The Buick Regal is an upscale mid-sized car that was offset introduced past Buick for the 1973 model year. The model was originally positioned as a personal luxury car, and typically offered in both coupe and sedan forms until 1997, when the Regal became sedan-simply due to the reject of the personal luxury coupe marketplace. For certain model years between 1973 and 2004, the Royal shared bodies and powertrains with the similar Buick Century, although the Regal was positioned as a more upmarket vehicle.

The Regal was discontinued in the Due north American market in 2004, beingness succeeded past the Buick LaCrosse. In 2008, a new version of the Regal was introduced for the Chinese marketplace, which is a badge engineered version of the Opel Insignia. The new Regal was introduced to the North American market in 2022, positioned as a mid-size vehicle.

Buick had been the first GM division to bring a personal luxury motorcar to marketplace with its 1963 Riviera, just was otherwise tedious to react to the developing lower-priced mid-size personal luxury marketplace, which Pontiac created with the 1969 K Prix and Chevrolet with the Monte Carlo the following year, 1970. At the aforementioned time, Oldsmobile added a formal notchback coupé to its intermediate line, the Cutlass Supreme, in 1970 and that model before long became Olds' acknowledged intermediate. Buick did not get its own personal luxury coupe until the GM intermediates were redesigned in 1973, the so-called "Colonnade" cars that eliminated hardtop models completely. In a curious name bandy, the Skylark proper name was dropped from Buick'southward intermediate line and instead the Century nameplate, last used in the 1950s, was revived for them.

A highly trimmed, two-door coupe, the first Regal, officially marketed equally the "Century Majestic Pillar Hardtop coupe", shared its front end and rear styling with its Century parent with distinctions amounting to differing grilles and taillight lenses. The Majestic shared the same "Colonnade" pillared hardtop roofline (a hardtop with B-pillars (middle pillars) just frameless doors dissimilar a sedan body) and greenhouse (window area) with the G Prix, Monte Carlo, and Cutlass Supreme likewise as the lower-priced Buick Century Luxus coupe. Like its corporate cousins, the Purple (and Luxus) featured the newly fashionable opera windows, which were pocket-size stock-still rear-side windows surrounded by sheetmetal, instead of the traditional ringlet-downward windows.

For the outset model yr in 1973, the Regal nameplate was simply used for Buick'south version of the GM intermediate personal luxury coupe, simply the post-obit year gained a sedan companion (at that place was no Regal station wagon).

Purple interiors were generally more luxurious than lesser Century models with woodgrain trim on dashboard and door panels, along with door-pull straps and bench seats with center armrests with textile, velour, or vinyl upholstery. Optionally available throughout the run was a threescore/forty split-bench seat with armrest. For 1976 and 1977, the Regal coupe was available with the S/R option that included reclining saucepan seats with corduroy upholstery.

The model lasted 5 years with minimal changes, although in that location was a fairly substantial facelift in coupes for 1976 (sedans retained their original 1973 sheetmetal through 1977), which incorporated the recently legalized rectangular headlights (horizontally mounted on coupes, and vertically on sedans—much similar the mid-1960s Pontiacs). The Regal coupe sold reasonably well, although it lagged behind the Monte Carlo and Cutlass Supreme which had become the best-selling cars in America by 1976.

The Regal was almost commonly powered by Buick'southward 350 cu in (5.vii L) V8, which was standard equipment on all models for 1973 and 1974, and optional on coupes only standard on sedans from 1975 to 1977, and the larger 455 cu in (seven.v L) V8 was optional for 1973 and 1974 models but. Starting in 1975, Regal coupes came standard with Buick's resurrected 231 cu in (3.eight Fifty) V6 engine previously offered on the 1964–1967 Skylark; the engine's tooling had been sold to Kaiser Motors for utilize in Jeep models (Kaiser was purchased by American Motors in 1970 and Jeep became an AMC division) and sold dorsum to GM by AMC in 1974. For 1975 and 1976, the Century and Regal were the only mid-sized cars in America to offer V6 engines. The bolt design for this vehicle is 5×four+ 3⁄4 inches (120.7 mm).

The Century nameplate was quietly removed from the Purple for 1975.

