Buick has quickly upped its game by upgrading most of its models to show manufacturers how it’s really done. If you’re confused between whether you need a luxury sedan or a midsized one, then the 2017 Buick Regal should definitely interest you, especially if value is your number one priority while selecting a car.
The 2017 Buick Regal has an impressively long list of features that are all useful and just nice to have in your car. The technology bump that Buick has taken is definitely in favor of the auto manufacturer. There are four models, namely 4WD, Sport Touring, Premium II and GS. The list of features is slightly different for all four models of the 2017 Buick Regal.
