Buick Regal 1.6T to launch in Sept

Buick China | | August 28, 2009 at 11:47 am

This year GM has successfully launched the Chevrolet Cruze, the Buick Lacrosse and the new Buick Regal. The Regal was a massive breakaway from the last generation of Regal which was an American designed land yacht, but the current Regal is based on the German designed Opel Insignia.

Buick currently have the naturally aspirated 2.0, 2.4 as well as 2.0 Turbo models of the Buick Regal, but a Regal 1.6T would push the Regal into a lower tax bracket but it give the power of a 2.0 model. Pricing of the future 1.6T is being estimated as being from 170,000rmb to 300,000rmb, but CCT guesses that it will be closer to 180,000rmb and will make a dent in the current compact car sales towards the end of the year and early next year.

The Regal 1.6T is something we’re certainly looking forward to seeing next month!

    Who the hell is estimating 300,000? They should look for another job pretty damn smart. Who would buy this car at that price? Your guess of around 180,000 sounds much saner.
