Yearly Updates 1991 Century A new grille, turn signals, and front-end trim gave the Century a fresh front-end look. 1992 Century Only detail changes were evident in the Century coupe, sedan, and wagon. In addition to the Custom and Limited, a Special series went on sale for a lower price. By now, the related Pontiac 6000 and Chevrolet Celebrity were gone, leaving only the Century and Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera. 1993 Century A driver-side airbag was added for ’93 (optional on the Special, standard on Custom and Limited).

A new 2.2-liter 4-cylinder engine replaced the 2.5-liter. Fuel tanks grew from 15.7 to 16.4 gallons, and rub strips and side moldings were now body colored. 1994 Century A driver-side airbag went into all Century models for ’94, along with antilock braking.

Loss of the Limited sedan and Custom coupe and wagon left only four models: two sedans, two wagons, and no coupes. A 120-horsepower 2.2-liter 4-cylinder engine replaced the short-lived 110-horsepower version. Also new: a 3.1-liter V6, delivering the same 160 horsepower as its 3.3-liter predecessor. The grille was new, too. 1995 Century A new backlit instrument cluster and new seats were the only significant changes for 1995. 1996 Century Engine coolant now was intended to last 5 years or 100,000 miles, spark plugs expected a 100,000-mile life, and a new stainless-steel exhaust system was supposed to be more durable.

1993 Park Avenue Service Manual have information about the air bag system, including repair or disposal. A CAUTION: For up to 2 minutes after the ignition key.

Otherwise, the Century showed little change for its final outing in this form. All models now had V6 engines except the Special sedan, in which the V6 was optional.

The rough 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine is barely adequate for sedans, and weaker yet in the heavier station wagon. A smooth, responsive 3.3-liter V6 delivers ample power at low speeds and a surprisingly strong kick under heavy throttle for brisk highway passing. That engine also is fairly quiet, unlike the noisy standard four.

Also, the 2.5-liter four did not prove to be trouble free, and fuel mileage wasn’t much better than the V6. We averaged nearly 20 mpg with a 3.3-liter V6 in mixed city/suburban driving. A four gets only about two mpg more. The 2.2-liter four that replaced the 2.5-liter in 1993 isn’t much improvement, lacking the power to move a car this size with any authority.

Adding 10 horsepower to the four for ’94 didn’t make it a tempting choice, either. The 3.1-liter V6 installed in more recent models delivers ample power for passing and spirited takeoffs. Century’s Dynaride suspension delivers a soft and reasonably good ride, but handling won’t win any awards. The base suspension and narrow standard tires are fine for gentle commuting, but spirited cornering causes the narrow tires to lose their grip.

That suspension absorbs most bumps easily, but the front end bounces over wavy surfaces for a floaty, poorly controlled ride. An optional Gran Touring Suspension, with fatter tires, improves cornering ability but results in a harsh ride. Six adults will fit inside, but four will be far more comfortable. Head and leg room are adequate all around, but three cannot fit across without squeezing. Luggage space is ample, with a deep, wide trunk that has a flat floor. Wagons have an optional rear-facing third seat, for 8-passenger capacity. Front brakes tend to wear out quickly.

93 Buick Century Cars

Many early problems, including trouble with the rack-and-pinion power steering system, were eventually corrected on the later models. Trouble Spots Automatic transmission Description: 4T60E transmissions may drop out of drive while cruising, shift erratically, or have no second, third, or fourth gear because of a bad ground connection for the shift solenoids. (1994) Automatic transmission Description: TH-125 or 440-T4 automatic transmissions may shift late or not upshift at all. The problem is a stuck throttle valve inside the transmission. (1990-94) Engine misfire Description: Cars with the 3.1-liter engine may stall, idle roughly, or suffer from tip-in hesitation after extended idling.

Additionally, the defroster may not clear the windshield when the temperature is around 40-50 degrees F. The fix is to get a new PROM and a vacuum-hose elbow for the PCV system. (1994-95) Engine noise Description: A tick or rattle when the engine is started cold may be due to too much wrist pin-to-piston clearance. (1994-95) Engine noise Description: Bearing knock was common on many 3.3- and 3.8-liter engines due to too much clearance on the number one main bearing. (1992-93) Engine noise Description: An intermittent rattling noise after starting is often caused by automatic transmission pump starvation or cavitation, or a sticking pressure-regulator valve. (1994-95) Oil leak Description: The plastic valve covers on 3.1-liter engines were prone to leaks and should be replaced with redesigned aluminum valve covers.

