2016 Buick Verano first view
Buick has unveiled an all-new second-generation Verano at the Auto Shanghai motor show. A mid-size saloon, it’s set to join the rather similar Excelle GT in the brand’s Chinese range.
The Verano’s styling, which has been inspired by the Riviera and Avenir concepts, features ‘double-sweep’ swage lines along the flanks and a very shallow rear screen angle.
For the Chinese market, where the Verano is going to be known as the Wei Lang, power will come from a 1.5 litre Ecotec turbocharged petrol engine.
Developing 166 bhp (124 kW / 168 PS) with 250 Nm (184 lb/ft) of peak torque, it’s mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. Average fuel consumption from that combination is a claimed 46.3 mpg (6.1 l/100km), but performance figures haven’t been released yet.
A North American version of the latest Verano is expected to be announced soon.
