The Buick Regal TourX, produced between 2018 and 2020, represents a rare breed of wagon in the U.S. market, combining the practicality of an SUV with the elegance of a lifted estate. In South Carolina, these vehicles have become a popular choice for those who value versatility and a distinctive aesthetic. As Buick’s last hurrah in the wagon segment, the TourX resonates deeply with loyalists who appreciate the space, comfort, and performance it offers.
As a rare model with only three years of production, the Regal TourX has gained a cult following among collectors and wagon enthusiasts alike. Owners often equip them with roof racks for outdoor adventures, a testament to the lively lifestyle they promote. The combination of a powerful 250hp 2.0T engine with standard Haldex AWD makes the TourX an appealing option for those navigating South Carolina's diverse terrain, and its increasing collector status further highlights its desirability.
