2015 Verano

CG Says: Buick’s premium compact car sees no major changes for 2015. The OnStar communications system adds 4G LTE Internet connectivity with a Wi-Fi hotspot (a three-month trial period is included), and an appearance package with a rear spoiler and a silver/bright chrome grille is available on all but the Turbo model. Verano occupies an interesting middle ground between popular- and premium-brand compact sedans. It’s comfortable, handsomely finished, well equipped, and delivers a convincingly upscale driving experience. The 2.4-liter models offer the strongest value; they can significantly undercut the prices of premium-compact rivals. The pricier Turbo offers welcome additional power, albeit with a slight hit to fuel economy.
