The EPA has yet to rate the Verano, but the sedan is expected to return an estimated 31 mpg on the highway. Buick claims the standard engine in the Verano gets the car from zero to 60 mph in 8.0 seconds. A 2.0-liter turbo engine will be offered on Verano in the future, it said, but gave no technical specifications. The automaker also uses the 2.4-liter engine on such mainstays as the Chevrolet Malibu.
GM said the Verano an upscale companion to the Chevrolet Cruze, will get a standard 177-horsepower 2.4-liter engine when it debuts late next year. The Verano, which targets smaller offerings from Lexus and Audi, will be officially unveiled at the 2011 Detroit Auto Show. DETROIT GM has turned to the tried-and-true with its 2012 Buick Verano, showing off a compact sedan with the automaker's familiar Ecotec 2.4-liter four cylinder engine and such longtime Buick touches as portholes.
