Just three weeks after the world debut of the all-new 2022 Buick Verano Pro at the 2021 Shanghai Auto Show, General Motors revealed the interior design of the newest member in Buick’s sedan family, which is still highly popular in China. After showing a preview of the dashboard, the automaker released more images of this next-generation model’s cabin.
The 2022 Buick Verano Pro adopts the latest evolution of the brand’s wraparound interior design language, characterized by sleek lines extending from the center stack to the door panels. The layout is not only consistent with the wing-like grille and headlight cluster design, but improves outward visibility as well.
To achieve this, each of the dashboard’s components is configured in a multi-layered configuration, optimizing the available space in addition to providing an uncluttered and more practical design. Buick split up the Verano Pro’s interior with a display layer, a control layer and a contact layer, and claims to have used premium materials in order to compete with its luxury-brand rivals.
From a technological standpoint, the 2022 Buick Verano Pro’s cabin stands out at first glance with its massive display panel, which integrates two 10.25-inch screens, harmoniously combining control systems and driver instrumentation. The very slim screens are angled slightly towards the driver, and feature Buick’s latest infotainment system.
In addition to its interior design and integration of the latest tech features, the Buick Verano Pro was developed with a special focus on maximizing passenger space both front and rear. According to Buick, the sedan offers the most accommodating and most comfortable rear seats in the C-segment sedan category, with ample leg, head and shoulder room.
The Buick Verano Pro is a global vehicle that represents the third generation of the brand’s compact sedan, initially introduced in North America for the 2012 model year. In China, it’s positioned at the top of the segment above the Buick Excelle, which was China’s fourth best-selling vehicle in March. For the time being, it’s expected to remain an exclusive model for the Chinese market, and will go on sale within the next few months.

Why the new Buick Verano Pro is not for north america.Presently I have Buick Verano 2015 and for me is the best car I never have. Thank you. I am a retired from GM
Because GM wants you to buy one of their trucks instead.
Or, apparently, for you to go buy a Toyota or Kia product. Mary and lowercase gm should really bring the production of the vss-f platform stateside and put a decent drivetrain in it. Just do something in the B/C segment that is better than the current Bolts and Trailblazer.
Completely agree. Not everybody likes SUV´s or crossovers and will not buy one no matter what. I actually owe a Chevy Volt and a Malibu, but when the time comes to trade them, if GM doesn´t have a sedan, I´ll go to Tesla, Audi or any brand that offers me a sedan.
GM is working on a low roof Chevy Sedan EV according to some leaks.
I did the same. Wanted to buy a new Cruze. Because that was discontinued I ended up buying a Honda Civic.
The truth is this. They have offered several really good sedans over the last 10 years and even a wagon a few cried for. They even offered a convertible. They even offered AWD on these models something Chevy still never offered.
Yet all these cars were left sitting on the lots and just rotted. They were offered even with massive discounts yet they still sat on the lots.
GM has tried to offer cars here and yet few buy them or care.
The fact is large numbers of the American public will not buy Buick cars. These folks will buy the CUV modes but not the cars.
I was in the Regal at the auto show two years ago. I could have sat and ate my lunch there as no one wanted in the car or eve stopped to look. I did sit there and see a long line waiting to sit in the new large Enclave.
Time to stop condemning GM on not offering Buick cars as they have and a wider range than most of them. But it is time to find more Americans who would buy a Buick sedan.
I can see why Buick has no cars to offer as they just were not worth the investment. Add to that the economical way to do this is to import them from China but we all know that would not work either as even less would buy that.
GM is going to offer what the markets buy and stop catering to every little niche there is. They tried that and those times have passed.
Automakers have to look at markets and balance the money they can afford to invest vs what segments are going to bring the greatest returns. This is no longer the Sloan era.
Note I am a sedan owner so I harbor no hate on sedans.
Time for some to take the time to understand how the market works today and to understand that many like us are no longer the center of the market any more.
I fully appreciate your logic, but perhaps you could explain this to Kia, Hyundai, Genesis, Honda, Toyota, Lexus, Mercedes, BMW…
The segment is shrinking even for those brands. These brands sedans are seeing fewer buyers AND many have discontinued vehicles as well.
