5 reasons to buy the 2015 Buick Regal

Newly introduced for the 2015 model year, the Regal sedan has an available OnStar® 4G Wi-Fi hotspot.

This available technology can connect up to seven devices for online browsing, streaming, emailing, and more. If your vehicle doubles up as your office as you move between appointments, or your regular crew of friends like to stay online while they travel with you, this functionality allows for uninterrupted connectivity on the go.  

2. Engine options 

The 2015 Regal's standard engine option is a 259-hp turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder, ideally suited to busy commutes that require assertive acceleration. If you regularly drive longer distances and would appreciate more miles between fill-ups, consider the Premium I trim’s optional powertrain. This 2.4L four-cylinder engine features eAssist mild hybrid technology, working synergistically to achieve an EPA-estimated 35 mpg on the highway.

If you’re shopping for your next sedan and want something that feels upscale, the 2015 Regal has the features you crave as standard. Indulgent standard inclusions such as leather upholstery, front-row heat functionality, and interior ambient lighting all convey an everyday elegance that will brighten your days behind the wheel. For your travel companions, discrete door cubbies stow their travel essentials securely nearby, while the rear row also features a fold-down inboard armrest with built-in cup holders. 

4. Available driver aids 

In addition to its luxury-appointed features, the 2015 Regal offers plenty of practicalities too. Included as standard for easier highway driving is cruise control functionality, while your efforts in that tight parking garage can be assisted by a rearview camera. Pick a 2015 Regal with the Driver Confidence (1) package, and you’ll also gain driver aids that offer assistance in busy traffic, like blind-spot monitoring and lane departure warning. 

5. Audio options