A downsized Regal appeared for the 1978 model year with Buick's new 196 cu in (3.2 50) V6 engine as standard equipment and a revised version of the venerable 231 cu in (3.8 L) V6 as an option (which became standard for 1980). Initially, a three-speed manual transmission was standard but this was later replaced by an automatic. At the time of introduction, Regals were available exclusively as coupés with the Century nameplate applied to standard equipment sedans and station wagons.^[6] In January 1982 the Century was replaced by an all-new auto on the front-bicycle drive A platform, which meant that the Regal gained a four-door sedan and 5-door station wagon - essentially facelifted and rebadged versions of the previous year's rear-wheel drive Century. It was the starting time time the proper name appeared on a full model lineup. The railroad vehicle was discontinued afterwards 1983, and the sedan dropped from the lineup the adjacent year.^[7] This generation Regal lasted 10 years. The base model was equipped with softer-riding luxury suspension, and did not offer a manual transmission in afterwards years.

1982 Buick Majestic Estate Wagon

The 1978 Purple could be equipped with a 3,791 cc (3.8 L; 231.3 cu in) Turbocharged V6 engine with automated manual, and was known as a Regal Sport Coupe. Turbo versions were offered with either a two- or a iv-barrel carburetor. The Buick LeSabre was also bachelor with the turbocharged engine. The only other turbocharged cars available in the U.S. market in 1978 were imports from Mercedes-Benz, Porsche and Saab. The Royal Sport Coupe too included a business firm handling interruption with larger tires and sport wheels. Bucket seats and a center panel with a T-shifter were also available.

A major facelift for 1981 gave the Regal a much more aerodynamic profile, helping make it possible for the car to compete on the NASCAR racing circuit. The sloping hood and nose of the auto made it the favorite of several NASCAR teams. Richard Petty drove i to victory in the 1981 Daytona 500, and the automobile won a bulk of the 1981 and 1982 seasons races and won the NASCAR manufacturers championship in 1981 and 1982.

V8s for street use were however available, just had shrunk to 265 cu in (4.three L) (1980 and 1981 only, Pontiac built), and the V6 was apace gaining popularity. From 1986 to 1987, the 307 cu in (5.0 L) V8 was available as an choice. The three,791 cc (3.8 Fifty; 231.3 cu in) 2-bbl V6 was standard. The 200-4R overdrive transmission was an option with either engine.

For 1980, the Purple was offered in a special Somerset Limited Edition trim which featured unique tan and night blue designer exterior pigment, wire cycle covers, sport mirrors, and chrome Somerset badging. The interior had tan and bluish costly velour upholstery, brushed chrome trim, and boosted Somerset badging. A Somerset Express Edition model was also offered on the restyled 1981 Royal. It had unique night sandstone and camel exterior paint, sport mirrors, and turbine wheels. The interior costly velour upholstery was camel with night brown piping.

Grand National, Turbo-T and T-Type [edit]

In February 1982, the One thousand National debuted, which was named for the NASCAR Winston Cup Grand National Series (the "Grand National" term was part of the Cup series nomenclature until 1986).^[8] Buick had won the Manufacturers Cup in 1981 and 1982, and wanted to capitalize on its success: "What wins on Sunday, sells on Monday", and hoping to revive their performance paradigm from the 1960s with the Buick Skylark Gran Sport. These 1982 cars were not painted black, which may misfile those not familiar with them. All started out as charcoal gray Regals that were shipped off to a subcontractor for finishing.

Originally intended for a run of 100 units, Cars and Concepts of Brighton, Michigan, retrofitted 215 Regals with the GN package. Nearly obvious was the light silver-gray firemist paint added to each side. Red pinstripes and billboard shadow lettering proclaiming "Buick" were applied. The wheel opening moldings and rocker panel moldings were blacked out using black vinyl tape. Finally, a forepart air dam and rear spoiler were installed. On the inside, special "Lear-Siegler" seats were installed. These seats are fully adjustable and were covered with silver brandon cloth with black vinyl inserts. The front seat had Buick's "6" keepsake embroidered onto them. Also, a special clock delete plate was added to the instrument panel which contained the yellow and orange "6" logo and the words "Grand National Buick Motor Segmentation".)

