Overview

Despite their attempts to label the 2019 Buick Regal TourX as a crossover, it really is GM's attempt at getting into the "tall wagon" game that has become popular lately with the success of the Subaru Outback and Volkswagen Golf Alltrack. The Buick aims for a spot upmarket from the Subaru Outback but still below true luxury wagons like the Audi Allroad and Volvo V60 Cross Country. To this end, the TourX is a nice wagon with tons of space, standard all-wheel drive, a 250-horsepower turbocharged engine, and a raised ride height that makes a great alternative for those who don't want to submit to the crossover craze that has captured America.

What's New for 2019

There are no significant changes to the Regal TourX for 2019.

Choosing Your Buick Regal TourX

The only engine available with the Buick Regal TourX is a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that puts out a healthy 250 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. It's a competent engine with plenty of power for the drivetrain, but the eight-speed automatic transmission it's mated to unfortunately tempers sporty ambitions for the sake of fuel economy. All TourX models come standard with an intelligent all-wheel-drive system that sends extra power to the appropriate wheels when it detects loss of traction.

While this tall wagon won't tackle the Rubicon anytime soon, it does give a bit more confidence when driving in snow or when driving to a campsite not far off the pavement. The TourX's wagon roots also give it a cavernous interior that exceeds any SUV in its price bracket, which is a strong selling point for some.

The Regal TourX line up is relatively simple with just three trims:

Buick Regal TourX

Base

The base level Regal TourX starts at $29,995 (all prices include the $925 destination charge). This is as simple as the TourX gets, with most of your money going toward the AWD system. The seats are cloth, and while the driver gets a six-way manually adjustable seat, the passenger only gets four axes of adjustability. That said, it does feature keyless entry and Buick's signature Quiet Tuning that helps cut down on cabin noise, which goes a long way when driving long distances. At this trim, there's only three exterior color choices and no options or packages available. It really is as basic as it gets, making it very difficult to call this a luxury car with a straight face.

Buick Regal TourX

Preferred

Stepping up to the Preferred trim at $33,595 makes the TourX feel much more like the near-luxury car it strives to be. While you're still stuck with cloth seats with no ability to upgrade, you now have to interior color options and the driver seat is now power adjustable in eight ways, including two-way lumbar support (passengers get a six-way manually adjustable seat). There's also an auto-dimming rearview mirror, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and the exterior color choices have greatly expanded, although any color but white and red is extra.

The Preferred does have access to several options packages. The first is the $1,240 Driver Confidence Package I that adds rear cross-traffic alert, blind-spot monitoring, lane change monitoring, rear park assist, and LED headlights. There's also the $1,870 Sights and Sounds Package, which includes navigation, a Bose eight-speaker audio system, a remote vehicle starter, an enhanced vehicle information center in the infotainment screen, and HD Radio. Floor mats and cargo trays are also available as a part of the $200 Buick Interior Protection Package and the $360 Summer/Winter Package. The only standalone option is a $1,200 panoramic sunroof.

Buick Regal TourX

Essence

The top-of-the-line Regal TourX is the Essence trim, which starts at $35,995 and finally starts to feel like an actual luxury wagon. Leather replaces cloth throughout the interior, and both the steering wheel and front seats receive heating. The Essence also gets a nifty hands-free tailgate, and a 40/20/40-split folding rear seat that's crucial for carrying longer items. Remote start is standard, and the infotainment screen grows to a full eight inches.

The option packages are also expanded with the Essence. The $1,725 Driver Confidence Package I includes everything offered in the previous trim, but also adds a cargo management system, wireless charging, heated driver's side auto-dimming door mirror, adaptive headlights, and four-way lumbar adjustability for the driver's seat. The $1,190 Driver Confidence Package II builds off of the Driver Confidence Package I, adding a full raft of driver assistance features like adaptive cruise control, forward automatic emergency braking, front pedestrian braking, lane keeping assist, lane departure warning, forward collision warning, and a following distance indicator. Additionally, the Sights and Sounds Package has been reduced in price to $1,095 and includes only HD Radio, the Bose sound system, and navigation. The Buick Interior Protection Package and Summer/Winter Package are also still available and remain unchanged. The only standalone option remains the panoramic sunroof.

