbars help to make the Regal TourX even more versatile!