(1994-95) Steering noise Description: The upper bearing mount in the steering column can get loose and cause a snapping or clicking, requiring a new bearing spring and turn-signal cancel cam. (1994-96) Transmission leak Description: The right front-axle seal at the automatic transaxle is prone to leak and GM issued a revised seal to correct the problem. Recall History 1990-91 w/six-way power seats or power recliner Description: Short circuit could set seats on fire.

1990-96 Description: Rear-outboard seatbelt anchors may not withstand required load; in a collision, metal may tear and allow anchor to separate from body. 1992 Description: The reverse servo apply pin may bind causing the transmission to remain in reverse when shifted to neutral.

1993 Description: Right front brake hose on some cars is improperly manufactured and can cause reduced brake effectiveness. 1994 Description: Water can cause short circuit in power door-lock assembly. 1994 Description: Improperly tightened spindle nut can cause premature wheel bearing failure. 1994 Description: Cruise control cable may separate from the conduit while engaged, resulting in loss of accelerator control. 1994 Description: Secondary accelerator control may not return throttle to the fully closed position and could cause a collision.

Buick Regal Overview Manufacturer Also called (Europe) Insignia (UK) (Australasia) North America 1973–2004 2011–present China 1999–present Body and chassis (1973–1987) (1988–present) (2008–present) Chronology Predecessor (1972) The Buick Regal is an upscale that was first introduced by for the 1973 model year. Production ended in 2004 and began again in 2011.

For the 2011 model year, re-introduced the Regal to the market, positioned as an upscale. Production and sales in have continued since 1999. For certain model years between 1973 and 2004, the Regal shared bodies and powertrains with the similar. The two most recent generations (2011–present) are North American market versions of the, known as the Insignia in the. 3-speed. 3-speed.

4-speed automatic Dimensions 108 in (2,743.2 mm) A downsized Regal appeared for 1978 with Buick's new 196 cu in (3.2 L) V6 engine as standard equipment and a new version of the venerable 231 cu in (3.8 L) as an option (which became standard in 1980). Initially a 3-speed manual transmission was standard but this was later replaced by an automatic. This model lasted 10 years. The base model was equipped with softer-riding luxury suspension, and did not offer a manual transmission in later years. 1982–1987 Buick Regal The 1978 Regal could be equipped with a 3.8 L V-6 engine with automatic transmission and the sedan model was dropped, once again leaving Regals exclusively as coupes with the Century nameplate applied to bread-and-butter sedans and station wagons.

Non-turbo versions were offered with either a 2-bbl or a 4-bbl. The was also available with the turbocharged engine. The only other turbocharged cars available in the U.S. Market in 1978 were imports from, and.

The Turbo Regal also included a firm handling suspension with larger tires and sport wheels. A major facelift in 1981 gave the Regal a much more aerodynamic profile, helping make it possible for the car to compete on the racing circuit. The sloping hood and nose of the car made it the favorite of several NASCAR teams. Drove one to victory in the 1981 Daytona 500, and the car won a majority of the 1981 and 1982 seasons races and won the NASCAR manufacturers title in 1981 and 1982. For street use were still available, but had shrunk to 265 cu in (4.3 L) (1980 and 1981 only, Pontiac built), and the V6 was rapidly gaining popularity. In 1982, a new Century appeared on the, but the former Century sedan and wagon were not discontinued. These models were simply rebadged as Regals, and for the first time the name appeared on a full model lineup.

The wagon was discontinued after 1983, and the sedan dropped from the lineup the next year. From 1986 to 1987, the 5.0 L V8 was available as an option. The 3.8 2-bbl V6 was standard.

The 200-4R overdrive transmission was an option with either engine. Somerset Limited Edition In 1980, the Regal was offered in a special Somerset Limited Edition trim which featured unique tan and dark blue designer exterior paint, wire wheel covers, sport mirrors, and chrome Somerset badging. The interior had tan and blue plush velour upholstery, brushed chrome trim, and additional Somerset badging. A Somerset Limited Edition model was also offered on the restyled 1981 Regal. It had unique dark sandstone and camel exterior paint, sport mirrors, and turbine wheels. The interior plush velour upholstery was camel with dark brown piping.

