The Verano and Excelle GT are based on the GM Delta II global compact platform that underpins the Cruze and the Opel Astra. A version of the Verano went into production earlier this year in China, where it is sold as the Buick Excelle GT. Pricing has not yet been announced on Verano, but GM said earlier that the car will be priced between $21,000 and $26,000. It is equipped with standard 17-inch forged alloy wheels; two 18-inch wheel designs are available.
The Verano, which slots into the Buick lineup below the Regal, will also feature standard antilock brakes, traction control, electronic stability control and 10 standard airbags. More recently, the GM brand salvaged the portholes to appear on the 2006 Buick Lucerne. They date back to 1949 and such cars as the 1949 Buick Super Model 56C convertible coupe. Portholes have resurfaced recently as a Buick styling cue. Exterior design cues on the Verano include a black chrome waterfall grille, blue translucent projector-beam headlamps, chrome accents and portholes.
