As a driver who frequently needs to chauffeur family members, I've driven both the Regal and LaCrosse a few times. The main differences lie in size and comfort. The LaCrosse has a longer and wider body, with particularly spacious rear seating—it feels like sitting in a premium sofa, making long trips very relaxing. The Regal is more compact, offering agile handling but the rear seats can feel a bit cramped, especially for legroom. Additionally, the LaCrosse's suspension is tuned to be softer, reducing bumps over speed bumps and offering better noise control. The Regal, on the other hand, has a firmer setup, making it better suited for city driving with more twists and turns. In terms of power, the Regal accelerates quicker but has slightly higher fuel consumption, making it more suitable for small families who occasionally enjoy a bit of driving fun. The LaCrosse is a solid choice for steady school runs or business trips. If you frequently take long trips or carry multiple passengers, the LaCrosse definitely wins in comfort.
