It seems the 2016 Buick Verano is going to look at least slightly different from the Buick Excelle GT offered in the Chinese market. While the Buick Excelle GT enjoys a successful launch, the forthcoming Verano will wait until the Shanghai Auto Show next month for a full unveiling.
The report from Car News China mentions the Verano will be positioned between the Excelle GT and Regal, creating a stepping stone between the two, but we don’t find much credibility in this statement. Instead, since the nameplate is a new one, we see this more as a stepping stone to the Excelle GT over anything.
The front features sharpened styling, and the rear foregoes the angry-slanted taillamps with chrome strip, as seen on the North American model. Instead, attractive wedge shaped tailights are used for a cleaner look. Altogether, the styling is move in the right direction, where the North American model is beginning to look a tad stale.
We’re not sure if the design of the Chinese Verano will look the same as the North American model when it eventually shows itself in the future. But what we do know is that the car will ride on General Motors’ D2XX platform, which will also underpin the upcoming North American Chevrolet Cruze, due to be revealed some time in 2015 for the 2016 model year.

The two new Chinese offerings look the same to me.
Chinese site somewhere I saw a very good comparison exelle GT vs verano 2016 with pictures and more information but can not find. was pretty interesting, I also did not understand very well before. really do not understand very well now, that’s why they make different cars in the Chinese market which is actually pretty similar. But why not. in fact, the difference is even noticeable. Verano is a little bigger, higher quality and different design from the outside and the inside.
who wants it can find a lot of interesting material on the Chinese market gm
If this is what the North American Verano will look I really like it.
It appears elegant and stylish. The Chinese market can keep the 1.5lt normally aspirated engine though.
Is it me or does it kinda look like the Nissan versa?
No, it looks like a 2006-2010 Hyundai Elantra.

I would like to know if and when GM is planning to build the Buick Avenir. Iam ready to order.
I would say you are at least 2 years away from one in your driveway. They would want to give the platform mate CT6 some time to gain a little traction in the marketplace before introducing a similar and less expensive version.
I hope that turd won’t get the Verano badge on it! I’m pretty sure that it’s uglier than an Aztek! Definitely undeserving of a Buick badge….
