What is the drag coefficient of the Regal?
2 Answers
The drag coefficient of the all-new Buick Regal is 0.29. Regal: The vehicle's architecture has also achieved a breakthrough, with a 92mm increase in wheelbase, significantly shorter front and rear overhangs, and a 23mm reduction in height. With excellent aerodynamics, the all-new Buick Regal boasts a drag coefficient of just 0.29, ranking among the top in its class. Additionally, it features a new chassis architecture, with a full-frame subframe connected at 8 points in the front and 4 points in the rear, providing a solid foundation for the chassis and significantly improving overall rigidity. Furthermore, thanks to a 29mm reduction in the H-point height, the driver's experience is smoother, more comfortable, and more enjoyable. Expansion: In terms of powertrain, it is equipped with a 1.5T SIDI direct-injection turbocharged engine and a 2.0T variable-cylinder turbocharged engine, both paired with a standard 9-speed HYDRA-MATIC intelligent transmission. The 1.5T version delivers a maximum power of 124kW and a maximum torque of 250Nm, with a fuel consumption of around 6.3L per 100km. The 2.0T version offers a maximum power of 174kW and a maximum torque of 350Nm, with a fuel consumption of approximately 6.6L per 100km.
I've been studying car performance for decades. The Buick Regal typically has a drag coefficient around 0.29, which is crucial as it directly affects daily driving experience. Low drag allows air to flow smoothly over the body, enhancing stability and reducing sway at high speeds while improving fuel efficiency - you can go extra kilometers on long trips. During design, wind tunnel tests adjust roof curvature and mirror shapes to optimize resistance. Compared to SUVs or older models, Regal's streamlined body reduces wind noise, delivering quiet comfort. New owners can test this by closing windows at highway speeds to feel the smooth airflow - thoughtful engineering that elevates driving pleasure.
