Efficient, high-output turbocharged engine
The Regal GS turbo delivers the responsiveness and acceleration of a V-6 with the fuel
economy of a 2.0L four-cylinder engine. EPA-estimated fuel economy is 27 mpg on the
highway with the standard six-speed automatic transmission.
Power for the Regal GS comes from a high-output version of the Ecotec 2.0L
turbocharged dual overhead cam engine with continuously variable valve timing and
direct-injection technology.
The Regal GS is rated at 270 horsepower (201 kW) and 295 lb.-ft. of torque (400 Nm).
Peak torque is achieved at a relatively low 2400 rpm; 95 percent of peak torque is
available between 2,300 and 4,900 rpm.
Direct injection technology helps the engine deliver more power through increased
efficiency, while maintaining fuel economy and lowering emissions. That means less fuel
is consumed and lower emissions generated – including a 25-percent drop in cold-start
hydrocarbon emissions. Variable valve timing optimizes power, efficiency and emissions
across the entire rpm band.
A six-speed automatic transmission with driver shift control is standard on the Regal GS
and a six-speed manual transmission is available.
