Road Test

The Verano aims to pack a lot of luxury into a compact package. Its most impressive high point is a commendably quiet cabin. But this Buick doesn't quite conceal its roots from the more budget-friendly Chevrolet Cruze. The interior looks attractive, but close examination reveals the luxury treatment only goes skin-deep. Overstuffed front seats have uneven support and lack full power adjustment. Cramped rear seating and a narrow driving position hurt accommodations.
