Buick Verano

Buick’s never-ending quest for young buyers has spawned the Verano, an entry-luxury compact sedan that mixes typical Buick tranquility and poise with a bit of fun. A 180-hp, 2.4-liter four-cylinder powers the Verano, but those looking for extra power can opt for the Verano Turbo with a 250-hp, 2.0-liter turbocharged four. A six-speed automatic is standard on both, but the Turbo offers an optional six-speed manual. Alas, even when turbocharged, luxury is still the priority over true sportiness.
