Kansas City GMC Dealers Stock the 2016 Buick Regal

Kansas City GMC dealers have plenty of great options, but the 2016 Buick Regal is one that stands out from the rest. The newer amenities, like OnStar and IntelliLink, make a 2016 model worth it. This post provides a brief breakdown of the amenities you can expect from a 2016 Buick Regal.

The 2016 Buick Regal comes with a plenty of standard features, an optional turbocharged engine, reasonable price tag, and available all-wheel drive. This midsize sedan (available at most GMC dealers in Kansas), comes in four different trim levels to accommodate any budget or amenity preference.

With the base 1SV Regal, you can expect 18-inch alloy wheels, automatic headlights, fog lights, and remote keyless entry for optimal convenience. The heated power mirrors are a great asset in the wintertime, and cruise control lets you drive for long periods without your foot cramping up. If your family has varying levels of temperature preference, the dual-zone automatic climate control is the solution to all your problems! The leather upholstery may get a little hot in the summer, but wintertime is great with heated front seats.

The comfort of the driver is priority one in this vehicle; an eight-way power driver seat with two-way power lumbar support satisfies even the pickiest driver. Plus, a tils-and-telescoping leather-wrapped steering wheel accommodates any posture. Passengers aren't neglected either though—the power height-adjustable passenger seat with manual adjustments keeps everyone happy. If you transfer a lot of large recreational equipment in your vehicle, the split-folding rear seats allow you to expand your cargo room when you don't have passengers in the back. As a bonus safety feature, an auto-dimming rearview mirror ensures you don't have to worry about being blinded while driving. Kansas City GMC dealers can tell you all about the IntelliLink infotainment system that comes standard in a 2016 Buick Regal. Even grandma could read this 8-inch touchscreen, and navigation is easy!

Nervous in parking lots? Terrified of backing into another vehicle? The Regal's rearview camera guarantees that nothing will get by you without you knowing. The Bluetooth phone and audio connectivity make road trips a treat rather than a terror. No need to rifle through your CD case to find those 90's hits—just hook up your phone and let Spotify do the rest!

If you have an iPhone, you can take advantage of Siri voice control through the Bluetooth microphone. To round off the standard features, we have Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, OnStar emergency communications, a seven-speaker audio system with a CD player, and a satellite radio with two USB ports. Charge your phones, blast your music, and rest assured that any accidents will receive an immediate response with the standard features of a 2016 Buick Regal.

If you choose to go with a higher trim level, expect a slightly higher price. The 1SL tacks on a turbocharged engine and an available Sport Touring package (with special 18-inch wheels and a rear spoiler). A turbocharged engine incorporates a turbocharger for extra power. The turbocharger is an add-on part that utilizes recycled exhaust gases to increase power. The smaller turbocharged engines have great acceleration in a smaller package. Because of their size, they also get better fuel economy. Essentially, it's like having two engines in one.

The Premium II includes Xenon headlights, which offer a brighter light than halogen headlights. These noble gas-based lights require less energy consumption and have a longer lifespan. In fact, "The light is produced by an electric arc that forms between two tungsten electrodes". They are made up of a quartz glass bulb filled with xenon gas under high pressure. The mercury and metallic salts make up less than 1 mg in total. The rear parking sensors make backup a breeze, while keyless entry and ignition make driving the enjoyable experience it should be. An added safety feature is rear-seat side airbags, a feature which contributes to their five star overall rating in crash tests. The 110-volt power outlet, navigation system, and nine-speaker Bose audio system ensures your vehicle technology comes with all the bells and whistles.

For the ultimate Regal experience, go with the GS trim level. It comes with 19-inch wheels (because bigger is better, right?), unique front and rear fasciae, front and rear parking sensors, and a sport-tuned suspension with adaptive dampers. The adjustable driver modes affect the suspension, steering and shift calibration. Plus, the Brembo front brakes and body –color sport rocker panels make this model a real beauty. The enlarged and configurable gauge-cluster information display makes the driver's job easy, and the sport front seats with three-spoke sport steering wheel amp up the luxury factor. Any one of the Kansas City GMC dealers in the area would be happy to assist you in choosing the trim level that best matches your needs.

As an option for the Premium II and GS trim levels, two driver confidence packages give you the reassurance you deserve when you're behind the wheel. The first package includes a blind-spot monitor, lane departure warnings, rear cross-traffic alert and forward collision alert. Even though these features don't substitute for safe driving, they provide the safety net. It even has driver memory settings, so you can get back to your sweet spot even after someone else drives your car. The second package includes adaptive cruise control, which adjusts your speed to match the car in front of you when in cruise control mode. That way, you don't have to be constantly adjusting your speed on long road trips. A forward collision navigation system with automatic emergency braking also come with this package. Extra add-ons include a sunroof, 18-inch chrome-clad wheels and ambient interior lighting.

The engine of a 2016 Buick Regal can be explained in further detail by any GMC dealers in Kansas, but the gist of it is a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine with 183 hp and 172 pound-feet of torque. It has six-speed automatic transmission, but the fuel economy ratings aren't the best. It gets 23 miles per gallon combines (19 city/31 highway). If you go with the turbocharged engine, you can expect better numbers here (21 city/30 highway). Kansas City GMC dealers will let you take the car for a spin before making a final decision, so you'll get to experience the handling for yourself.

If safety is a concern, have no fear! Kansas City GMC dealers wouldn't stock any vehicle that wasn't safe. The 2016 Buick Regal has antilock disk brakes, stability control, front seat side-impact airbags, and full-length side curtain airbags. That's a lot of cushion. The OnStar system has automatic crash notification and on-demand roadside assistance. If your insurance doesn't cover roadside assistance, this is the perfect car for you. Plus, an emergency button and stolen vehicle locator keep you safe in non-accident related incidents. You can even access navigation through OnStar. All you have to do is press a button and tell an advisor where you'd like to go. Or, you can send directions to your in-vehicle navigation system with your vehicle's mobile app. With over 14 million points of interest to choose from, you can navigate virtually anywhere. The Regal received a five-star overall rating in government crash tests, four stars for frontal-impact safety, and five starts for total side-impact safety. Kansas City GMC dealers can give you more information about the safety settings on this vehicle, as well as other safety ratings for the vehicle.

The interior of a 2016 Buick Regal embraces simplicity while giving you all the amenities you need to enjoy the ride. The sleek dashboard and minimal button clutter make it an upscale-looking vehicle. An IntelliLink interface allows for swipe commands and voice-command functionality. The graphics are colorful and clear, and the cabin keeps out loud noises even when you're driving on the highway. Handling is capable with the sport-tuned suspension. Though the Regal is technically built for five people, it more comfortably fits four.

As far as styling goes, this model has a seamless integration of buttons, screens and technology. A waterfall grille, hockey-stick line across the bottom, and LED wings on the front and back complete the look. If you go with the GS, expect bladed, vertical air intakes on the front end. Exhaust tips are also reshaped, and the rear spoiler is a bit larger.
