New for 2014: Buick

Jeff Youngs | Sep 10, 2013

2014 Buick Overview

For Buick, 2014 is a year of evolution and not revolution. No new models join the lineup of sedans and crossovers, and significant changes are few in number.

That said, General Motors' entry premium brand didn't simply stick with the status quo. Updates for 2014 include the availability of forward-collision warning and lane-departure warning systems on every Buick model, an updated IntelliLink infotainment system, and new paint colors. The Verano gets standard heated front seats on most trim levels, while the Regal offers revised styling, a new turbocharged engine, optional all-wheel drive (AWD), and a redesigned suspension system. Buick is also introducing a freshened LaCrosse for 2014, with notable improvements that include new seats and an optional Ultra Luxury Interior package.

2014 Buick Enclave

Since it received a significant number of changes in 2013, the 2014 Buick Enclave returns with only a few updates. These include new safety features, rear charge-only USB ports, and an IntelliLink infotainment system that sends an alert when selected songs are played on satellite radio. Text-to-voice technology is also incorporated into the system.

What's New

Two rear-seat charge-only USB ports

2014 Buick Encore

Introduced in 2013, the Buick Encore small crossover greets the 2014 model year with a new blind-spot monitoring system and updated IntelliLink infotainment system. Available in front-wheel-drive (FWD) or AWD form, the 2014 Encore is equipped with a turbocharged, 1.4-liter 4-cylinder engine that delivers an EPA-estimated 33 mpg on the highway. Buyers have the choice of four trim levels.

Regal Turbo and GS variants share the power plant and, for the first time, output ratings (the 2013 Regal Turbo delivered 220 horsepower, while the Regal GS delivered 270 horsepower). According to Buick, Regal drivers can expect to average up to 31 mpg on the highway.
