Recently, we obtained actual car photos of the 2024 Buick Regal 25T Super Edition at the dealership. As the entry-level version of the model, its guide price is 159,800 yuan. Judging from the price alone, the Regal 25T Super Enjoy Edition has stepped into the price range of the joint venture brand compact car. If you are on the same budget, will you choose the low-profile version of the Regal with the entry-level but higher-level configuration, or the Volkswagen Sutar high-spec version with a smaller size but higher configuration?
The 2024 Regal is the second facelift of the model, and the front face design is consistent with the latest family style of the Buick brand, showing a new trapezoidal large-mouth front grille. Even in the lowest-spec variant, the main details of the exterior are still similar to those of the higher-spec variant, with the only difference being the reduced rim size to 17 inches and the tyres of 225/55 R17. In terms of interior, the Regal 25T Super Edition still retains the main design of the old model and has not been upgraded to the latest large-size one-piece curved screen.
The two main differences between the Regal 25T Super Edition and the 28T Indulgence Edition are the powertrain, as well as some added configurations for the 2.0T model. This includes an 8-inch LCD instrument cluster, a power trunk lid, leather/suede double-wrapped seats, navigation, a navigation traffic information display, and voice recognition. In the case of a guide price spread of 16,000 yuan, car buyers need to weigh the difference between the two according to their personal needs and budget.
In terms of power, the actual model is equipped with a 1.5T engine with a maximum power of 124 kilowatts (169 horsepower), a peak torque of 250 Nm, a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 9.1 seconds, and a top speed of 205 km/h. In contrast, the 2.0T engine mounted on the Regal 28T model is more powerful, with a maximum power of 174 kW (237 hp), a peak torque of 350 Nm, a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 7.1 seconds, and a top speed of 240 km/h.
According to the sales data, the performance of Regal has been relatively stable in the past six months, with an average monthly retail volume of more than 5,000 units, ranking 15th in the domestic mid-size car sales list. Although it is slightly inferior to its competitors in the same class, it is still in the second echelon of joint venture brands, and it is on par with the Ford Mondeo. However, as the market becomes more competitive, car buyers need to weigh the pros and cons among the various options.
In the price range of about 150,000 yuan, the Regal 25T Super Enjoy Edition is relatively close to Volkswagen Sutar 280TSI/300TSI Beyond Edition (158,900 yuan) and other models. At this time, do you prefer the larger size of the Regal, or pay more attention to the configuration of the Sutar?
