- For today's unboxing review we bring you the 2016 Buick Verano, a premium compact sedan that's also a great bargain. First launched for the 2012 model year, the Verano has had only a few slight changes over the years, but it helped Buick get back on track in the wake of GM's bankruptcy. At the time of its debut, it was the right car at the right time. However, the Verano will soon be discontinued without a direct successor. It's not because the Verano is a bad car, but because buyers today are more interested in crossovers than sedans. Consider the Verano a victim of the Encore, in a way. But there's still a lot to like about the Verano, especially its very nice interior.
Power comes from a decent but not great 2.4-liter four-cylinder with 180 hp and 171 lb-ft of torque (the optional 2.0 turbo four with 250 ponies has been dropped). Power goes to the front wheels through a six-speed automatic transmission. Our mid-range Sport Touring tester was nicely equipped, especially given its $25,385 price. Do a quick comparison and you'll see that's several thousand dollars less than, say, the Acura ILX, which is this car's most direct competitor. Combined with a 5-star overall US government crash test rating, the Verano is a solid buy. Enjoy the review!

I actually really like that this car still has buttons and knobs. More electronics in the car the more shit breaks
Got a 2016 Crystal Red, 180 hp *LOVE IT!!!* 😁😎
I'm actually looking at a used model of this to buy right now. It only has 20,000 mile's on it, one owner and mint condition w/ full warranty for under 14,000.00. I'm a sedan girl myself and we've had many Buicks. They've never let us down honestly. I'll probably buy it :) I rarely have anyone in the backseat as we are empty nester's now so room is not an issue for us.
Audrey Chagnon what type of gas it use? Does it use premium or regular?
@@eddie-nc8gu I bought a Sport T model last year , white with grey interior, has navigation, heated seats runs on reg gas, no turbo, but took it on 3 trips, live in NorCal and drove to Yosemite , Palm Springs, Southern Oregon 3 different trips never had a issue over mountains . I like the fact I have a key and I like the buttons, was looking for a Cadillac ATS and couldn't find one with low miles in my price range so I started looking at Verano's and found this one at a local used car dealer with 20K on it and on special for $14,495. So far I have put 10K on it this last year, its a nice car, Im happy with it.
Califdad just bought one yesterday 20k miles turbo. Went through the manual and the turbo required premium gasoline. No biggie. Just wanted what was best for the car. My only complaint is the stereo is a little out of my reach. Other then that it’s a great ride!! Traded in the Altima.
@@eddie-nc8gu Im real happy with mine, it does ride like a larger car. When I was looking last year, I didn't see any turbos, but figured for most my driving , i didn't really need it. Its a nice car, ran great on my trips
Thank you for this video!!
I HAVE A 2015 VERANO AND LOVE IT. NICE CAR, ULTRA QUIET.... 36 MPG HWY. MORE THAN ADVERTISED.
Really? 36 mpg highway. That's solid. And yeah, the Verano is a very nice car and it's a shame that it won't be replaced by a 2nd gen model.
Jeffrey Finn I sat in a Buick Verano awhile ago and I have to say those seats were probably the most comfortable seats that I have ever sat in.
@@jennaduvall2060 What about the back seat and the knee space?
D D don’t know about those, did not sit in those seats. I was just referencing the front seats
@@CRRoper1 Seats are comfy BUT if you are tall the driver/front seat passenger might have to compromise their leg room. I drive for Uber and always ask tall ppl to sit on the other side.
Down fall about crossovers though is that they are getting smaller, which is a contradiction to auto manufacturers marketing strategy. Crossovers are getting smaller as well as the engines. I think in the future crossovers will diminsh and sedans will return. Crossover will keep getting smaller to the point you will almost miss the space in the sedan,
Can you explain what is a "crossover" exactly? I thought they were referring to Hybrids or all electric vehicles.
I would like to know myself
I have 2014 turbo and my city driving is 15 mpg on a good day but can get 34 on highway. Very quiet car!
germanshepherd13 15mpg? I get 24 mpg in the city
Mine's a 2012
14 mpg ?? That’s awful
15!!! Sounds like a guzzler!
Some dealers still have 2016 turbos in stock. I bought one two weeks ago. I got a great deal on it.
DrMarkMadScientist how much if you don't mind saying
DrMark. I got a 2013 turbo... how u liking it? :)
Really, how much.I have the same exact 1 n the video
Anyone know if there's much difference in hp for the turbo?
Sorry, I didn't realize I had replies to my comment until today. I still have the Verano. I am happy with it. I haven't had one issue with it so far. I think I paid around $25k for it, which was $8k below the MSRP. The turbo has 250hp and the non-turbo has 180hp. I haven't driven a non-turbo, but the turbo is supposed to be quite a bit more powerful and quiet versus the regular version.
I'm about to look at a 2017 Verano, no turbo available. It has 76k miles. Asking price 7100 dollars. Looks like a bargain to me. The color on the vid. In 2024, would it be a good purchase, thoughts???
Some websites say the turbo engine requires premium gas . Some say regular. Which is it?
I have a friend with an MA in mechanical engineering. He told me the most important things you can do to prevent expensive repairs with any vehicle, is frequent oil changes and premium gas. Those two things continually run through the machine at high heats. It's like good nutrition and exercise keeping us healthy.
It’s really a premium model, as opposed to luxury, there's a 2nd gen Verano, already on sale in China, funny Acura will continue to sale the ILX and Mercedes is supposedly working on adding an A Class sedan to the CLA, GLA and other A Class models in the lineup, thus give Mercedes 2 subcompact/compact fwd model sedans, it's rumored to be slightly larger than the CLA, guessing a more tradition sedan vs the CLA coupe profile, Buick saw a way to make more money, not mad at them, just look at the starting price for the Verano ($21,065) vs the Envision ($34,065), note the Envision is a fwd compact CUV based off the new gen Cruze (and China Verano) platform, they could offer it if they really wanted too, Chevy offers the new gen Cruze and have the upcoming Equinox both on the same platform, Chevy also offers the Malibu and Cruze, there's room for Buick too offer both the next gen Verano and Regal, yes, a great number of customers want CUVs/SUVs, but there are still customers that want sedan, go figure
Yes still eager customers but not enough to affect Buick/China's bottom line. As mentioned no one really considers the Buick a luxury class say like Cadillac or the foreign luxury cars. IDC bc that means I pay a lot less all the way around and still get that "luxury" experience. Trust me when you wreck that caddy the luxury goes out the window!
Can it pull a trail??
I love my vereno
So this or a 2016 acura ilx?
Get the Verano, only thing Acura is better in, is gas mileage - but you need Premium, which costs much more
I just got a used 2016 for 19,000 with tax about 22,000 only had 6995 miles on it. I got a great deal.
@Terrell Jones, I bought a 2016 Verano n Toledo back in September 2019 w/35,000 miles& I only paid $12,000 & some change w/ taxes
@@angelaburrell7476 you got a great deal 👍
For a used one I got it at 9500 talked them down 1500 since the miles were at 60,000 miles hopefully I didn't over pay
@Zai what year is your car?
