2015 Buick Verano: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2015 Buick Verano received only light updates, led by standard OnStar 4G LTE with Wi-Fi connectivity. It was not redesigned, but flex-fuel capability was dropped from three trims and navigation became optional on the upper trims.
About the 2015 Buick Verano
1st generation Verano (2012-2017), fourth model year; no redesign or major refresh for 2015.
The Verano is Buick’s small premium sedan for drivers who want a quieter, more polished compact car than a typical mainstream small sedan. Buick marketed it around a calm cabin, upscale materials, easy everyday comfort, and a soft, composed ride rather than sharp handling. Its main draw is the way it brings near-luxury touches, a hushed interior, and available strong turbo power into a compact four-door shape.
The 2015 Verano is a comfort-focused small sedan with a quiet cabin, a 7-inch touchscreen, dual-zone climate control, and a rearview camera even in base form. Convenience adds several driver alerts and heated seats, Leather brings richer cabin appointments and Bose audio, and Premium stands out with a stronger 2.0-liter turbo engine.
What changed, by category
Powertrain
Flex-fuel capability was dropped from the base, Convenience, and Leather trims. The regular 2.4-liter four-cylinder and Premium's 2.0-liter turbo engine otherwise carried over.
Tech
OnStar 4G LTE with Wi-Fi connectivity became standard. Navigation changed from standard to optional on the Convenience, Leather, and Premium trims.
Styling
Some trims gained a new optional appearance package, but the Verano's basic exterior design did not change.
