New Car Profile of the 2004 Buick Regal Mid-Size Sedan

Description: Mid-Size Sedan
Base MSRP Range: $24,360-$28,810
Invoice Price Range: $22,284-$26,361

Buick's mid-size sedan divides in two trims with base LS stocking GM's 3.8-liter V6 for 200 hp or sporty GS applying a supercharger boost for 240 hp.

The cabin pitches twin buckets up front (and, unlike other Buick sedans, there's no option for a front bench), with space for up to three on the rear bench.

Two new optional packages arrive in 2004 -- the Luxury Package or a Leather and Luxury Package. The former brings 16-inch aluminum wheels, Gran Touring sport suspension tuning, radio controls mounted on the steering wheel, assist grips at passenger doors with switch-on reading lamps and color-keyed floor mats. The latter carries these items plus leather seat upholstery, twin zones for the automatic climate system and a rear seatback that slits and folds.