Grand National, Turbo-T, T-Type, and GNX In 1982, the Regal Grand National debuted, which was named for the (the 'Grand National' term was part of the Cup series nomenclature until 1986). Buick had won the Manufacturers Cup in 1981 and 1982, and wanted to capitalize on its success: 'What wins on Sunday, sells on Monday'. These 1982 cars were not painted black, which may confuse those not familiar with them. All started out as charcoal gray Regals that were shipped off to a subcontractor for finishing.

Originally intended for a run of 100 units, Cars and Concepts of Brighton, Michigan, retrofitted 215 Regals with the GN package. Most obvious was the light silver gray firemist paint added to each side. Red pinstripes and billboard shadow lettering proclaiming 'Buick' were applied. The wheel opening moldings and rocker panel moldings were blacked out using black vinyl tape. Finally, a front air dam and rear spoiler were installed. On the inside, special 'Lear-Siegler' seats were installed. These seats are fully adjustable and were covered with silver brandon cloth with black vinyl inserts.

The front seat had Buick's '6' emblem embroidered onto them. Also, a special clock delete plate was added to the instrument panel which contained the yellow and orange '6' logo and the words 'Grand National Buick Motor Division'.) The 1982 GN came with a naturally aspirated 4.1 L V6 engine with 125 hp (93 kW) at 4,000 rpm and 205 lb⋅ft (278 N⋅m) of torque at 2,000 rpm.

Of the 215 Regal Grand Nationals produced in 1982, at least 35 were based on the Buick Regal Sport coupe package with the turbocharged 3.8 V6 engine with 175 hp (130 kW) at 4,000 rpm and 275 lb⋅ft (373 N⋅m) of torque at 2,600 rpm. There were only 2,022 Sport coupes produced in 1982, and the number of cars with both the GN and Sport coupe packages is estimated to be fewer than 50. For 1983, there was no Grand National. The Sport coupe model was renamed the; 3,732 were produced (190 hp (140 kW) at 1,600 rpm and 280 lb⋅ft (380 N⋅m) of torque at 2,400 rpm). The T-Type had been used on other Buicks, starting with the Riviera in 1981 (in 1979 and 1980, it was the S Type). The 1983 Regal T-Type featured tube headers, Hydro-Boost II brakes, 200-4R 4-speed overdrive trans and 3.42 rear axle (7.5').

Buick Regal T-Type In 1984 the Grand National returned in all black paint. The 3,791 cc (3.8 L; 231.3 cu in) became standard and was refined with sequential fuel injection, distributor-less computer controlled ignition, and boasted 200 hp (150 kW) at 4,400 rpm and 300 lb⋅ft (407 N⋅m) of torque at 2,400 rpm. Only 5,204 turbo Regals were produced that year, only 2,000 of which were Grand Nationals. Because this was the first year production of the computer controlled sequential fuel injection and distributor-less ignition, this is often considered the year and model that started the development of the legendary intercooled Grand Nationals. The performance of this package was well ahead of its time and the 'little V6' easily kept up with the bigger V8s. Quarter mile (400 m) performance was listed at 15.9 seconds at stock boost levels of 10 psi (0.69 bar), while for the same year, the Chevrolet Camaro was listed at 17.0 and the Chevrolet Corvette at 15.2 seconds. Soon, performance enthusiasts determined the modifications that worked and the Grand Nationals easily broke into the 13-second territory.

All Grand Nationals had the -made cloth/leather interior which was only available for this year. An estimated 200 of the 1984 Grand Nationals were produced with the T-Top option which makes these the rarest of the Grand Nationals. In 1986, a modified engine design with air-air intercooling boosted the performance even further to a specified 235HP at 4,000 rpm and 330 lb-ft torque at 2,400 rpm. The Grand Nationals (quantity 5,512) and T-Types (quantity 2,384) were both produced in 1986. For 1987, performance reached 245 hp (183 kW) and 355 lb⋅ft (481 N⋅m) of torque. Buick dropped the T-Type package for Regal in 1987 and opted for a 'T' sport package instead. There were only 7,896 turbo Regals produced in 1986.

In 1987, when turbo Regals reached their peak in popularity, a total of 27,590 turbo Regals were produced through December, with those models produced between September and December of that year window stickered as '1987½ Buick Grand National' vehicles. 1987 Regal turbo-T Limited with rare blackout trim package In 1987, a lightweight WE4 (turbo T) option was offered. Only 1,547 of this variant were produced. The differences between a WE4 and the Grand National were the interior trim package, wheels, exterior badging, aluminum bumper supports, and aluminum rear brake drums as opposed to the Grand National's cast iron, making the WE4 a lighter and faster car. The rear spoiler was only available as a dealer installed option.

