2016 BUICK VERANO: The 2016 Buick Verano compact four-door luxury sedans come with front-wheel drive and in five trim levels: 1SV, Verano 1SD, Convenience (1SG), Leather (1SL) and Verano Turbo (1ST). An 180-horsepower, Ecotec 2.4-liter direct injected four is standard, while the available 2.0L turbo four-cylinder delivers 250 horses, and increases the performance of an already capable, responsive luxury sedan. Both powerplants come with standard, fuel-saving, six-speed automatic with Driver Shift Control. A six-speed manual transmission is available with the turbo. Maximum trailer towing is rated at 1000-lbs. The five-passenger interior is marked by seat comfort and support, rich leathers, warm woods, metallic accents and ice blue ambient lighting. All Verano models carry Buick design cues, including the arching roofline, black chrome waterfall grille, and signature portholes. The Verano Turbo is distinguished by dual exhaust, sport pedals, rear spoiler, heated leather seating and steering wheel, premium nine-speaker Bose audio system, and other premium features. A rearview camera is standard on all models, as is Intellilink that can connect the driver's smartphone - via voice activation and steering wheel-mounted controls -to a high-resolution, full-color seven-inch-diagonal color touch-screen display radio. The driver confidence package for 2016 adds forward collision alert, lane departure warning, side blind zone, alert and rear cross traffic alert safety features. Three new exterior colors include Crystal Red tint coat, Ebony Twilight, and Graphite Gray metallic. An eight-way power adjustable driver's seat and heated steering wheel are standard on some models. For shopping or traveling, the Verano provides 15.2 cu. ft. of cargo room in the tailored trunk.
