ACCELERATION
| GS | LS | Class Average |
|---|---|---|
| 7 | 6 | 4.7 |
Both Regals feel strong, but in our tests the GS went 0-60 mph in 6.9 seconds, about a second quicker than the LS.
FUEL ECONOMY
| GS | LS | Class Average |
|---|---|---|
| 5 | 5 | 5.4 |
The GS demands premium fuel, but is not much thirstier than the LS, averaging between 16.9 mpg and 20.1 in our tests.
RIDE QUALITY
| GS | LS | Class Average |
|---|---|---|
| 6 | 6 | 5 |
Controlled and comfortable. The LS's base suspension rides and handles nearly as well as the GS's Gran Touring setup.
STEERING/HANDLING/BRAKING
| GS | LS | Class Average |
|---|---|---|
| 6 | 5 | 5 |
Not as agile as most European sport sedans, but controlled and well-balanced. The GS/GSE suffers torque steer in hard takeoffs.
QUIETNESS
| GS | LS | Class Average |
|---|---|---|
| 6 | 6 | 5 |
Quiet overall, except for some wind and road noise at highway speeds.
CONTROLS
| GS | LS | Class Average |
|---|---|---|
| 5 | 5 | 6 |
The climate controls are too complex, but most gauges and switches are legible and well-placed.
ROOM/COMFORT/DRIVER SEATING (FRONT)
| GS | LS | Class Average |
|---|---|---|
| 5 | 5 | 5.2 |
Adults aren't squeezed, but shorter people might feel confined by the tall dashboard.
ROOM/COMFORT (REAR)
| GS | LS | Class Average |
|---|---|---|
| 4 | 4 | 4.1 |
Sufficient head and leg room for larger passengers, but shoulder room is tight for three adults.
CARGO ROOM
| GS | LS | Class Average |
|---|---|---|
| 4 | 5 | 4.5 |
The trunklid opens wide, and its hinges don't intrude into the load space, but there's a wide bumper shelf to stretch over.
VALUE WITHIN CLASS
| GS | LS | Class Average |
|---|---|---|
| 5 | 5 | 5.3 |
Regal is solid, competitively priced, and well-equipped, but falls just short of the cohesive feel that earns the Intrigue and Grand Prix our Recommended label.
Total Score
| GS | LS | Class Average |
|---|---|---|
| 53 | 52 | 50.2 |
Total Score: 53
