2018 Buick Regal TourX | Test Drive | Edmunds

Buick has launched an all-new SUV alternative, the 2018 Regal TourX. Associate Staff Writer Will Kaufman traveled to Arizona to test out this five-passenger wagon on pavement and dirt. Positioned in between luxury and mainstream competitors, the Regal TourX combines leather seats and a quiet cabin with a massive cargo area with a capable all-wheel-drive system.
