What is the Buick Verano?

The Verano was a compact four-door sedan that brought Buick into the smaller-car segment in North America. Sold for model years 2012–2017, it sat below the brand’s larger sedans and offered a more compact footprint for everyday driving. Buick described it as a small sedan in Canada, and the model brought the brand’s passenger-car approach to a smaller format.

The North American Verano had one generation, sold from 2012 to 2017. It used GM’s Delta II platform and kept a conventional sedan layout throughout its run. Petrol engines ranged from 2.0 L to 2.4 L, and the lineup also included flex-fuel E85 versions.
