Rugged utility and upscale amenities are purpose-built for active lifestyles
All-New Buick Regal TourX |
2018 Buick Regal TourX |
The TourX rides higher than its Sportback counterpart, enabling
greater capability. Its rugged exterior appearance, standard roof rails,
interior amenities, standard intelligent all-wheel drive (AWD) with
active twin-clutch and functional cargo area epitomize upscale utility,
capability and convenience backed by the quality and safety expected
from Buick.
With the new Buick Regal TourX and Sportback, Buick now offers two new
products that expand the expectations and opportunity for individuality
in the premium midsize segment. One is a sports sedan with sleek,
coupe-like design with five-door versatility; the other, a vehicle with
the drive dynamics of a car but with all the usefulness of an SUV.
Highlights of Buick Regal TourX:
- It has more overall cargo space than the Volvo V60 Cross Country, the Audi A4 Allroad, BMW 3-series Sport Wagon and the Subaru Outback, with up to 73.5 cubic feet behind the front seats.
- Standard intelligent AWD with active twin-clutch provides improved vehicle control and efficiency in any condition.
- The purpose-built exterior’s ride height increased over the Regal Sportback and it has durable fascia and fender moldings.
- The hands-free power liftgate has a Buick tri-shield logo lamp that illuminates the ground beneath the sensor, standard on upper trim levels.
- The 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine produces 250 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque.
- Customer-minded available accessories including a variable roof rack, portable Bluetooth speaker and keyless keypad entry.
- An eight-speed automatic transmission is standard.
- Safety innovations include a Buick-first active hood pedestrian safety system, Front Pedestrian Braking and Lane Keep Assist.
Memorable adventures need capable performance, and TourX answers the
call with a standard 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine
featuring 250 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. That power is routed
to the ground via a standard eight-speed automatic transmission and
intelligent AWD with active twin-clutch for greater control on any
surface. The engine also comes standard with advanced start/stop
technology.
Also offered on the Regal Sportback, Envision and LaCrosse, Buick’s innovative new system uses two clutches at the rear wheels for seamless, smart torque distribution. Beneficial not just in snowy weather but also during spirited driving, the system relies less on braking to maintain maximum performance and efficiency.
Compared to the 2018 Buick Regal Sportback, the TourX is 3.4 inches longer,
showcasing a confident side profile and a roofline accent piece that
arches along the entire length of the roof and D-pillar, eventually
culminating in the LED-accented taillights.
Up front, Buick’s winged grille is flanked by standard LED daytime
running lights and available LED headlights that are thinner and more
landscaped to enhance the low, wide appearance of the front end.

Every Buick Regal TourX also comes equipped with an OnStar 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot (AT&T data plan purchase required after limited data trial period) and five years of the OnStar Basic Plan[1] at no additional cost. Among other benefits like an industry-leading myBuick app, this connectivity plan features OnStar Smart Driver, an opt-in service designed to help Buick owners maximize their vehicle’s overall performance and become better drivers.
A 7-inch infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
compatibility is standard on TourX and Preferred trims, while an 8-inch
system is standard on the Essence trim with available embedded
navigation optional. Bose premium audio with an innovative subwoofer
mounted in the spare tire well is also standard with active noise
cancellation.
The 2018 Buick Regal TourX offers new levels of crash prevention and
protection. Along with the Regal Sportback, it is the first Buick to
offer a standard active hood pedestrian safety system that senses the
imminent impact of a pedestrian between 16-30 mph and uses a pyrotechnic
actuator to lift the back of the hood up about 4 inches to lessen the
impact and potentially reduce injury.
The BuickRegal TourX’s available Driver Confidence I package adds popular
active safety features including Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone
Alert, Rear Cross Traffic Alert and Rear Park Assist. A more advanced
Driver Confidence II package adds Front Pedestrian Braking, Lane Keep
Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Forward Collision Alert and Adaptive
Cruise Control with Forward Automatic Braking.
Available in three trim levels — TourX, Preferred and Essence — TourX is designed around a lifestyle and exposes a new generation and a new segment of buyers to the Buick brand. Pricing and other details will be announced closer to the on-sale date in the fourth quarter of 2017.
