Overall Rating
The 2014 Buick Verano carries forward the same two engine options from the previous year. The interior is borderline premium and provides considerable spacing for all the passengers.
The 2014 Buick Verano carries forward the same two engine options from the previous year. The base engine is decent on power output, but the turbocharged engine exponentially improves the power and performance of the vehicle. The interior is borderline premium and provides considerable spacing for all the passengers.
We would recommend to opt for the base trim along with the Premium group. The Premium group adds in all the features from the Convenience and Leather group, like the heated side mirrors, heated front seats, six-way power driver seat, and multiple driver-assistive technologies. Along with that, the Premium group adds in a much more powerful 2.0-liter turbocharged engine which improves the performance of the vehicle. All this is available for $29,065.
