How much does the Regal weigh?
3 Answers
The Buick Regal has a body weight of 1430~1535 kg. Below is an introduction to the Regal: Design: The all-new Regal adopts Buick's latest sculptural aesthetic design language. The larger-sized winged chrome grille extends horizontally from the centerline, with the shield-shaped upper grille complementing the trapezoidal lower grille, combined with the air curtain design on both sides, giving the front face a wide-body, low-profile sporty presence. The chrome grille features a parametric structural aesthetic design, with chrome cells arranged in a matrix pattern, showcasing exquisite craftsmanship while highlighting the beauty of the three-dimensional structure. Interior: The all-new Buick Regal has a wheelbase of 2829mm, and with the optimized front and rear track design, it achieves dual improvements in longitudinal and lateral space. The new car also uses high-quality materials and exquisite craftsmanship to give the interior an outstanding texture. Large areas of soft materials cover the upper leg positions, combined with hand-stitched French double-stitching, making the cabin atmosphere both refined and comfortable.
I've been driving the Regal for a while and feel this car is quite heavy, generally around 1500 to 1700 kilograms, depending on the year and configuration. For example, my older model has a curb weight just over 1600 kilograms. This weight makes it feel particularly stable on highways, without bouncing or swaying, which enhances safety. However, in the city with frequent traffic lights, it starts slower and has slightly higher fuel consumption. But the heavy weight also has advantages—the body is sturdy and durable, making it stable when carrying friends or cargo daily, with good shock absorption. I suggest considering your driving habits when choosing a car—if you often drive long distances, a heavier car is more reassuring; if you frequently commute in the city, you might prefer something lighter and more fuel-efficient.
I believe the weight of the Regal is crucial for safety, averaging around 1,600 kilograms. This mid-sized car has substantial heft, meaning greater inertia during collisions, which provides better passenger protection, such as reducing the risk of rollovers. My experience is that the heavier the car, the more stable it feels to drive, but the downside is that it can feel slightly cumbersome when parking or turning, especially on slippery roads where handling may suffer. Another point: weight affects fuel efficiency—the Regal's 1,500+ kilogram mass will increase fuel consumption in city driving by about half a liter per 100 kilometers. To optimize, regularly check tire pressure and the suspension system to ensure even weight distribution. In short, understanding weight can help you make a smarter car choice.
