Buick Regal facelift 2014

H Buick στη Νέα Υόρκη παρουσιάζει το ανανεωμένο Regal. Από αυτό παίρνουμε μια γεύση με το πως θα μοιάζει και το ανανεωμένο Opel Insignia και διαθέτει νέους προφυλακτήρες, LED φωτιστικά σώματα, αεριζόμενο καπό, χρωμιομένα διακοσμητικά και νέα

πίσω φωτιστικά σώματα.

Στο εσωτερικό υπάρχουν νέο τιμόνι, νέος πίνακας οργάνων και νέα κεντρική κονσόλα όπου έχει τοποθετηθεί το ολοκαίνουργιο σύστημα ενημέρωσης και ψυχαγωγίας.

Τεχνολογικά, όπως το ανανεωμένο LaCrosse διαθέτει αρκετά συστήματα ασφαλείας όπως τα συστήματα ειδοποίησης αλλαγής λωρίδας κυκλοφορίας, σύστημα ειδοποίησης τυφλού σημείου, σύστημα αυτόματου φρεναρίσματος, σύστημα προειδοποίησης διασταύρωσης, ενεργό cruise control αλλά και το Safety Alert Seat το οποίο ενημερώνει τον οδηγό μέσω δόνησης ότι επίκειται σύγκρουση ή αύχημα είτε κατά την οδήγηση στον δρόμο, είτε κατά το παρκάρισμα. Το κάθισμα θα δονείται είτε από την αριστερή είτε από την δεξιά μεριά, ανάλογα από το ποια μεριά ανιχνεύεται η πρόσκρουση ενώ θα ενεργοποιείται ακόμη και όταν ο οδηγός αλλάζει λωρίδα κυκλοφορίας χωρίς να ανάψει φλας.

Μηχανικά είναι διαθέσιμο με 2 κινητήρες. Ο πρώτος είναι ένας τετρακύλινδρος 2,4-λίτρων απόδοσης 182 ίππων με 233 Nm ροπής ο οποίος συνεργάζεται με ένα μικρό ηλεκτροκινητήρα απόδοσης 11 kW (15 ίππων) με 107 Nm ροπής.

Ο δεύτερος είναι ένας 2,0-λιτρος turbo κινητήρας απόδοσης 260 ίππων με 400 Nm ροπής. Μπορεί να συνδυαστεί και με σύστημα τετρακίνησης haldex το οποίο διαθέτει ηλεκτρονικό μπλοκέ διαφορεικό. Οι πωλήσεις του αναμένονται να ξεκινήσουν από το φθινόπωρο.

2014 Buick Regal Infused with New Technology

Exterior design with signature wing-shape LED lighting; revised interior designed around next-gen IntelliLink infotainment and new advanced safety featuresMore efficient and more refined 2.0L turbo engine delivers 18 percent more power in Regal TurboNew all-wheel-drive system incorporates electronic limited-slip differential to help optimize traction in all driving conditions

NEW YORK – Buick revealed the new 2014 Regal today, designed to be a sportier and smarter evolution of the brand’s dynamic midsize sedan. New purposeful technologies enhance safety and the driving experience with a more refined turbo engine – along with the introduction of all-wheel drive.

The new Regal also introduces new radar- and camera-based safety features – including Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Lane Change Alert, Side Blind Zone Alert, Lane Departure Warning, Forward Collision Alert and Collision Mitigation Braking – for surround protection. In-vehicle connectivity is enhanced with next-generation IntelliLink, featuring simpler, more intuitive controls and natural speech recognition.

Adaptive Cruise Control is also offered. It senses traffic in front of the Regal to adjust vehicle speed, including stopping the vehicle in heavy traffic and accelerating again.

“The new 2014 Regal is more expressive, more connected and more technologically advanced,” said Tony DiSalle, U.S. vice president of Buick Marketing. “ Nearly half of new Regal buyers are conquests who are new to Buick and they represent the youngest median age among the brand’s lineup.

“The new Regal gives those discerning buyers more of the technologically advanced features they want in a modern luxury sedan, all with the style and refinement they expect from Buick.”

New front and rear styling, with bold, signature wing-shape LED daytime running lamps and LED taillamps were designed to give Regal a more contemporary and premium presence. The interior features a redesigned central instrument panel and console along with a new fashion interior trim combination.

The new 2.0L turbo engine delivers 18 percent more horsepower in the Regal Turbo, for a greater feeling of on-demand power The available Haldex all-wheel-drive system helps make the most of traction in all driving conditions and also enhances the cornering capability of the Regal GS when driven in the GS mode of the Interactive Drive Control System.

A 2.4L engine with eAssist light electrification technology is also available on the 2014 Regal. Six-speed automatic transmissions are matched with both engines and a six-speed manual is available in the Regal GS. Electric power steering is now featured on all models.

The new Regal makes its public debut at the New York International Auto Show, where it will be on display March 29-April 7. It goes on sale this fall.