Here is just a small list: https:// www. jdpower .com /cars/shopping-guides/discontinued-cars-in-2021-run-gamut-from-good-to-grim#Kia%20K900
Hyundai, Kia and Genesis have unleashed a comprehensive line of affordable new sedans including very respectable performance variants. Genesis even has a stunning shooting brake – for the more refined world, of course. Honda just a week or so ago revealed a spanking new Civic – making it simple… again.
More gas shortages and inflation are in our crystal ball and with Democrats reshaping government with an emphasis on reversing US energy independence and going limp on foreign adversaries, it’s only a matter of time before we find ourselves in a full-on 1970s-style fuel crisis again. And get used to hacked grid related shutdowns and paralysis.
Just like the ’70s, our esteemed American barge manufacturers will be caught with their pants down. Because $100K electric Hummers aren’t the answer. Mark my words.
The fuel thing is a myth as the CUV models get nearly the same mpg as the cars they are replacing.
My Acadia gets just over 30 mpg on the highway with AWD and V6. 22 around town.
…nearly the same. Nearly. And the even stronger selling SUVs are 2021’s equivalent to the 1974 Caprice Estate Wagon (only not nearly as cool). Corollas and Civics will at some point very soon come back into vogue and there will be no direct competition from gm.
My Cruze Diesel HB gets a real world attainable 40-45 mpg highway with a best so far of 49.9. And it’s plenty tall and plenty roomy. It’s also discontinued. Unwise.
Simple they sell these cars globally. There is not a continent that does not sell one of these accept Antarctica.
Buick sells in China and the non coastal fly over states. Much less volume much smaller total market.
Can’t make it that much easier to understand. Just selling in most Asian countries adds tons of market share and it is tough for any American company to enter as they never sold many RHD vehicles.
Even they are losing sales to CUV models they are introducing in high numbers.
You don’t have to appreciate their logic if it’s bad… The Corolla is selling better in the last few months than it has in years. It sells substantially better than anything lowercase gm offers in the segment, which isn’t much. It’s too bad gm is missing out on potentially 30k units of sales a month. Everyone is so quick to forget how well the US made Cruze, Verano, and Sonic sold when they were first released consumers flocked to them.
No one was buying Buick sedans. I worked at a Buick, GMC, and Cadillac dealership. We couldn’t give Buick sedans away.
*No one buys Buicks.*
Could have just moved the period up a little to make your comment more accurate. Buick is all but lost to GM-SAIC. It’s a Chinese company now.
I don’t understand I have a Buick LaCrosse and I LOVE IT! In fact I’m due for a new car and I looked into sedans from Buick but couldn’t find any new ones 🙁 I had no idea they were discontinuing the sedans . I’m so sad
This should come to the US. If for no other reason in that Buick has nothing but crossovers. Build in China if you must but sell it here.
Buick should offer sedans in USA market. Verano and its sibling Chevy Cruze first generation were designed in USA and mechically engineered in Germany and were rated best compact cars. Our family operates 2 and they continue to provide performance, economy, handsome design. GM never looks at the long view. Verano could succeed here with better marketing.
Better marketing? How about ANY marketing. It’s painful, isn’t it? Sighhh
The original Verano was a damn good car!!
My b at car ever was the regal Tourx… a true station wagon that GM seemed to forget about…
I agree, but when PSA bought Opel was the end of sales with GM. There is speculation that Stellantis will bring back to the U.S. as a new model to the Chrysler starved brand.
Looks like a Malibu from the outside. The interior is nice – it seems like gm should offer at least on sedan in the Buick lineup.
My grandsons friends 2014 cruise was just T-boned by a Silverado doing 60mph, He walked away, p/u driver not buckled did not. And 3 doors still opened Thank You Gm LDTA !
That car was built in Lordstown Ohio which is now sold 2 Lordstown Motors Way to go Mary Barra
Glad to read he’s ok but I belive it’s a Cruze, not a “cruise”.
I’m retired and still drive my late (end of year 2011) Buick Lucerne CXL (under 70K mileage) but I never got rid of my 2001 Buick Park Ave “Premium” (not Ultra) rare car fitted with AWD. (also only 135K mileage) HOWEVER when the time come for a new-er ( I buy 18-24 month lease trade-ins at auction) vehicle I’m going with a SUV so I CAN SEE traffic in parking Lots and anywhere some clown is blocking my low comfortable ride. The issue with “most GM built SUV is the crappy back seats they don’t “really” allow for 3 people. Once you strap in two child seats that center position is built for a skinny person and they still need a cushion avoiding a bruise butt.
