The 2017 Buick Verano represents the final chapter of Buick’s entry-level luxury compact sedan in the U.S. market. First introduced in 2012, the Verano aimed to bridge the gap between mainstream sedans and premium models by offering a refined driving experience, upscale interior materials.
Though Buick chose to discontinue the Verano in the United States after the 2017 model year due to shifting consumer preferences toward crossovers and SUVs, it remains a noteworthy contender in the used car market.
Exterior Design
While not overly flashy, the Verano carries a sophisticated presence on the road that appeals to those who appreciate refined styling over aggressive, sport-inspired aesthetics. The swept-back headlights integrate seamlessly into the body, giving the car a sleek and aerodynamic look. Subtle chrome trim around the windows and on the door handles adds a premium touch, further enhancing the vehicle's upscale character.
The body lines are smooth and fluid, contributing to a balanced profile that doesn’t try too hard to stand out, yet still manages to look classy and well-proportioned. Standard 17-inch alloy wheels offer a stylish foundation, while higher trims offer upgraded wheel designs and additional exterior enhancements, such as a power sunroof and heated side mirrors.
Interior and Comfort
Step inside the 2017 Buick Verano, and you’re immediately greeted by a cabin that prioritizes comfort, quietness, and quality. Buick built its reputation on smooth and silent rides, and the Verano proudly carries on that tradition with its QuietTuning technology — a combination of sound-deadening materials, triple-sealed doors, laminated glass, and refined engineering that keeps outside noise at bay. Whether you're cruising through city traffic or hitting the highway, the interior remains impressively serene. In higher trims, features such as leather-appointed seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and woodgrain accents further elevate the premium feel.
The front seats also offer heating in select trims, adding to the luxury experience. Rear seating is adequate for average-sized adults, although taller passengers might find the legroom a bit limited — a common trait in the compact sedan segment.
Additional touches like dual-zone automatic climate control, ambient lighting, and a well-insulated cabin make the Verano an ideal vehicle for commuters or those who appreciate a peaceful, refined interior. Despite its compact dimensions, it doesn’t feel cramped or bare — instead, it offers a cozy and luxurious environment that rivals some midsize sedans.
Technology and Features
The 2017 Buick Verano may be compact, but it's packed with an impressive array of technology features that cater to both convenience and connectivity. IntelliLink also includes voice recognition, making it easy to control music, calls, and navigation without taking your hands off the wheel.
For added comfort and convenience, features like remote vehicle start, keyless entry with push-button start, and dual-zone automatic climate control are available, enhancing the everyday usability of the car.
Safety tech also plays a significant role in the Verano’s feature list. Depending on the trim, you’ll find advanced driver-assistance systems such as:
- Rear Park Assist
- Lane Departure Warning
- Forward Collision Alert
- Blind Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross Traffic Alert
Performance and Handling
The 2017 Buick Verano isn’t built to be a performance car, but it delivers a driving experience that prioritizes smoothness, predictability, and comfort — all key traits for a compact luxury sedan.
Under the hood, the Verano is equipped with a 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine, producing 180 horsepower and 171 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. This powertrain delivers adequate acceleration for daily driving, with smooth shifts and a composed feel whether you’re merging onto the highway or cruising through town.
While it doesn’t offer the punch of turbocharged competitors, the Verano excels in offering a relaxed, quiet ride that feels more refined than most vehicles in its class. The suspension is one of the Verano’s strongest assets. Buick tuned it for comfort over sportiness, so it absorbs road imperfections gracefully and glides over bumps with ease. This tuning results in a ride quality that feels much more upscale than the car’s price might suggest. Even on less-than-perfect roads, the Verano maintains its composure, offering passengers a calm and stable experience.
For drivers looking for a more engaging ride, a turbocharged 2.0-liter engine was available in previous model years, but for 2017, only the naturally aspirated 2.4L was offered. Still, for the vast majority of buyers who value quiet, comfort-first commuting, the standard setup is more than sufficient.
Safety and Ratings
Safety is a key priority for many compact car buyers, and the 2017 Buick Verano delivers with a solid suite of standard and available safety features, along with strong crash test scores that provide peace of mind.
From the base model upward, the Verano comes equipped with a comprehensive package of 10 standard airbags, including front and rear side-impact airbags and full-length side curtain airbags. Other standard safety features include:
- Anti-lock disc brakes (ABS)
- Electronic stability control
- Traction control
- Tire pressure monitoring system
In terms of crash safety, the 2017 Verano earned high marks. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) gave it an overall rating of 5 out of 5 stars, including 5 stars in side crash and rollover tests. Similarly, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) gave the Verano “Good” ratings (the highest possible) in several key crashworthiness categories, such as moderate overlap front, side, and roof strength tests.
- Lane Departure Warning – alerts the driver if the vehicle begins to drift from its lane without signaling.
- Rear Park Assist – helps detect obstacles while reversing.
- Blind Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross Traffic Alert – improves awareness when changing lanes or backing out of parking spots.
While the Verano may not offer the most cutting-edge driver-assist systems available on newer vehicles today, it was ahead of many compact competitors in 2017, especially in its class. These features, combined with its excellent structural integrity, make it a smart choice for safety-conscious drivers and families alike.
