New Buick Verano previewed in Shanghai - Kelley Blue Book

Offering a good first take at what we can expect see here sometime within the next 12 months, the redesigned 2016 Buick Verano - also known as the "Wei Lang" in China -- made its global debut at the Shanghai Auto Show. Replacing the Buick Excelle in the critically important Chinese market and presently expected to launch in the U. S. as an early 2017 model, the new Verano draws its overall inspiration from Buick's 2013 Riviera Concept vehicle while borrowing... The 2016 Verano sets off its more cleanly sculpted bodywork with a new "double sweep" beltline and a bolder version of Buick's signature waterfall grille - which is now flanked by Avenir-style wing-shaped HID headlamps. Underpinning this next-gen Verano is a version of GM's new Delta 2 platform architecture. Also set for duty in a redesigned 2016 Chevy Cruze that's expected to surface sometime this summer, this upgraded chassis promises to endow the upcoming Verano with even better ride and handling characteristics. While there's no word on what if any changes powertrain changes might see on our version of this new Buick 4-door, the 2016 Verano launches in China later this. Source: www.kbb.com