Now this is the interior they should put in the trucks, are you listening GM? This will sell and replace that crappy interior that is currently in there.
Why is it that GM refuses to put a headrest in the middle of the backseat in North America? I cannot think of another manufacturer who does that. It looks more expensive and to me looks like cost cutting.
I’ve been buying Buicks since 1972. The best car I have ever had was a 1973 Buick Estate Wagon. The last Buick I owned was a 1985 Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagon. I now own two 2014 Chevrolet Impalas. Chevrolet had discontinued this great car. I have told friends that when I have to replace my Impalas I will probably buy a Toyota Avalon. I am 88 years old and have never even considered buying a foreign car. When I was a mechanic, 1959 to 1985 I would not work on foreign or Dodge cars!
Way to go GM — if you’re trying to make the lame Verano look like a Ford. You’ve lost your way Buick. Sad but true. Pandering to a global market and forgetting about what made you unique among GM back in the day. You ought to be ashamed of yourself.
Place a Chevrolet Front and rear end and sell it as the New Cruze.
I will never understand why GM and Ford basically gave up on the segment. Makes me angry actually.
Show some competitive spirit man.
If I’m not mistaken this Buick shares platform with the 4 door sedan Chevrolet Monza, available only in China. But your point makes total sense to me.
When Detroit quit building what they did best, RWD cars were their bread and butter, it took almost two decades to design and engineer reliable front wheel drive cars. By then many consumers had switched to foreign vehicles and they had improved quality as well. Older generation consumers passed away and younger consumers don’t consider domestic brands. The pie kept shrinking for domestics, while the competition offered more brands and models. Trucks and SUVs became the priority in the 2000s and the rest is history!
We have TWO Veranos — 2012 and a 2017 — shaqs commercial was B.S> we hit out heads getting in all thetime . but for a smallish car – it had enough power and good ride for us. I am trading in both for small suvs. bout a 2017 encire – my wife loves it and going to look at an eco sprt tmw. .. If GM had just UPDATED the car with safelty electronic, I would have bought another… that’s what they do . nothing.. sold well enough and brought in the sub $ 20,000 senior buyers.
Only gm I ever bought that had any mechanical problems – sa/c went kablowey – $ 1,200 to replace.
Crazy management gives away the whole auto segment to everyone ELSE …
Great news for China…unfortunate news for us here in the USA 🇺🇸
2012 and 2016 buick Verano great cars!
Too bad the Morons at GM don’t read these comments ,maybe they would learn something
I’m glad GM doesn’t read these comments. Most of the comments are incredibly misogynistic towards Mary Barra even though she has done more to shore up the company for future growth than the last five decades of GM CEOs that oversaw the continued decline of the company and kept producing the same substandard products over and over again.
Mary is a failure, she let that crappy plastic truck interior make it to production. If she wants a seat at the table she better be reading these boards and give us this Buick interior in the trucks.
Like replacing the crappy truck interiors with this.
Car, great.
Buick, great.
Exterior, great.
Interior, great until I saw the screen. No thanks. But it doesn’t matter because it’s not for here.
Apparently, this “GM Authority” site is controlled by the CCP Chinese Propagandists. Kind of like they CONTROL Queen MaryB as it’s gm biggest foreign market. Why else would all these Chinese “Buicks” never to see the light of day in the States get all this attention????
Best example of Re-pubic-lan thinking 🤔…..
BFD you clowns, we can’t have it here in the states so a big so what!
I’m 70 and have been driving Buicks since 1988 (also had a 1970 GSX 1977-2007) I have a 22 yrs old Park ve that still drives/rides like a dream (& I can SEE out if it) I alsohave a finalm year Lucerne (V6 3.9 POS engine, 3.8 in the P.A gets better mialge) The issue with sedans is as far back as the Lucerne they have blind spots everywhere .. and once a SUV parks next to you back out in a parking lots is gamble if yo’ll get hit. The rear camer is OK and the sound alerts so you don’t back over a person walking, but on coming traffic You get hit before you see them in the rear camera. I caved in and bought a Used (Like New) GMC Arcadia LS .. I can SEE and it rides quite well and the 4WD is great (NE PA weather) Lucerne got sold (for close to what I piad for it 11 years ago) The Park Ave Ultra will never get sold (146, 759 miles .. it gets driven less than 3000 a year gargae kept)
