In the domestic auto market, there are not many B-class car products with 200,000 yuan focusing on "performance", and even fewer can be recognized by consumers, and Buick Regal GS has persisted. Recently, this product ushered in the listing of new models, and there have been adjustments in the series of models, but with the advantages in "sports" and cost performance, I believe there will still be many people paying attention.
Of course, in recent years, the 200,000 yuan performance car market has undergone great changes, among which the emergence of Lynk & Co 03+ has reduced the influence of Regal GS a lot. Fortunately, Regal GS products are still quite capable of playing, and the price after the terminal discount is similar to that of the Lynk & Co 03+ model, so which users are worth choosing this car? Next, let's take a look at our comparison and analysis.
The new model only has a "full blood version" GS, but it can still compete with Lynk & Co 03+
As a rare joint venture B-class performance car of the same level, Buick Regal GS was once regarded by many fans as one of the most sporty products of the 200,000 yuan class, so the changes of the new Regal GS have also been concerned by many people. Compared with the old model, the biggest difference between the new Regal GS is to cancel the previous low-end (elite type), for friends with real needs, there is only one model of the "full blood version" Regal GS, more like a model optimization. After the new model cancels the memory of the passenger seat, which is not very useful, it has added two functions of electric trunk and mobile phone wireless charging, which are more practical.
In addition, the new Regal GS still continues the sporty shape in appearance, "silver fog light frame, GS logo, royal blue car color" and so on are iconic. However, compared with the more sporty Lynk & Co 03+, the new Regal GS is still slightly low-key, because the exaggerated body encirclement, large tail and other designs of the Lynk & Co 03+ are defenseless in the eyes of any young person. Of course, Regal GS still has its own characteristics in terms of interior, the sports atmosphere is enough, and the space is more spacious and practical than Lynk & Co 03+.
Power performance is the core of the performance car competition, in this regard, The Regal GS performance is still good, equipped with a 2.0T variable cylinder engine, matching the 9AT gearbox, the maximum horsepower of the engine is 237 horses, the maximum torque is 350 Nm, and the media measured zero hundred acceleration time is about 6.5 seconds, which is much faster than the official announcement of 7.1 seconds, as a medium-sized car, it is already very fast.
Lynk & Co 03+ (non-03 + Cyan version) is also equipped with a 2.0T engine, matching the 8AT gearbox, the maximum horsepower of the engine is 254 horses, the maximum torque is also 350 Nm, the official zero hundred acceleration time is 5.9 seconds, but most of the media measured acceleration time is about 6.3 seconds, in addition, the performance of the Lynk & Co 03 + Cyan version is stronger, but the corresponding terminal price is also much more expensive than the Regal GS.
If you want pure driving pleasure, Lynk & Co 03+ is still more suitable
If you just want to have a car that accelerates faster and usually needs to be used for daily transportation, then the Regal GS with larger size, higher level and more comfort configuration can be said to be a better choice, and it has a performance close to that of Lynk & Co 03+. However, for users who pursue extreme sports, the selection criteria are completely different, and they pay more attention to the driving pleasure of the vehicle.
In this regard, the gap between Lynk & Co 03+ and Regal GS is still quite large. The first is that the Regal GS, as a front-facing front-drive B-class car, with a length of more than 4.9 meters and a wheelbase of more than 2.8 meters, is not very conducive to driving control, at least in terms of corner performance inherently inferior.
In contrast, the shorter body of the Lynk & Co 03+ has certain advantages, and the timely four-wheel drive system front and rear axles can be dynamically distributed between 100:0-50:50, which is better performance under various dynamic performances, which also means higher playability. In addition, the Lynk & Co 03+ is also equipped with a track mode theme, after the switch LCD dashboard displays torque distribution, G value, power output, and shift prompts, etc., with the paddle shifter and the integrated turped turret steering wheel/seat, the sporty atmosphere is easy to capture the driver.
Of course, the sports equipment of Regal GS is also very sufficient, such as it is equipped with Brembo high-performance brake system, variable suspension, and well-wrapped integrated sports seats, etc., but these are more just to bring a sporty atmosphere, and there is a lot of gap with real sports. But if the sport you want is just to the point, then Regal GS is obviously enough.
summary:
From the perspective of athletic performance, whether it is acceleration time, driving atmosphere, sports equipment, and sports experience to the user, it is more pure than regal GS, and the user's choice for users who pursue extreme sports and performance is no problem. However, if it is only to have a faster acceleration, have a sporty atmosphere, and want the vehicle to have some home attributes, then the Regal GS still has some advantages. Moreover, after the terminal discount and the price of Lynk & Co 03+, Regal GS also looks attractive, so users have more use scenarios and certain sports needs, or can be considered.
