Ease into Verano’s comfortable and supportive driver’s seat and everything you see and touch contributes to an impression of extraordinary luxury. So does everything you hear – or rather, everything you don’t hear. The Verano team took Buick’s renowned QuietTuning® techniques to new heights, with components like triple-sealed doors, dual-density carpets and a headliner made with no fewer than five layers of acoustic insulation material. The end product is a cabin that’s been described as library-quiet – even recording-studio-quiet. It’s a noisy world. Don’t you deserve a mobile sanctuary?
Design-wise, the new Verano is all about harmony and refinement. The lines flow in graceful, well-controlled curves from the black-chrome waterfall grille all the way to the sculpted rear bumper, and the coupe-like arch of the roof adds a sense of style and drama that's rarely found in a four-door car. There's also a story behind Verano's superb paint finish. It's applied via a leading-edge process that delivers an exceptional, long-lasting shine.
The sense of space you enjoy inside Verano is no illusion. In fact, there's more overall passenger volume room here than you'll find in either the Lexus IS 350 or the Acura TSX.* Thanks to 1,000 hours of painstaking development, the seats are exceptionally comfortable and supportive. Then there's the impressive quality of the materials used to trim the cabin. Wherever you look you'll find warm wood tones, gleaming metallic accents, ribbon fabrics and, if you wish, seating surfaces upholstered with an unusually fine grade of leather.
Verano's available Buick IntelliLink™ connected radio system puts a whole new generation of infotainment and communications technologies at your service. It includes Bluetooth®wireless audio streaming, a USB port, XM Satellite Radio™** and a 178 mm (7 inch) full-colour high-definition touch-screen display, and that's just the beginning. Link it to your smartphone and you can stream signals from sources like Stitcher™ Smart Radio and use simple voice commands to initiate phone calls, select radio stations and much more. You'll wonder how you ever drove without it.