Nineteen eighty-seven was the only year that the LC2 turbo option was available on any Regal, making it possible to even see a Limited with a vinyl landau roof and a power bulge turbo hood. Turbo Regal Limiteds were one of the rarest models of turbo Regals produced second only to the GNX at 1,035 turbo Limiteds. Turbo Regal Limiteds could be ordered with many options with most having chrome external trim but for $35 could have been built with the full black-out trim option making them extremely rare. Limiteds were treated to a very luxurious interior with plush carpeting and optional bench pillow seats and a column shift.

The 1987 model would be the end of the manufacture of the RWD 'G-Body' Regal, but GM had to extend the build of the Grand National to meet customer demand into December. For the final year, 1987, Buick introduced the limited production GNX, for 'Grand National Experimental', at $29,900. Made in partnership with /, Buick produced only 547 GNs with the interior trim package, that were then sent off to and upgraded into the Buick GNX. Buick underrated the GNX at 276 hp (280 PS; 206 kW) @ 4,400 rpm and a very substantial 360 lb⋅ft (488 N⋅m) @ 3,000 rpm of (actual output is 300 bhp (304 PS; 224 kW) and 420 lb⋅ft (569 N⋅m).

This was created to be the 'Grand National to end all Grand Nationals.' Changes made included a special T-3 with a ceramic-impeller blowing through a more efficient and significantly larger capacity with a 'Cermatel (ceramic-aluminum) coated' pipe connecting the intercooler to the engine. A GNX specific E-EPROM, low-restriction exhaust with dual mufflers, reprogrammed turbo Hydramatic 200-4R transmission with a custom torque converter and transmission cooler, and unique differential cover/panhard bar included more of the performance modifications. Exterior styling changes include vents located on each front fender, 16 inch black mesh style wheels with VR-speed rated tires, and deletion of the hood and fender emblems. The interior changes of the GNX included a serial number on the dash plaque and a revised instrument cluster providing analog Stewart-Warner gauges, including an analog turbo boost gauge.

Performance was measured faster than the and the with a quarter mile time of 12.7 seconds at 113.1 mph (182 km/h) (0.3 and 0.8 seconds quicker, 2.9 and 13.3 mph faster) and a 0-60 mph (97 km/h) time of 4.6 seconds (0.4 and 0.3 seconds quicker, respectively). GNX #001 is the 1986 prototype currently owned by Buick and sometimes makes appearances at car shows around the US. The GNX used a unique torque arm that was mounted to a special, GNX only, rear differential cover, for increased traction. The torque arm rear suspension alters the suspension geometry, making the body lift while planting the rear tires down, resulting in increased traction. The stealthy appearance of the all-black GNX and Grand National (and the resemblance of its grill to his helmet's mouthpiece), coupled with the fact that the Grand National was initially released during the popularity of movies, earned it the title 'Darth Vader's Car'. Covered the GNX model's introduction with the headline 'Lord Vader, your car is ready.' Due to the six cylinder engine, the Buick make, and the black paint Grand Nationals were sometimes referred to as the 'Dark Side'.

The 'Dark Side' contrasted with the more common V8 Mustangs and Camaros that were popular at the time. Third generation (1988–1996) Third generation. 1996 Buick Regal sedan A new Regal appeared in 1988 on the; this generation ran with few changes for nine years. Though the new Regal returned to Buick's original concept in being offered only as a coupe and in being aimed once again squarely at the personal luxury buyer, it departed from tradition in being the first front-wheel drive model, and in having no serious performance option or edition. Neither a engine nor a turbocharged was offered; the only engine offered in 1988 was the Chevrolet 2.8L V6, producing 125 hp (93 kW). In 1990, owing to the declining personal luxury car market, the Regal was again offered as a four-door (as were the Cutlass Supreme and Grand Prix the same year, the latter offered as a sedan for the first time). The Regal was initially offered in base Custom and upscale Limited trim lines.

In 1989, the trim line was introduced, featuring aluminum wheels, body side cladding and a console mounted shifter attached to a 4-speed automatic. For 1990, the Regal gained the option of the Buick 3.8 V6.

