The Buick Verano lineup starts with the base trim, which delivers the sedan’s core quiet ride and everyday comfort. Sport Touring is the style-led version, with distinctive wheels and a spoiler but no extra power. Convenience and Convenience Group are the practical middle trims, adding cold-weather comfort and parking help. Leather and Leather Group bring the upscale cabin treatment, while Premium and Premium Group pair the fullest equipment with a stronger, performance-focused character.
The Base Model trim level, sold simply as base, is the straightforward Verano built around a quiet cabin, a comfortable ride, and useful everyday equipment.
Best for: Shoppers who want the Verano’s core comfort without sport styling or upgraded upholstery.

The names depend on the era. Earlier lineups commonly progress from base to Convenience, Leather, and turbocharged Premium. The late lineup adds Sport Touring, and the final U.S. year consists of base, Sport Touring, and Leather Group.
Across the run, the base Verano delivers the core comfort package: a 2.4-liter engine with a six-speed automatic, dual-zone climate control, cabin noise reduction, 17-inch alloy wheels, and a split-folding rear seat.
Sport Touring is a style-focused middle trim offered late in the Verano’s run. It adds black-accented 18-inch wheels, a rear spoiler, heated front seats, remote start, a 7-inch touchscreen, and rear parking sensors, but keeps the regular 2.4-liter engine.
No. Despite its name and sportier appearance, Sport Touring uses the same comfort-focused 2.4-liter engine as the regular late-run Verano. The earlier Premium trim is the one with the turbo engine.
On earlier Veranos, Convenience is the practical comfort step. Depending on year, it adds heated front seats and mirrors, rear parking sensors, fog lights, 18-inch wheels, and warning features for nearby traffic and unintended lane drifting.
On earlier lineups, Leather builds on Convenience with leather-appointed seats, keyless entry and push-button start, a heated steering wheel, and a nine-speaker Bose audio system. It keeps the regular 2.4-liter engine rather than adding turbo power.
On 2013–2016 models, Premium combines the richer cabin equipment with a 2.0-liter turbo engine, rear spoiler, and dual exhaust outlets. Leather focuses on comfort and uses the regular 2.4-liter engine.
They belong to different late-production lineups. Convenience, used through 2016, is mainly a comfort and driver-warning upgrade. Sport Touring, offered for 2016–2017, emphasizes appearance with black-accented 18-inch wheels and a spoiler while adding useful comfort features.
Convenience is a sensible earlier-run choice because it adds heated front seats and heated mirrors. Leather and Premium go further with a heated steering wheel, while late-run Sport Touring also includes heated front seats and mirrors.
Look for a 2013–2016 Premium or Premium Group. It has the 250-hp 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, making it the Verano trim that changes the driving character most noticeably.
Leather, Leather Group, Premium, and Premium Group are the trims to check. Their exact model-year spans differ, but these upper versions pair leather-appointed seating with a nine-speaker Bose audio system.
On many 2013–2016 cars, Convenience, Leather, and Premium include blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert. Forward-collision and lane-departure warnings reach those upper trims from 2014. Equipment varies by year, so verify the individual car.
1SV identifies a lower-content entry version briefly placed below the regular Verano late in the model’s run. It is a trim code rather than a different engine or body style, so check the individual car’s equipment carefully.
