We cover the Regal from 2000 to 2020. Early cars use the 3.8-liter V6, with a supercharged version in the GS. The 2011 to 2017 Regal uses 2.4-liter and 2.0-liter turbo engines. The 2018 to 2020 Regal Sportback and TourX use a 2.0 turbo with an 8- or 9-speed automatic and available AWD.

Model year 2018 is part of the sixth-generation Regal (2018–2020). It is the first model year of this generation: the platform, wiring and many procedures changed compared with the previous model, so a manual for an earlier year will not match it.
Check the model year on your VIN: on a 2018 vehicle the 10th character of the 17-digit VIN is “J”. Vehicles built for North America always carry the model year in that position; on some European or Australian vehicles it may be left unused, so in that case go by the registration papers or the build plate.
At about 8 years old, a 2018 vehicle is usually past its basic warranty. Typical jobs at this age are brakes, suspension parts, fluids, the 12V battery and diagnosing sensor faults with the factory wiring diagrams.
Same generation: 2019 Buick Regal, 2020 Buick Regal.
