Small overlap front: driver-side
Rating applies to 2018-20 models
Tested vehicle: 2018 Buick Regal Sportback Preferred 4-door 2wd
The Buick Regal was redesigned for the 2018 model year. There are two variants, the Sportback 4-door hatchback and the TourX wagon.
Driver-side small overlap frontal ratings are assigned by the Institute based on a test conducted by General Motors. The ratings apply to both the Sportback and TourX.
