The Buick Verano is a compact car that was built from 2011 by the American manufacturer General Motors (GM) in the USA at GM's Orion plant in Michigan until 2016 and is built by GM's joint venture SAIC-GM in China. With the Verano, Buick expanded its range to include a smaller model. Like the Buick Regal launched a year earlier , which is based on the Opel Insignia , it showed a clear trend towards smaller cars in the USA too. The last time Buick offered a car of comparable size was the Buick Skyhawk in the 1980s .

The first generation of the Buick Verano was presented a little before the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) 2011, its formal premiere then took place at this vehicle fair.

The first-generation vehicle is based on the Delta platform and is related to the notchback sedan of the Opel Astra J and (like this one) in a broader sense also to the Chevrolet Cruze J300 and the minivans Opel Zafira Tourer and Chevrolet Orlando .

The first generation Verano was only available with four doors and a notchback. There were two four-cylinder engines to choose from: a 2384 cm³ naturally aspirated engine was standard , and a 1998 cm³ turbo engine was available for an additional charge , which, thanks to the supercharging, delivers the higher output despite the smaller displacement.

First generation production at GM's Orion plant was discontinued in October 2016. The sale took place until spring 2017. The second generation of the Verano is only offered in China, but not in North America.
