The current, first-generation Buick Verano is set to be replaced by an all-new model for the 2017 model year. But that has not stopped GM from giving the 2016 Buick Verano several updates and changes for the 2016 model year.
To start, the Delta II-platformed 2016 Verano replaces two existing exterior colors with two new, extra-cost options:
Deleted Colors
- Carbon Black Metallic
- Smoky Gray Metallic
New Colors
- Graphite Gray Metallic
- Ebony Twilight Metallic
Furthermore, the 2016 Buick Verano relocates the location of the engine stop/start button from the center stack to the steering column. In addition, the 6-way power adjuster in the Comfort Package is replaced with an 8-way unit on the driver’s seat.
A new set of 19-inch wheels wrapped in all-season tires become available, as does a new Driver Confidence Package that includes various active safety systems, including:
