Inovev expects production of 30,000 units / year of new Buick Regal
- The new generation of the Buick Regal marketed from this fall will be the last car of the brand derived from an Opel model. Indeed, the Regal is derived from the Opel Insignia which is the last Opel designed under the ownership of General Motors. As such, it can carry a Buick logo, but Buick will no longer be able to badge the next Opel models, designed under the ownership of PSA. The construction of the future Buick range will have to be done on a new basis, probably of Chevrolet models.
- The latest Opel-inspired Buick is exactly the same as the Opel Insignia launched in Europe in the first half of 2017. It is a D-segment sedan, competing with Ford Fusion (Mondeo), Lincoln MKZ, Chevrolet Malibu and most importantly Toyota Camry, Honda Accord and Nissan Altima which dominate the US PC market.
- In the Buick range, it is located above the Verano sedan (C segment) and below the LaCrosse sedan (E segment), this brand having neither a B nor a F segment sedan.
- Like the previous generation, the new Buick Regal is produced in Canada, in Oshawa, Ontario. It is the least produced model of the Buick brand in the NAFTA region and will remain so, as Inovev expects production to be no more than 30,000 units annually over the next five years.
