2014 Buick Verano: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2014 Buick Verano is a light-update year, not a redesign. The main change is added safety equipment on the Convenience, Leather, and Premium trims.
About the 2014 Buick Verano
1st generation (2012-2017), third model year, no redesign or mid-cycle refresh.
Buick positions the Verano as a small sedan that delivers the quiet, comfort, and upscale feel of a larger Buick in an easier-to-park size. The marketing centers on “unexpected luxury,” a hushed cabin, and premium features that are uncommon in a compact car. Review sources back that up: the Verano’s main draw is its calm ride, quiet interior, strong feature content, and optional turbo power for shoppers who want more pace without stepping into a much pricier luxury brand.
The base Verano is a comfort-focused compact sedan with a 180-horsepower engine, a 7-inch touchscreen, dual-zone climate control, and a rearview camera. Convenience adds more everyday comfort and driver aids, Leather brings a richer cabin and Bose audio, and the Premium model pairs those comforts with a 250-horsepower turbo engine.
What changed, by category

Gas powertrains join the Base, Convenience, and Leather trims. The underlying engine lineup remains a 2.4-liter four-cylinder for non-turbo models and a 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder for the Premium model.
