Engine options: 2.4L LAF I4 with eAssist mild hybrid (182 hp, 2012-2014); 2.0L LTG turbo I4 (220 hp standard, 270 hp on GS); 3.6L LFX V6 NA (270 hp, 2014-2017). Six-speed automatic standard. Six-speed manual offered on Regal GS for 2014-2017 model years — rare specification, only available with the 2.0T. AWD available on V6 and GS turbo cars. Magnetic Ride Control standard on GS. Brembo brakes on GS. The Regal GS was the sport halo — distinct front fascia, larger wheels (19-inch standard, 20-inch optional), tuned suspension.

The first-gen Regal was Buick's attempt to reposition the brand for younger buyers — sales were modest but the GS variant has earned cult enthusiast status, particularly the rare manual examples.