The 1982 GN came with a naturally aspirated 252 cu in (iv.1 Fifty) V6 engine with 125 hp (127 PS; 93 kW) at 4000 rpm and 205 lb⋅ft (278 N⋅m) of torque at 2000 rpm. Of the 215 Grand Nationals produced in 1982, at least 35 were based on the Buick Majestic Sport coupe packet with the turbocharged 3,791 cc (3.eight Fifty; 231.3 cu in) V6 engine with 175 hp (177 PS; 130 kW) at 4000 rpm and 275 lb⋅ft (373 N⋅m) of torque at 2600 rpm. There were simply 2022 Sport coupes produced in 1982, and the number of cars with both the GN and Sport coupe packages is estimated to be fewer than 50.

For 1983, there was no Grand National. The Sport coupe model was renamed the T-Type; 3,732 were produced (190 hp (193 PS; 142 kW) at 1600 rpm and 280 lb⋅ft (380 Northward⋅m) of torque at 2400 rpm). The T-Type had been used on other Buicks, starting with the Riviera in 1981 (in 1979 and 1980, information technology was the Due south Blazon). The 1983 Regal T-Type featured tube headers, Hydro-Heave II brakes, 200-4R 4-speed overdrive trans and three.42 rear axle (vii.5").^[nine]

For 1984, the Grand National returned, at present in all black pigment. The turbocharged 3,791 cc (three.eight L; 231.3 cu in) became standard and was refined with sequential fuel injection, distributor-less computer-controlled ignition, and boasted 200 hp (203 PS; 149 kW) at 4400 rpm and 300 lb⋅ft (407 North⋅m) of torque at 2400 rpm. Merely 5,204 turbo Regals were produced that year, only ii,000 of which were Thou Nationals. Because this was the outset year of product of the computer-controlled sequential fuel injection and distributor-less ignition, this is often considered the year and model that started the development of the legendary intercooled Chiliad Nationals. The operation of this parcel was well ahead of its time and the "picayune V6" easily kept upwardly with the bigger V8s. 1⁄4 mile (402 m) performance was listed at 15.9 seconds at stock heave levels of x psi (0.69 bar), while for the same twelvemonth, the Chevrolet Camaro V6 was listed at 17.0 and the Chevrolet Corvette at xv.2 seconds.^[ten] Soon, functioning enthusiasts determined the modifications that worked and the Grand Nationals easily broke into the 13-2d territory. All Yard Nationals had the Lear Siegler-made cloth/leather interior which was only available for this year. An estimated 200 of the 1984 One thousand Nationals were produced with the Astroroof option which makes these the rarest of the Thou Nationals.

For 1986, a modified engine design with air-air intercooling additional the performance fifty-fifty further to a specified 235 hp (238 PS; 175 kW) at 4000 rpm and 330 lb⋅ft (447 N⋅thou) of torque at 2400 rpm. The Grand Nationals (quantity 5,512) and T-Types (quantity 2,384) were both produced in 1986. For 1987, functioning reached 245 hp (248 PS; 183 kW) and 355 lb⋅ft (481 Northward⋅chiliad) of torque. Buick dropped the T-Type bundle for Regal for 1987 models and opted for a "T" sport package instead. There were only 7,896 turbo Regals produced in 1986. In 1987, when turbo Regals reached their height in popularity, a total of 27,590 turbo Regals were produced through Dec, with those models produced between September and December of that year window stickered as "1987½ Buick 1000 National" vehicles.

1987 Imperial T Turbo with rare blackout WO2 trim package

For 1987, a lightweight WE4 (turbo T) option was offered. Only 1,547 of this variant were produced. The differences betwixt a WE4 and the Grand National were the interior trim package, wheels, exterior badging, aluminum bumper supports, and aluminum rear pulsate brakes as opposed to the Grand National's cast iron, making the WE4 a lighter and faster car. The rear spoiler was but available equally a dealer-installed selection. 1987 was the only year that the LC2 turbo choice was available on any Majestic, making it possible to even see a Limited with a vinyl landau roof and a power bulge turbo hood. Turbo Regal Limiteds were ane of the rarest models of turbo Regals produced second merely to the GNX at 1,035 turbo Limiteds. Turbo Regal Limiteds could be ordered with many options with well-nigh having chrome external trim but for $35 could have been built with the full black-out trim WO2 option making them extremely rare (similarly, a base of operations Majestic could besides exist ordered with the Turbo half dozen, and, the WO2 coma trim was likewise available; all rare). Limiteds were treated to a very luxurious interior with plush carpeting and optional bench pillow seats and a column shift. It was also possible to gild the 1987 Royal T with the 5.0/307 V8 instead of the turbo 3.eight/231 V6. The 1987 model would be the end of the industry of the RWD "G-Body" Royal, just GM had to extend the build of the Grand National to meet customer demand into Dec.

