📖Generation guide
Single Generation • 2018-2020
The Regal TourX, a unique entrant in the wagon segment, features AWD and a powerful 2.0T engine, crafted for a lifestyle-driven audience and discontinued after 2020.
Known issues by generation
While the Regal TourX is celebrated for its design and functionality, certain model-specific issues should be noted. Common complaints include the wastegate and PCV problems associated with the A20NHT 2.0T turbo engine. Additionally, the GM 9T50 9-speed automatic transmission has been reported to have shift-quality concerns. Owners may also experience bugs with the OnStar and IntelliLink systems, particularly in relation to CarPlay. It's important to pay attention to the Haldex AWD fluid-service intervals to maintain optimal performance, as well as being aware of potential paint defects and wheel-bearing wear that have been recorded in early models.
Donation value by condition + generation
The donation value of a Buick Regal TourX can vary significantly based on its condition, drivetrain, and trim level. AWD models generally attract a higher value than their FWD counterparts, especially when considering the lifted-estate body style that appeals to many outdoor enthusiasts. The trim ladder—Preferred, Essence, and Avenir—also plays a role, with higher trims offering more value, particularly those equipped with features that complement an active lifestyle. Given the current collector interest in discontinued nameplates, well-maintained low-mileage examples could potentially qualify for Form 8283 Section B appraisals, placing them in the $5,000 value range or above.