The 3800 V6 was unique to the Regal, differentiating it from the mechanically similar, and. Were made standard on all but the base Custom cars in 1992, and the grille was redesigned again for 1993. Along with the new look came an electronically controlled and -like rear lights and bumper. In 1994, a driver's side was added, along with standard ABS on all models, standard power windows, and 20 hp (15 kW) more in the base engine due to a revised intake manifold and cylinder head.

The Limited coupe was deleted; only the Custom and Gran Sport (GS) coupes remained. Dual airbags were new for 1995 along with a new interior. In 1996, the larger 3.8 L V6 engine gained 35 hp (26 kW). Although 1996 was the last year of this model, production of the 1996 model continued into 1997 as the replacement model was late. Engines. 1988–1989 2.8 L (170 in³), 125 hp (93 kW) and 160 lb⋅ft (220 N⋅m). 1989–1993 3.1 L (191 in³) MFI V6, 140 hp (104 kW) and 180 lb⋅ft (240 N⋅m).

1994–1996 3.1 L (191 in³) SFI V6, 160 hp (119 kW) and 185 lb⋅ft (251 N⋅m). 1990–1995 3.8 L (231 in³) V6, 170 hp (127 kW) and 220 lb⋅ft (300 N⋅m). 1996 3.8 L (231 in³) V6, 200 hp (149 kW) and 225 lb⋅ft (305 N⋅m).

1997–2004 Buick Regal sedan In 1997, the Century and the Regal once again became versions of the same car, only offered as a four-door sedan, and sitting on a revised that was shared with the, the, the and. Differences between the Regal and Century were mostly cosmetic.

As the upmarket version, the Regal offered larger engines and fancier trim, and once again boasted a newer version of the 3.8 L V6. While the Century was mainly a reliable, economy-minded car based upon the W-body, the Regal was fitted with many amenities, including heated leather seats (optional on the Century), a 8-speaker surround sound system, dual climate control, and expansive interior space. Few changes occurred during this version's seven-year run. It offered 5-passenger seating on all trim levels like the Pontiac Grand Prix and Oldsmobile Intrigue (formerly Cutlass Supreme), unlike their predecessors that had optional 6-passenger seating and the Buick Century (formerly built on the ) which had standard 6-passenger seating. This period held the fastest Buick since the days of the 1991-1996 Roadmaster, the Buick Regal GS.

This car was now instead of turbocharged, and produced 240 hp (180 kW) and 280 lb⋅ft (380 N⋅m) of torque. When introduced in 1997, Buick advertised the Regal as the 'car for the supercharged family'. Buick also released two other model types, the LSE and the GSE. The LSE stayed with the 200 hp (150 kW) engine with upgrades and the GSE stayed with the 240 hp (180 kW) supercharged engine with upgrades.

Also, in 2000 Buick came out with a concept GSX that had an intercooled 3.8 L, but was supercharged rather than turbocharged. It had 295.24 hp (220.16 kW) The North American Regal was replaced in 2005 by the, also built on the W platform. The final 2004 Buick Regal rolled off the assembly line on June 1, 2004. Engines. 1997–2004 L L36 Series II. 1997–2004 L L67 Series II supercharged Regal LS and GS performance. The 3800 Series II L67 Supercharged engine in a 1998 GS The Regal LS from the factory had a 1/4 mile (400 m) elapsed time (ET) of 15.8 seconds and could do 0-60 mph in under 8 seconds.

The supercharged Regal GS had a 1/4 mile ET of 14.9 seconds, and acceleration to 60 mph (100 km/h) took 6.7 seconds. The Regal GS, equipped with the supercharged 3.8 liter V6 engine (L67) produced 240 hp (180 kW) & 280 lb⋅ft (380 N⋅m) of torque. The Regal GS's PCM has programming that activates torque management to reduce wheel spin at launch. The Regal LS was EPA rated at 19/30 MPG city/freeway while the supercharged Regal GS was EPA rated at 18/27 MPG city/freeway. Regal LSX and GSX (SLP Performance) SLP Performance offered dealer-installed options and dealer supplied accessories for both LS and GS models. The three power train packages, referred to as stages, added between 15-30 HP. Performance tires, handling and braking, and lowering options were offered along with interior and exterior cosmetic options.

Joseph Abboud Edition From 2001 to 2004 Buick offered a appearance package on both the GS and LS models. This package included either a solid or two-tone taupe/ leather seats, two-tone leather wrapped steering wheel, leather shifter handle and boot, 16' aluminum wheels; and Joseph Abboud signature emblems on the front doors, floor mats, front seat head rests, and taillights.

