Buick Regal TourX 2020 Review

If you're not attached to the high seating position of a crossover SUV but you like the idea of having SUV-like cargo space — in other words, if you're a little eccentric — then you'll probably love the 2020 Buick Regal TourX. It, too, is a little eccentric.

The TourX's biggest strength is the massive size of its cargo hold. It outsizes what you get from a lot of SUVs as well as European luxury wagons such as the Mercedes-Benz E-Class. Other advantages include affordable pricing and a modest but classy interior design.

With standard all-wheel drive, Buick's Regal TourX is a great all-weather vehicle. But if your driving requires even moderate off-road use, the TourX isn't the best choice. It's slightly lifted, but taking on a smooth dirt road is probably the extent of its off-road capability. And though its cargo space is massive, space for passengers is only on par with most midsize sedans.

The Subaru Outback is the obvious rival to the TourX. The fully redesigned 2020 model is more capable off-road than the Regal, and it offers a new, more powerful turbocharged engine. We prefer the Outback to the Regal with all aspects considered, but the Regal is still worth checking out, especially if you can get a great deal.
