2011-Buick-Regal

Back in ‘05 The Regal was replaced by Buick LaCrosse. The last 2004 Buick Regal came off the assembly line on June 1, 2004. According to Jalopnik: Now it would appear it’ll be back and as we told you back in August when Lutz let slip this tasty piece of news to Scott Burgess of The Detroit News, it’ll be the same as was launched in China in November 2008 based on the Opel Insignia.

Thanks Jalopnik!

It’s the first mainstream hybrid to hit China, and Shanghai GM officials chose the LaCrosse (LaCrosse Eco-Hybrid as it’s being touted) because of its popularity throughout the country.

Buick LaCrosse Hybrid

The hybrid systems is the same used in U. S. Malibu and Saturn Aura hybrid vehicles. The LaCrosse hybrid achieves fuel efficiency 15% better than the non-hybrid LaCrosse available in China and with 15% lower emissions. No official price has been released for the Chinese hybrids, but expect it to be more than the conventional model.

Buick is not alone in the GM-China alternative fuel market. Cadillac’s Escalade will be available in hybrid next year. China will also be one of the first major markets to sell the Chevrolet Volt, some time in 2010. Cadillac’s Provoq will also hit China, which seems to be Caddy’s equivalent to the Volt. GM execs hope to turn China into a massive green vehicle market. As for the North American market – sadly, GM does not expect to release a hybrid LaCrosse in the states.
