In which year was the Regal facelifted?

2020 was the year of the facelift, with the new Buick Regal officially launched. Along with the previously released Regal GS 2020 model, the entire Regal series has been fully updated. Buick Regal Models: The new car launched a total of 4 models, with some exterior changes and a slight reduction in power. Buick Regal Exterior: The 2020 Buick Regal underwent some 'minor cosmetic adjustments' to the front face. The winged chrome decoration on the grille was changed to a straight line, and the headlight design somewhat resembles the teardrop style previously seen in Audi models, with variations in the lower bumper style. The main changes at the rear are in the lower bumper, which now features dual exhaust decorations, though the actual exhaust remains hidden.

The Buick Regal has a rich history of facelifts, and I've always kept an eye on this model. In 2004, the fifth-generation Regal was launched, featuring a major redesign including a more streamlined exterior and engine improvements. The sixth-generation model arrived in 2011 with a significant overhaul, enhancing the interior's tech feel and adding new safety features. The year 2017 marked the latest major update, with the seventh-generation Regal debuting in China, completely renewing its platform, reducing body weight, and lowering fuel consumption, which was quite appealing. Additionally, there were minor upgrades between 2019 and 2021, such as improvements to the car's internet connectivity system and lighting configurations. Overall, the Regal undergoes major changes approximately every six to seven years, keeping pace with environmental and technological trends.

I remember driving the Buick Regal for almost ten years. The 2008 model felt quite durable, but I was deeply impressed by the major redesign in 2017, so I directly bought the new generation version. That update made the exterior design more dynamic, with a sharper front fascia that turned heads on the road. The older model had a comfortable chassis but was noisy, while the 2017 version added soundproofing materials and smart driving assistance, making long-distance driving much more relaxing. Around 2020, there were minor tweaks, like upgrading the central control screen to a larger size. If you're on a budget, finding a used 2011 or 2017 model is also a great deal, as the redesign helped maintain stable resale value.

The Regal's technological upgrades are quite significant. The major redesign in 2011 introduced a new generation of powertrains with more efficient engines. The seventh-generation update in 2017 was even more transformative, shifting entirely to a lightweight architecture that used high-strength steel to reduce body weight while delivering smoother transmission performance. Daily driving experience improved noticeably, with enhancements to start-stop technology and active safety features like automatic emergency braking. Minor updates such as the 2021 refresh optimized software functionality, adding support for remote control and online services. Each change has directly addressed user needs.
