You'll notice that the Stinger's price is higher than that of the Regal Sportback, but that is for good reason. The Stinger comes with more base features and a much stronger engine options list. The Stinger GT comes with a 3.3L V6 engine that roars with 365 horsepower, while Buick's counterpart tops out at just 250 horsepower. The base Stinger has a rear wheel drivetrain, while the base Regal Sportback comes in front wheel drive.
Some other great base features included on the Stinger are Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, voice recognition, parking distance warning, and leather-trimmed seating. The Stinger can also hold more than 40 cubic feet of cargo and has a passenger volume of 94 cubic feet, so you won't ever feel too cramped.
