Buick Verano
The smallest sedan in Buick's line-up is also their most popular model, featuring an 180-horsepower, 2.4-litre 4-cylinder engine or a 250-horsepower, 2.0-litre turbo and a choice of manual and automatic transmissions. The compact Verano offers a hushed cockpit, thanks to Buick's QuietTuning noise reduction techniques, while features such as leather upholstery, a heated steering wheel, onboard Wi-Fi, IntelliLink infotainment and a Bose nine-speaker stereo are available. A Sport Touring edition with unique styling cues has been added for 2016.
