2016 Buick Verano Spy Photos: Aerodynamics Trump Machismo - Car and Driver
Buick’s quest for young buyers has spawned the Verano, which mixes typical Buick tranquility and poise with modern features and tech (including 4G LTE and standard in-car Wi-Fi) along with a bit of fun. A 180-hp, 2. 4-liter four-cylinder powers the Verano, but those looking for extra umph can opt for the Verano Turbo with a 250-hp, 2. 0-liter turbocharged four. Future Cars – 2016 Buick Verano Spy Photos What It Is: The next generation of Buick’s Chevy Cruze –based Verano compact sedan , caught in Europe wearing German license plates. From the looks of this prototype, the next-gen Verano sits behind the next Cruze on the development schedule, as the Chevy has already debuted in its Chinese-market form. It’s possible that, like the Cruze, the Verano will look different in the Chinese and U. S. markets, and that we’ve spied the Asian version here. Either way, here’s what we can tell about this prototype: Aerodynamics clearly trumped machismo, with the roofline following the industry trend toward longer, flatter front and rear glass, outstretched C-pillars, and ever-shorter trunklids. The rear quarter-panels and doors on this prototype adopt Buick’s trademark haunch, while the tall rear end is ever-so-slightly ducktailed and features dual trapezoidal exhaust finishers set inside a dark lower bumper graphic. We can also see that this vehicle has a dual-pane moonroof, leading us to believe that the feature will probably also be offered on the Cruze. Source: www.caranddriver.com
