2020 Regal Sportback Interior

Despite its name, the Regal certainly wasn't designed with royalty in mind. The interior is utterly average in just about every regard. There isn't an impressive amount of passenger space, but it certainly isn't lacking, either. There's a decent amount of cargo space for a hatch-style sedan, though. The materials used could be better, but they manage to keep the price down for those looking for a good bargain on a handsome car. The controls are all laid out for relative ease of access, but there aren't all that many features, to begin with. The lack of standard advanced driver-assistance features is a bit disappointing in a car that has such large blind spots.

Seating and Interior Space

The Regal Sportback manages to be quite accommodating despite its sleeker styling. The low, sloping roofline does swallow a few inches of headroom, but most adults should still be able to fit in either row without too much fuss. There is plenty of legroom up front, too, but the rear seats aren't quite so generous. You could still fit two average-sized adults back there, but longer rides could lead to discomfort, and if you want to use all three rear seating appointments, you'll need to keep it to smaller children. The standard Regal only offers manually adjustable seats, but every model from the Preferred up comes with an eight-way power driver's seat, making it a little easier to find a comfortable driving position. Forward visibility is good, thanks to the wide windshield, but the sloping roof and broad rear pillars create large blind spots to the sides and behind.

Interior Colors and Materials

While it may try to look more upscale, the Buick Regal is not a true luxury vehicle, with the interior dressed in materials of middling quality. There is also evidence of some shoddy craftsmanship when it comes to stitching. The Regal and Preferred trims come upholstered in either Ebony or Shale cloth, while the Essence gets genuine leather in the same hues. Only the top-tier Avenir offers the plusher perforated quilt-stitched leather upholstery, available in either Ebony or Whisper Beige. The same Ebony interior accents come standard on every model. The armrests on the doors are wrapped in soft-touch leather, but there is still plenty of low-budget plastic on display.

2020 Regal Sportback Trunk and Cargo Space

Though it may sacrifice a little interior room for the more stylish sloping roofline, the Regal Sportback is far from impractical. Behind the rear seats, it provides an impressive 31.5 cubic feet of cargo capacity, easily beating out rival traditional sedans like Honda Accord and Lexus ES, which each offer 16.7 cubic feet. You'll be able to fit your golfing gear in the trunk and still have space left over to pick up the groceries after a day on the green. But, if you still need a little more room, the rear seats can be folded down in a 60/40 or 40/20/40 split, depending on trim, to free up 60.7 cubic feet. While not the most practical vehicle for moving larger items, due to the low roofline, the Regal can still handle quite a bit in the trunk.

Small-item storage isn't lacking, either. The glove compartment is large and spacious, as is the center armrest cubby. Just ahead of that is a smaller storage bin with another concealed storage tray just below the center stack controls. The door pockets are deep and wide, easily fitting several water bottles.

2020 Regal Sportback Infotainment and Features

Features

While not truly bare-bones, the Regal trim does supply only the basics. These include cloth upholstery, a six-way manual driver's seat, and a manual tilt-and-telescoping steering column. Convenience features comprise keyless entry and ignition, and cruise control, while dual-zone climate control is a newly added standard feature. A rearview camera and teen driver system comprise the basic safety features, while a 3.5-inch monochromatic driver information display rests between the gauges. The Preferred upgrades to an eight-way power driver's seat and gives the passenger seat the six-way manual treatment. Both seats gain lumbar support, and the steering wheel comes wrapped in leather. Leather upholstery adorns the interior of the Essence, and the passenger seat is upgraded to an eight-way power seat, while both front seats get heating. The driver information display is upgraded to a 4.2-inch color screen, and remote start is added. The top-tier Avenir rounds out the standard features with four-way lumbar support for the front seats and a suite of safety features that includes blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane change alert, and rear parking assist. Further available features include a power moonroof, a head-up display, adaptive cruise control, and more advanced driver-assist features like forward collision avoidance and lane keep assist.

Infotainment

While it may be a bit dated compared to the more modern systems found in rival sedans, the infotainment suite on the Regal Sportback still comes with everything you need for your daily commute. The seven-inch touchscreen interface comes equipped with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth, and 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot capabilities. The seven-speaker sound system also comes standard with AM/FM stereo. Two USB ports are provided for the front and rear seats, while a wireless charging pad is added to the Avenir. The Essence adds SiriusXM to the mix, while the top-tier model also gets HD Radio to go along with the upgraded eight-speaker Bose sound system. Navigation is also reserved for the Avenir, unless you opt for one of the lower-trim packages.
