COMPETITIVE COMPARISON
2014 BUICK REGAL VS. VOLKSWAGEN CC
• More torque. Regal GS puts out 30
more lb.-ft. of torque (295 vs. 265) than
Volkswagen CC.
• Better fuel economy. Regal GS Turbo
AWD has superior fuel economy for both
city and highway driving (19/27 vs.
17/25 mpg).
• Better handling. The Regal GS includes
the HiPer Strut front suspension that
provides more assertive handling,
the Continuously Real-Time Damping
Suspension that responds to road inputs
in milliseconds and standard 19" wheels.
The Volkswagen CC does not offer these
enhanced handling features and rides on
smaller standard 18" wheels.
• Advanced Sport Handling. Regal GS
features 3-mode Interactive Drive Control
that allows the driver to adjust suspension
and steering response for enhanced
ride and handling. The Volkswagen CC
suspension has no comparable feature.
