The IntelliLink system’s eight-inch-diagonal color touch screen also serves as the
display for the standard rearview camera system and available navigation system,
as well as the controller for Regal’s audio system.
Complementing IntelliLink to enhance Regal’s connectivity is new OnStar with 4G
LTE and standard built-in Wi-Fi hotspot. It provides a mobile hub for drivers and
passengers to stay connected. The hotspot is on whenever the vehicle is on and
comes with a three-month/three-gigabyte data trial, after which customers can
purchase additional data.
4G LTE is the most current and fastest mobile data network – 10 times faster than
3G and 100 times faster than the previous generation of OnStar hardware. And
with OnStar, it also offers stronger, broader coverage than smartphones on the
same network and it’s easy to use: If the vehicle is on, the connection is on.
At the time of purchase, six months OnStar Directions and Connections includes all
of OnStar’s advisor-based safety and security features, including Automatic Crash
Response and Stolen Vehicle Assistance, as well as turn-by-turn navigation.
Five years of OnStar Basic Plan includes RemoteLink Key Fob Services, allowing
owners to remotely start and lock/unlock a car (if properly equipped), and activate
the horn and lights from anywhere with a data connection. It also includes OnStar
Vehicle Diagnostics, which runs monthly checks of a vehicle’s engine, transmission,
anti-lock brakes and more, and Dealer Maintenance Notification, which sends a
diagnostic report directly to a preferred dealer to simplify service scheduling.
Refined, efficient powertrains
Regals is equipped with a choice of two efficient engines: the standard 2.0L turbo
four-cylinder engine rated at 259 horsepower (193 kW) and a 2.4L four-cylinder
engine with eAssist light electrification technology, rated at 182 horsepower (136
kW)).
The eAssist powertrain uses a lithium-ion battery system and electric motor-
generator to enable regenerative braking capability. Instead of providing all-electric
propulsion, the system provides power assistance to the internal combustion
engine. The eAssist system also allows the engine to shut down fuel delivery in
certain deceleration situations, or at a stop, which saves additional fuel.
Regal with eAssist is EPA-rated at 25 mpg in the city and 36 mpg on the highway.