Buick Regal rear (China) General Motors and (SAIC) established a joint venture in 1997 called, and had begun assembling the Buick Regal in, in April 1999. The Regal has sold well in the Chinese market as a large, relatively luxurious model, despite its high price, costing more than the North American version. The Chinese market Regal has slightly different frontal sheetmetal compared to the North American version and different engines including the 2.0 L, the 2.5 L V6 and the 3.0 L V6. Gearbox choices were a 4 speed automatic for V6 models while four cylinder variants are paired with a 5 speed manual gearbox. V6 models had a set of black dashboard gauges while the four cylinder models had white dashboard gauges. These models also had slightly different names: the entry-level model was the New Century, with more upscale models carrying the GL and GLX names.

Later, G and GS models were added. Production for this generation ended in November 2008 in China being replaced the Opel Insignia based Regal. Buick Regal The fifth-generation Buick Regal is a four-door, five-passenger, with a layout. GM says that the Regal is helping General Motors attract new, younger customers to the Buick brand.

According to GM published information, more than 41% of Regal buyers in the US are coming from non-General Motors brands, and more than 60% of CXL Turbo buyers are under the age of 55. Development The fifth generation Buick Regal rides on GM's platform and is mostly identical to the. It first went into production in, Germany, in 2008. The twin of the Insignia was introduced in China as Buick Regal in December, 2008 for the 2009 model year. GM originally planned to sell a modified version of the Opel Insignia in North America as the second generation, but changed strategy after deciding to discontinue the brand.

The Regal utilizes construction with steel front fenders, hood, roof and door panels and (TPO) bumper covers. The North American Regal weighs about 13 pounds more than an equivalent Opel Insignia due to increased structural support in the necessary to meet U.S.

Marketing GM revealed the fifth generation Regal to North American dealers on October 14, 2009, and introduced the Regal to the public in November, 2009 at the. Sales of the Regal began in February 2010. In North America, the Regal is positioned below the larger, more expensive and above the compact sedan which debuted late in calendar year 2011. Production.

Chinese variant of the Regal Production of the variant of the Regal began in November 2008 and ended in July 2017. North American production at 's, assembly plant was confirmed on November 25, 2009, and production began at in February 2011. The initial production for the North American market was done together with its Opel twin the in the 's, Germany assembly plant from 1 March 2010 to 25 March 2011 (33,669 cars in 2010 and 12,637 in 2011).

Trim Levels CXL The Regal debuted in North America with a single engine, the 2.4L DOHC I4 engine and was rated at 182 hp (136 kW) and 172 pound-feet (233 N⋅m) of torque. The 2.4L engine is mated to a GM 6T45 six-speed The 2011 Regal produced in North America was offered in one trim level, called CXL, and was offered with two engine choices and seven option packages. Buick had planned to offer a lower-level trim called CX with cloth seats and a higher level trim called CXS, but those trim levels have not yet been offered.

CXL Turbo The CXL Turbo comes equipped with a 2.0L direct-injected DOHC I4 rated at 220 hp (164 kW) and 258 pound-feet (350 N⋅m) of torque, mated to either an 6-speed automatic or a 6-speed, making the Regal Turbo the first Buick model to be offered with a manual transmission since the ended production in 1989. The 2.0L turbo is the first direct-injected turbocharged production car capable of running on any blend of gasoline or E85 ethanol. 2011 Buick Regal GS At the 2010 in Detroit, GM showed a concept GS version of the Regal based on the Opel Insignia and the Vauxhall Insignia VXR. The concept featured a 2.0L, 270 hp (200 kW), 295 lb⋅ft (400 N⋅m) high-output DOHC I4 turbocharged Ecotec engine, a 6-speed manual transmission and all-wheel drive. The production GS leaves most of the concept specifications intact, but is front-wheel drive. The GS features Buick's Interactive Drive Control System with GS mode, a choice of an FGP Germany F40-6 six-speed manual or Aisin AF-40 (G2) six-speed automatic transmission, high performance brakes with Brembo front calipers and high performance strut (HiPerStrut) front suspension. 19 inch wheels will be standard and 20 inch forged aluminum wheels will be available.

The GS is expected to accelerate from zero to 60 miles per hour in under seven seconds. The production version is equipped with GS-only high-output version of the Ecotec 2.0L turbo engine with 270 hp (201 kW) and 295 lb⋅ft (400 N⋅m) of torque.