GNX [edit]

For the final year, 1987, Buick introduced the limited production GNX, for "Grand National Experimental", at $29,900 ($68,111 in 2022 dollars ^[eleven]). Fabricated in partnership with McLaren Performance Technologies/ASC, Buick produced only 547 GNs with the interior trim package, that were and then sent off to McLaren and upgraded into the Buick GNX. Buick underrated the GNX at 276 hp (280 PS; 206 kW) at 4400 rpm and a very substantial 360 lb⋅ft (488 N⋅m) at 3000 rpm of torque,^[12] although bodily output is 300 bhp (304 PS; 224 kW) and 420 lb⋅ft (569 Northward⋅m).^[13] This was created to be the "Thou National to stop all Thou Nationals." Changes fabricated included a special Garrett AiResearch T-3 turbocharger with a ceramic-impeller blowing through a more efficient and significantly larger capacity intercooler with a "Cermatel (ceramic-aluminum) coated" pipage connecting the intercooler to the engine. A GNX specific EEPROM, depression-restriction exhaust with dual mufflers, reprogrammed turbo Hydramatic 200-4R manual with a custom torque converter and transmission cooler, and unique differential cover/Panhard bar included more of the performance modifications. Exterior styling changes include vents located on each front fender, xvi inch blackness mesh style wheels with VR-speed rated tires, and deletion of the hood and fender emblems. The interior changes of the GNX included a series number on the dash plaque and a revised instrument cluster providing Stewart-Warner analog gauges,^[14] including an analog turbo boost estimate. Functioning was measured faster than the Ferrari F40 and the Porsche 930 with a one⁄4 mile (402 m) time of 12.7 seconds at 113.1 mph (182 km/h) (0.three and 0.8 seconds quicker, two.ix and thirteen.3 mph (21 km/h) faster) and a 0-60 mph (97 km/h) time of four.6 seconds (0.four and 0.3 seconds quicker, respectively).^[15] GNX #001 is the 1986 prototype currently endemic by Buick and sometimes makes appearances at auto shows effectually the US. The GNX used a unique torque arm that was mounted to a special, GNX only, rear differential encompass, for increased traction. The torque arm rear suspension alters the break geometry, making the body lift while planting the rear tires downwards, resulting in increased traction.

The stealthy advent of the all-black GNX and Thou National (and the resemblance of its grill to his helmet's mouthpiece), coupled with the fact that the 1000 National was initially released during the popularity of Star Wars movies, earned it the title "Darth Vader's Car". Machine and Driver covered the GNX model'due south introduction with the headline "Lord Vader, your car is ready." Due to the turbocharged 6-cylinder engine, the Buick make, and the black pigment M Nationals were sometimes referred to as the "Dark Side". The "Dark Side" contrasted with the more common V8 Mustangs and Camaros that were popular at the time.^{[ citation needed ]}

1988 Buick Regal Limited coupe

1993–1994 Buick Regal sedan

1991 Buick Majestic Limited coupe

1995–1996 Buick Regal coupe

A new Regal appeared in October 1987 on the GM W platform as the first vehicle on that platform;^[17] this generation ran with few changes for ix years. Though the new Regal returned to Buick'south original concept in beingness offered only as a coupe and in beingness aimed once again squarely at the personal luxury buyer, information technology departed from tradition in existence the first forepart-wheel-drive model, and in having no serious performance pick or edition. Neither a V8 engine nor a turbocharged V6 was offered; the only engine available for 1988 was the Chevrolet 2.viii 50 V6, producing 125 hp (93 kW).

From 1990, attributable to the failing personal luxury car market, the Regal was again offered as a four-door sedan (as were the Cutlass Supreme and Grand Prix the same year, the latter offered equally a sedan for the first time).

