As a battleground for military strategists, the family car market gathers the leading products of Chinese brands, joint venture brands, and luxury brands. It is also one of the most involved market segments in the automobile market. The dazzling array of products dazzles consumers, and also makes many consumers who have difficulty choosing and unable to start.

Especially consumers with a car purchase budget of around 150,000 yuan, most of them focus on A-class cars such as FAW-Volkswagen Sagitar and Geely Xingrui. The family car market in this price range is not limited to A-class cars. You might as well change your mind and focus on B-class cars , which have more space and higher quality.

Auto-First visited the market and found that the SAIC-GM Buick Regal can be purchased for about 150,000 yuan after terminal discounts. Not only is it more spacious than an A-class car, but the driving texture and quality are also much higher than that of an A-class car. Why not enjoy a higher car experience at the same price.

Better power and control

As a breath of fresh air in the B-class family car market, the "three major components" of SAIC-GM Buick Regal are not only very stable and reliable, but are also significantly better than competing models at the same price and A-class family cars at the same price.

The Buick Regal is equipped with a 1.5T SIDI direct-injection turbocharged engine, which can output a maximum power of 124kW, and the maximum torque reaches 250N·m, fully unleashing the potential of the small-displacement turbocharged engine. In total, the 1.4T engine equipped with the Sagitar has a maximum power of 110kW and a maximum torque of 250N·m.

Although the maximum torque of the Buick Regal is the same as that of the Sagitar, the maximum torque output range of the Buick Regal is wider. The Buick Regal's maximum torque speed range is between 1700rpm-4400rpm, while the Sagitar's maximum torque speed range is relatively narrow and can only output maximum torque between 1750rpm-3000rpm. The wider maximum torque speed range can bring excellent power performance to Buick Regal, and it only takes 9.1 seconds to accelerate from 100 kilometers to 100 kilometers.

With the support of the 1.5T engine + 9-speed HYDRA-MATIC intelligent transmission, Buick Regal achieves both power performance and fuel economy, and the comprehensive fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is as low as 6.76 L.

A car that combines power and control fun requires not only an excellent powertrain, but also a chassis with solid materials and precise adjustment. SAIC-GM Buick Regal adopts a newly designed chassis structure. The full-frame subframe connected at 8 points in the front and 4 points in the rear provides a solid foundation for the chassis and significantly improves the rigidity of the entire vehicle. At the same time, the application of the enhanced MacPherson suspension in the front and the enhanced multi-link suspension in the rear gives the Buick Regal an excellent handling quality at the same level.

In order to better adapt to Chinese roads and meet the driving needs of Chinese consumers, SAIC-GM Pan-Asia Automotive Technology Center has locally adjusted the Buick Regal chassis, which not only ensures a fun driving experience, but also provides a comfortable and comfortable riding experience.

Buick Regal is equipped with an electric tailgate and streaming media rearview mirror that are rare for A-class family cars in the same price range. Among them, the electric tailgate not only allows female car owners to open and close the trunk more elegantly and calmly, but also allows easy and convenient opening and closing of the trunk when carrying a lot of items with both hands.
