Buick Verano brings luxury, technology, sophistication, craftsmanship and responsive performance to the growing market for premium compact sedans.

Verano seats up to five and is available in four models for 2013 -- the generously equipped base Verano (1SD) and uplevel Convenience (1SG), Leather (1SL) and Verano Turbo (Premium 1ST group).

Buick Verano's standard Ecotec 2.4L direct-injected four-cylinder engine and six-speed automatic powertrain combination deliver refined, responsive performance. The engine is rated at 180 horsepower and accelerates from 0-60 mph in 8.6 seconds.

The 2013 Buick Verano provides a premium level of standard equipment for the segment -- such as an available heated steering wheel. Buick's easy-to-use IntelliLink radio is now also available in combination with GPS-enabled navigation for 2013.

Verano sports the Buick design cues. An arching roofline connects a steeply raked windshield and fast-sloping rear pillars to give the car a sporty and elegant profile. Strokes of chrome accent Verano, along with signature features such as a black chrome waterfall grille and portholes.

The 2013 Verano rides on 18-inch forged alloy, machine face, silver-finish wheels. Verano's interior is marked by exceptional seat comfort and support, as well as premium, soft-touch materials. Metallic and wood trims and warm ambient lighting make the cabin an inviting environment.