The Regal was initially offered in base Custom and upscale Limited trim lines. For 1989, the Gran Sport trim line was added, featuring aluminum wheels, body side cladding and a console-mounted shifter attached to the iv-speed automated. For 1990, the Regal gained the option of the Buick three.viii L V6. The 3800 V6 was unique to the Imperial, differentiating it from the mechanically similar Chevrolet Lumina, Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme and Pontiac Grand Prix. Anti-lock brakes were made standard on all merely the base Custom cars from 1992, and the grille was redesigned again for 1993. Forth with the new look came an electronically controlled automatic transmission and LeSabre-like rear lights and bumper. For 1993, a driver's side airbag was added, along with standard ABS on all models, standard power windows, and xx hp (15 kW) more in the base engine due to a revised intake manifold and cylinder head. The Limited coupe was deleted; only the Custom and Gran Sport (GS) coupes remained. Dual airbags were new for 1995 along with a new interior.

For 1996, the larger 3.8 L; 231.3 cu in (3,791 cc) V6 engine became the 3800 Series II and gained 35 hp (26 kW).This generation saw the installation of Dynaride, which was an air compressor that would pressurize the rear Chapman Struts to maintain a level overall ride summit. A bluecoat was installed on the dashboard to the left of the steering column on all vehicles equipped. It was not available on vehicles equipped with Gran Touring Suspension.

1997–2004 Buick Regal sedan

For the 1997 model year, the Century and Majestic in one case again rode upon the aforementioned platform; the revised W platform that was shared with the Oldsmobile Intrigue, the Pontiac Grand Prix, the Chevrolet Lumina and Chevrolet Monte Carlo.^[18] The Regal coupe was discontinued.

Differences betwixt the Regal and Century were mostly cosmetic. Every bit the upmarket version, the Regal offered larger engines and fancier trim, and again boasted a newer version of the 3.8 L V6. While the Century was mainly a reliable, economic system-minded car based upon the W-body, the Regal was fitted with many amenities, including heated leather seats (optional on the Century), a Monsoon 8-speaker surround sound organization, dual climate command, and expansive interior space. Few changes occurred during this version's seven-twelvemonth run. It offered 5-rider seating on all trim levels like the Pontiac Grand Prix and Oldsmobile Intrigue (formerly Cutlass Supreme), different their predecessors that had optional six-rider seating and the Buick Century (formerly built on the A platform) which had standard half-dozen-passenger seating.

This period held the fastest Buick since the days of the 1987 GNX: the Buick Regal GS. This car was now supercharged instead of turbocharged, and produced 240 hp (179 kW) and 280 lb⋅ft (380 N⋅m) of torque. When introduced in January 1997,^[19] Buick advertised the Regal GS as "The official machine of the supercharged family".^[20] Buick also released two other model types, the LSE and the GSE. The LSE stayed with the 200 hp (149 kW) engine with upgrades and the GSE stayed with the 240 hp (179 kW) supercharged engine with upgrades. Also, in 2000 Buick came out with a concept GSX that had an intercooled iii.8 Fifty, merely was supercharged rather than turbocharged. It had 295.24 hp (220.sixteen kW)

The Northward American Regal was replaced in 2005 by the Buick LaCrosse, also built on the Due west platform. The final 2004 Buick Imperial rolled off the assembly line on June 1, 2004.^[21]

Engines [edit]

• 1997–2004 iii.8 50 L36 Serial II V6
• 1997–2004 3.8 L L67 Series Ii supercharged V6

Royal LS and GS operation [edit]

The Regal LS from the factory had a 1/4 mile (≈400 1000) elapsed time (ET) of 15.8 seconds and could do 0-sixty mph in under viii seconds. The supercharged Regal GS had a 1/4 mile ET of xiv.ix seconds, and acceleration to lx mph (97 km/h) took 6.7 seconds.^[22] The Royal GS, equipped with the supercharged 3.8 liter V6 engine (L67) produced 240 hp (179 kW) & 280 lb⋅ft (380 Due north⋅chiliad) of torque. The Majestic GS'due south PCM has programming that activates torque direction to reduce wheel spin at launch. The Regal LS was EPA rated at 19/thirty MPG metropolis/thruway while the supercharged Regal GS was EPA rated at eighteen/27 MPG urban center/freeway.

