2019 Buick Regal TourX

Pros: Cargo versatility of wagon body style; satisfying acceleration; AWD handling that is a bit more nimble than the average crossover SUV

Cons: Transmission occasionally feels clunky; some so-so interior materials

CG Says: After last year’s redesign, the 2019 Buick Regal TourX is unchanged. Buick repositioned its midsize-car lineup for 2018. The Regal’s traditional four-door-sedan body style was dropped; in its place are a 4-door hatchback sedan called Regal Sportback (reviewed separately) and an SUV-flavored 4-door wagon named Regal TourX—both are slightly larger than the outgoing sedan. The TourX comes standard with all-wheel-drive and a turbocharged 2.0-liter 4-cylinder; the engine makes 250 horsepower and is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. Trim levels ascend through Base, Preferred, and Essence models. Standard features on all include 18-inch wheels, keyless entry and starting, and a touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto connectivity. Available features include a navigation system, hands-free liftgate, dual-zone climate control, heated front seats and steering wheel, wireless cellphone charging, and a panoramic sunroof. Available safety features include rear parking sensors, adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking and pedestrian detection, lane-departure warning and intervention, and blind-spot and rear cross-traffic alert. The traditional station wagon lives on in the Buick Regal TourX—sort of. The TourX is similar in concept to SUV-styled passenger-car wagons such as the Subaru Outback, Audi A4 allroad, and Volvo V60 Cross Country. Though some of its add-on trim pieces seem a bit contrived, the Regal TourX nevertheless offers better cargo versatility than the typical midsize car, and a more-engaging driving personality than the typical midsize SUV.
