Reviews SummaryPerhaps Buick’s most recognizable nameplate, the Regal has been a staple of the tri-shield’s stable for more than four decades. More than that, it’s been one of GM’s more successful attempts to attract new buyers to the brand, with the company claiming more than 40% of Regal buyers in the previous generation came from non-GM brands. For this new generation, Buick is trying something different with the Regal, offering fastback sedan and wagon variants, as well as a performance GS version that sees the Regal boasting V6 power for the first time in 13 years. | |
Reviews SummaryLike many brands, crossover SUVs are now Buick's stock and trade. The venerable General Motors division now exclusively sells crossovers, in fact. And for the 2024 model year, there's a new name in the lineup. The 2024 Buick Envista is the company's new entry-level model, replacing the Buick Encore and slotting below the Buick Encore GX (which confusingly keeps that name despite there no longer being a standard Encore). The Envista shares most hardware with the redesigned 2024 Chevrolet Trax but, as with all Buick models, it aims for a more upscale feel than its Bowtie-badged counterpart. This new model launches in three guises. The Envista Preferred is the base model, the Sport Touring (ST) adds sporty styling touches, and the Avenir is the range topper. We sampled an Envista ST in Ann Arbor, Michigan on some of the same roads GM engineers used to tune this new addition to the Buick lineup. | |