CarsDirect Tip

While we're rarely wont to recommend the top trim levels, the 2019 Buick Regal TourX to get is the Essence. It isn't a huge jump in price from the Preferred trim, yet it offers so much more in terms of features and amenities like a hands-free tailgate and leather seats. While it may not be as nice as wagons from the European luxury brands, it's significantly less expensive while still feeling like an upgrade over the Subaru Outback.

Buick's Euro-wagon. The station wagon's popularity waned with the introduction of the minivan, but Buick is trying to bring it back with the 2019 Regal TourX. However, this isn’t the same land yacht your parents may have had. Instead, the Buick Regal TourX follows the tall-wagon concept made popular by luxury wagons like the Volvo XC70 (which was discontinued in 2016) and Audi Allroad, as well as the more common Subaru Outback and Volkswagen Golf Alltrack.

Interestingly, the Regal TourX straddles the gap between the luxury and standard wagons. It is outfitted with a more upscale interior and nicer materials than the VW and Subaru, but it doesn’t quite touch the luxury or price of the Audi and Volvo.

In short, the Regal TourX does exactly what Buick has always set out to do. It provides a “near-luxury” experience that's clearly a cut above the cars for the masses, but without the price associated with an actual luxury brand.

Top trim is worth it. Believe it or not, the top Essence trim offers a lot more value than the lower trim levels. It’s the only model that gets leather, and it comes with a variety of must have features like a folding rear seat, heated front seats and steering wheel, and a bigger touchscreen. These features alone are worth the $2,400 jump in price from the Preferred trim.

On the other side of the equation, the base TourX trim is to be avoided. While you can probably live with cloth seats, the front seats are manually adjustable and don’t even offer lumbar support. There aren’t even any options to dress it up a bit, and Buick forces you to choose between three exterior colors – two of which cost extra.

Respectable performance. The Regal TourX is powered by a great engine, a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder. The 250 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque is enough to make it feel faster than six-cylinder Subaru Outback models, but unfortunately the eight-speed automatic transmission offered with the Regal TourX has other ideas.

While certainly better off than the Subaru’s continuously variable transmission, it makes driving quickly on twisty back roads feel like making a teenager clean their room – they’re both only doing it because you’re forcing them to, not because they want to.

Fortunately, the Regal TourX does offer more, as all models get an all-wheel-drive system that intelligently sends power to whichever rear wheel needs it most. Additionally, the Regal TourX gets Buick’s signature QuietTuning, which makes the interior a much quieter and more comfortable place to be.

Nice(ish) interior. As previously mentioned, the Regal TourX seeks to bridge the gap between mainstream wagons and the luxury ones. Specifically, it wants to be a nicer option than the six-cylinder-powered variants of the Subaru Outback, which is in the same price range.

The Regal TourX accomplishes this goal easily, but mostly because interiors have never been Subaru’s forte. There are some soft touch materials, but hard plastics still spoil the overall effect in noticeable places. Even the leather seats in the Essence trim feel like they were sourced from the cows that General Motors' infamous bean counters wanted to use, and the stitching looks haphazard in places.

One of the biggest draws of the Regal TourX is the amount of room it offers. With 73.5 cubic feet of room with the rear seats folded flat, it rivals most SUVs in terms of space. It’s also more than any of its wagon rivals, as the Regal TourX is nearly a foot longer.


Buick Regal TourX

Final thoughts. The 2019 Buick Regal TourX is a car with so much potential, but it still falls flat in places in the ways that GM is known best for. This tall wagon looks great both in person and on paper, but the Regal TourX starts to disappoint after spending some time with it. It certainly isn’t a cheaper alternative to an Audi or a Volvo, despite what Buick may say.

That said, if you like the idea of an off-road wagon but want an interior that’s nicer than what the Subaru Outback has to offer, the Regal TourX is worth a look. It's also roomier and quicker than the Outback.

If acceleration and interior design aren't high on your priority list but actual off-road ability is, the Outback is a much better choice due to the higher ground clearance. If you’re looking for a true luxury wagon, try the Volvo V60, Volvo V90, or Audi Allroad on for size. If you can’t justify spending the money to get the Essence trim, the Volkswagen Golf Alltrack is an attractive looking option that costs several thousand dollars less than the Buick.
