Buick Verano Model Years and History

For 2017, the Buick Verano carries over from last year, though the trim offerings have been simplified to just three, and the 2.0L turbocharged engine has been discontinued.

For 2016, the Buick Verano carries over from last year. Three new colors are available for 2016, Crystal Red Tintcoat, Ebony Twilight Metallic and Graphite Gray Metallic.

For 2015, the Buick Verano carries over mostly unchanged, but does offer a new in-car Wi-Fi system as standard equipment.

For 2014, the Buick Verano adds a few new features and updates others. An available Forward Collision Alert and a Lane Departure Warning system are new. A 3-channel Universal Home Remote is also new and standard on Convenience, Leather and Turbo models, as are heated front seats. IntelliLink is updated with text message support, Siri Eyes-Free and voice recognition. Smoky Gray Metallic exterior paint joins the color palette, replacing Cyber Gray Metallic.

For 2013, the Buick Verano Turbo joins the Verano lineup. Featuring a 250-horsepower turbocharged 2.0L 4-cylinder engine, the Verano Turbo offers improved performance and has a dual exhaust and various other upgrades. On all 2013 Verano models--even those with the navigation system--the Buick Intellilink connectivity and infotainment system is now included, as is a rearview camera system. Also, models with the Convenience, Leather and Premium option groups now include Side Blind Zone Alert and Cross-Traffic Alert. Also, the buttons for OnStar have been given a new look, and Luxo Blue Metallic and Carbon Black Metallic

The Buick Verano is an all-new model for 2012. As a compact luxury sedan which shares a platform with the Chevrolet Cruze, it slots in below the Regal as Buick's smallest offering. Power comes from a 177-hp 2.4L 4-cylinder engine, and the Verano is EPA estimated to achieve around 22 mpg city, 31 mpg highway. Luxury abounds inside, as do superior noise reduction materials, and the new Verano is one of the quietest cars on the road. Pricing starts at under $23,000.
