The Buick Verano is a front engine, front-wheel drive layout, four-door, five passenger, compact car manufactured by Buick at the Orion Assembly plant in Orion Township, Michigan. The Verano debuted at the North American International Auto Show on January 10, 2011, during a preview of Buick's then upcoming 2012 model. It is the first compact marketed by Buick in the United States since the 1998 Buick Skylark. The Verano—along with the Buick Excelle GT, which was developed for the Chinese market and produced in China and the European Opel Astra sedan, which was presented at the 2012 Moscow International Automobile Salon—shares General Motors' Delta II platform with the Chevrolet Cruze and the corresponding MPV models, Chevrolet Orlando and Opel/Vauxhall Zafira Tourer. Buick is scheduled to present the next generation Verano at the 2015 Shangai Motor Show.〔http://www.autoblog.com/2015/04/15/buick-verano-shanghai-teaser/〕 ''Verano'' is Spanish for summer. == First generation (2012–2016) == Jim Federico, Executive Director and Vehicle Chief Engineer for Verano, led the vehicle development team and David Lyon, Buick design director, styled the exterior. The Verano's unibody construction utilizes galvanized steel for its front fenders, hood, roof and door panels and thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) bumper covers. It incorporates acoustical laminated glass, triple door seals, a five-layer interior roof liner, sound absorbing mats, recycled denim insulation and specially manufactured 18-inch forged alloy wheels, which minimize road noise. Buick's VentiPorts have reappeared at the Verano's introduction, a styling feature unique to Buick dating back to 1949. The standard powertrain is a 2.4 L Ecotec direct-injected DOHC I4 mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. The 2.4 L engine is rated at 6,700 rpm and of torque at 4,900 rpm. The engine is flex-fuel capable, meaning it can use either gasoline, or E85 ethanol, or any combination of the two fuels. EPA fuel economy estimates are city and highway for gasoline.〔http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/Find.do?action=sbs&id=32160〕 A 2012 (on-road mixed highway-city review ) by the website MPGOMATIC showed an average 26.5 MPG on E85, and 29 for gasoline. A 2.0 L turbocharged version became available in late 2012, for the 2013 model year, as did a 6-speed manual transmission. The 2.0 L turbo engine is rated at 250 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. GM estimated acceleration from 0-60 mph is 6.2 seconds, matching the number posted by the Buick Regal GS. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Buick Verano」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