Regal LSX and GSX (SLP Functioning) [edit]

In the 2003 and 2004 model years, Buick, in collaboration with SLP Performance, came out with the Buick Regal GSX. They offered dealer-installed options and dealer-supplied accessories for both LS and GS models. Like the GS Buicks that came before it, the SLP GSX came in three power train packages, referred to as stages. The Stage one package added ten horsepower with the addition of a dual stainless steel true cat-back exhaust system and free-flowing cold air induction organization. If you opted for the Stage ii package, a Hypertech Power Programmer with an SLP custom calibration tune was included with the Stage 1 components — skilful for an extra 20 horsepower. The range-topping Stage 3 package added a 3.5-inch smaller bore supercharger pulley to crank up the boost. With an advertised 30 more horsepower than stock, the Phase 3 GSX was conservatively rated at 270 hp (201 kW) and 312 lb⋅ft (423 N⋅m) of torque. Since the parts were available from SLP over the counter for many years, at that place have been quite a few Regal GS sedans that have been cloned into a GSX for both appearance and operation purposes. Though the model didn't officially debut until 2003, a licensed SLP dealer could perform the transformation on any Purple GS from 1997 to 2004. A true GSX can be verified from an SLP door jamb label with the correct function number for the kit.^{[23] [24]}

Joseph Abboud Edition [edit]

From 2001 to 2004 Buick offered a Joseph Abboud appearance bundle on both the GS and LS models. This package included either a solid taupe or two-tone taupe/chestnut leather seats, ii-tone leather-wrapped steering wheel, leather shifter handle and boot, sixteen" aluminum wheels; and Joseph Abboud signature emblems on the front doors, flooring mats, front end-seat headrests, and taillights.

China [edit]

General Motors and Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation (SAIC) established a joint venture in 1997 called Shanghai GM, and had begun assembling the Buick Regal in Shanghai, China in April 1999.^{[25] [26] [27] [28]}

The Royal has sold well in the Chinese market as a large, relatively luxurious model, despite its loftier price, costing more than the North American version. The Chinese market Majestic has dissimilar front- and rear-end styling compared to the North American version and different engines, including the 2.0 L L34, the two.5 L LB8 V6 and the 3.0 L LW9 V6. Gearbox choices were a 4-speed automatic for V6 models, while 4-cylinder variants are paired with a v-speed manual gearbox. V6 models had a prepare of black dashboard gauges, while the 4-cylinder models had white dashboard gauges. These models also had slightly different names: the entry-level model was the New Century, with more upscale models carrying the GL and GLX names. Later, 1000 and GS models were added. Production for this generation ended in November 2008 in China beingness replaced past the Opel Insignia-based Imperial.

The Chinese-built Regal was also sold in the Philippines from 2005 to 2006 as the Chevrolet Lumina, where information technology replaced the Opel Vectra. The 2.5 V6 was the simply engine choice.^[29] The Chevrolet Lumina was discontinued from the Filipino market in 2006, leaving GM once again without a mid-size sedan until the introduction of the 8th generation Chevrolet Malibu in 2022.

GM originally planned to sell a modified version of the Opel Insignia in North America as the second generation Saturn Aura, but changed strategy after deciding to discontinue the Saturn brand.^[36] The Royal utilizes unibody structure with galvanized steel forepart fenders, hood, roof and door panels and thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) bumper covers.^[34] The North American Regal weighs about 13 lb (half dozen kg) more than an equivalent Opel Insignia due to increased structural support in the B-colonnade necessary to meet U.S. rollover standards.^[37]

Buick's product manager manager Roger McCormack stated in a 2022 consumer webchat that a coupé version was under heavy consideration, as well equally the possibility for further body styles such as a convertible.^[38] An Buick-badged Insignia Sports Tourer was besides spied, but the following year a Buick spokesperson declared that there were no plans to sell a Regal wagon.^{[39] [40]}

Discontinuation [edit]

In December 2022, Full general Motors announced that it would terminate production of the Buick Majestic for North America post-obit the 2022 model year, citing the popularity of the brand'due south sport utility vehicles (SUVs), which have contributed to declining sales of Buick's passenger cars, also ending 113 years of Buick car production. Yet, despite the discontinuation of the Regal in Northward America, Buick will go along to produce the Regal for the Chinese marketplace, where the vehicle recently received a mid-cycle facelift.^[60]
