Restyled 2014 Buick Regal adds AWD, Regal GS loses power

Although the current Buick Regal hasn't even been on the market for very long, General Motors is using the New York Auto Show to unveil an updated version of the sedan in a similar fashion to what we saw yesterday with the 2014 LaCrosse. Like the LaCrosse, all 2014 Regal models will be getting a new look both for the exterior and interior design, but the big news takes place under the sedan's skin.

Except for the base Regal eAssist, the Regal Turbo and Regal GS will both be adding the benefit of all-wheel drive, but there is no word as to how much weight this system will add to each car's curb weight. The Regal Turbo's 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder has received a decent bump in output from 220 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque to 259 hp and 295 lb-ft; unfortunately, these same figures are carried over to the Regal GS, which means that car drops from 270 hp. Both turbocharged models (Regal Turbo and Regal GS) will now be offered with all-wheel drive and the ability of sending more than 90 percent of the engine's torque to the rear wheels.

In terms of styling, the 2014 Regal gets similar styling changes found on the updated Enclave and LaCrosse, including reworked fascias, scalloped headlights and a full-width chrome strip spanning between the new LED taillights. Inside, key changes were made to the Regal's cabin technology, such as the instrument gauge cluster and infotainment system. On the Regal and Regal Turbo, a new 4.2-inch color display is available for drivers to see information for the vehicle, navigation and audio systems, but the Regal GS' cabin is slightly different with an eight-inch configurable gauge display. One of the best changes may be the overall reduction in buttons on the center stack, creating a cleaner-looking and easier-to-use cabin.

Like the 2014 LaCrosse, the 2014 Regal will also get updated safety and infotainment technology. The next-generation IntelliLink system improves connectivity with better voice recognition and higher levels of customization that include a customizable, five-button top menu and a lower menu that can store up to 60 favorites for the audio, phone and even navigation systems. As for safety, the Regal gets two new optional packages that add forward collision alert, land change alert, rear cross traffic alert and an adaptive cruise control system.

The new 2014 Buick Regal goes on sale this fall.

Shaq Returns to TV in New Spot for LaCrosse

Former basketball star finds unexpected space and fuel economy in luxury sedan

 

 

DETROIT – Shaquille O’Neal returns to TV screens across the country this weekend in a new Buick TV spot titled “More Than I Expected,” the latest in the “You Don’t Know Buick” campaign. In his second ad for the LaCrosse, the basketball legend discovers it offers more than a typical luxury sedan.

“The fuel efficiency, the sleekness of it, the way it feels, I just think it’s a beautiful car.” O’Neal said about the LaCrosse in a behind-the-scenes video. “I don’t like commercials where they force stuff at you. We just want to tell them how the car looks, and we want to let them know we’re trying to save them some of that gas money.”

The 2013 LaCrosse luxury sedan comes standard with eAssist, a technology that uses a compact lithium-ion battery pack and small electric motor to aid performance of a fuel-efficient 2.4-liter gas engine. It allows the LaCrosse to achieve an EPA-estimated 36 mpg on the highway without sacrificing the sedan’s spacious cabin.

As O’Neal says to close the commercial, “Like my Mom said the day I was born, ‘Wow, that’s a lot more than I expected.’”

Buick is a modern luxury brand offering vehicles with sculpted designs, luxurious interiors with thoughtful personal technologies, along with responsive-yet-efficient performance. Buick is attracting new customers with its portfolio of award-winning luxury models, including the Enclave crossover, LaCrosse sedan, Regal sport sedan, Buick Verano sedan and the all-new 2013 Encore crossover.

Built-In Wi-Fi Hot Spot Coming in 2014

 

General Motors isn't the first automaker to deliver in-car Internet access, but a proposed plan announced today could make the technology more widespread than any of its competitors have offered. By the 2015 model year, most Buick and GMC products in the US and Canada will offer 4G LTE mobile broadband access. Initially, GM will just be pairing with AT&T to deliver this service, but additional carriers will be revealed in the future.

Current in-car Wi-Fi hot spots are limited to 3G, but GM says that 4G LTE is 10 times faster than 3G service and will allow for full Internet access, including streaming video for entertainment as well as services like real-time traffic updates and navigation driving directions. There is also no need for a paired smartphone with this new system, which should make it easier to use, and GM and AT&T will also be working together to develop new apps for customers.

Buyers can expect to start seeing 4G LTE in their cars starting next year, and GM is already planning to expand the service to other global markets as well. All of the information from GM's announcement is posted in a press release below.
