Buick introduces its 2018 Regal GS

The 2018 Buick Regal GS has made its official debut, a release on the Graff Mount Pleasant website said.

The GS has all the features of the standard Regal, with a few extra perks. The GS has an upgraded engine that has 51 more horsepower than the standard Regal engine. The GS also has improved all-wheel drive, heated and cooled seats that adjust according to the temperature outside, plus interactive driving controls that allow the driver to customize the vehicle's dynamics.

Other features include a nine-speed automatic transmission, performance seats with adjustable massaging bolsters and thigh support; sport fascias, side skirts and rear spoiler; 19-inch wheels; performance brakes; and a sport-tuned exhaust.

“This is a sport sedan designed for everyday driving, but one that makes every drive special,” Duncan Aldred, vice president of Global Buick and GMC, said in the release. “The new Regal GS is in the sweet spot of the market: more refined and luxurious than the mainstream, more value for the price with style and premium features on par with higher-end competitors, and with standard features like AWD with active twin clutch and a rear sportback design that will surprise customers with its usefulness.”
