As you know, the first generation Buick Regal was manufactured in 1973, with nearly 50 years of development, total six generation Buick Regal with different bodies such as 2-door coupe, 4-door sedan and 5-door sportback were manufactured worldwide. In 2017, the 6th generation 2018 Buick Regal was introduced at the GM Design Dome in Warren, Michigan and began to sell in China in the same year.
In addition to common 4-door sedan, new body including Regal Sportback and Regal TourX were released in the 6th generation Regal. the Regal Sportback is a fastback 5-door liftback sedan and he Regal TourX is a 5-door station wagon.
With the release of the 6th generation Buick Regal, its related diecast model was manufactured too, it is a 1/18 scale model for collection, however different with common 1/18 diecast models, there are some unusual functions.
It is a chargeable model, and you can recharge the model easily via USB. With the power of battery, this Regal can be controlled by bluetooth after you install the APP on phone, for example, front and rear lights can be turned on or off, car window can be up and down flexibly, car model go forward or backward smoothly, and It’s been amazing that car model will stop automatically if there are some barriers in front. In my opinion, it is not only a model for collection, but also a car toy for playing.
Buick Regal for North America market will be discontinued after the 2020 model year, however, SAIC-GM continues to produce new standard Regal and Regal GS in China, and I hope more related new generation Buick Regal diecast model will be manufactured to meet collectors’ needs.
