2015 Buick Verano review

1. Luxury finishing 

For sheer sensory indulgence, the 2015 Verano does not disappoint. Soft-touch surfaces, wood-tone accents, and premium finish upholstery are all standard. Rich colorway shades in Cashmere, Titanium, or Ebony imbue a quiet luxury that permeates the whole cabin. A hushed demeanor completes this sensory interior experience thanks to Buick’s noise-dampening technology 

2. Two great engine options 

For touring the neighborhood or completing your daily commute, the 2015 Verano standard engine will suit you well. This 2.4L four-cylinder engine generates 180 hp and is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. Want to take a trip out of town? This engine gets a pleasing EPA-estimated 31 mpg on the highway.

For dynamic cornering and peppy acceleration, choose the available turbocharged 2.0L powertrain for 250 hp and the choice of a six-speed automatic or manual transmission. 

3. Tech features 

A long list of standard tech features means even the base trim of the 2015 Verano feels fully loaded. The 2015 base trim gets Bluetooth^® hands-free phone and audio connectivity, an available OnStar^® Wi-Fi hotspot, a seven-inch touchscreen, CD player, and a six-speaker audio system all as standard.

An upgraded nine-speaker Bose^® premium audio system is available with the Leather Group Verano trim. 

4. Interior dimensions 

For a compact sedan, the 2015 Verano does feel very spacious. With seating for five across two rows, you and your crew can take off for the weekend in comfort. Throw your bags into the Verano’s 14.3-cu-ft trunk, and you’ll still have room for any boutique purchases made on your trip. Passengers up front get deep-fill bucket seats with 42.0 inches of legroom, while your rear-row crew gets an agreeable 34.7 inches.  

5. Premium Turbo Group trim 

This demure compact luxury sedan does have some bite, and that's to be found on the Premium Turbo Group trim model. In addition to gaining the 2015 Verano's turbocharged 2.0L engine, You'll also get a tasty trio of accent features. To visually complement the turbo power, this trim also includes a dual exhaust with chrome tips, a rear spoiler, and aluminum sport pedals.
