The Buick Verano Hatchback and Buick Verano GS both broke cover in China last month, making its world premiere at the Guangzhou Auto Show and immediately going up for pre-order at the 740 Buick dealerships throughout China.
Both sporty takes on the Verano promise “European car-like handling,” which is good if only because it’s better than having European Vacation-like handling. That sure was an unwieldy movie in a lot of ways, after all. Still a classic, though.

Both models sport a wedge-shaped silhouette complimented by a double-sweep beltline, floating roofline, wing-shaped LED daytime running lamps, and integrated rear wing. On the inside, the Verano Hatchback and Hatchback GS both feature a 360-degree layout, three-spoke sport-inspired steering wheel, ambient lighting, and Quiet-Tuning® noise control technology.

The GS takes the sport inspiration a bit further with exterior features such as red brake calipers and 17-inch dark-painted five-spoke aluminum alloy wheels and interior features including red accent stitching and carbon fiber stripe across the center console, Alcantara® racing seats, and Flame Red ambient lighting.

The GS is powered by the 1.5T SIDI engine that was named one of China Heart’s Ten Best mated to a new seven-speed dual-clutch, while the Verano Hatchback is powered by a 1.5-liter SIDI mated to a six-speed dual-clutch.

The new Verano sedan was revealed earlier this year at the Shanghai Motor Show.
