The Verano was introduced on 27 July 2015 in the Chinese market. It is sold in both sedan and hatchback body styles.[2]

A performance GS variant based on the cancelled Opel Astra OPC debuted at the 2015 Guangzhou Auto Show on November 20, 2015, and went on sale in China at the end of the year. Available in hatchback form, the Verano GS is powered by a turbocharged 1.5-litre inline-4 rated at 167 hp.[5] with a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox. Unique aesthetic features include red accents and black chrome wheels.[6]
First facelift (2018)
In late 2017, Buick updated the Verano with a revised grille. The update applies to the Buick Verano sedan, Verano hatchback, and Excelle GT sedan. A station wagon variant was added to the lineup.
Second facelift (2020)
A more significant update to the second-generation Verano was launched in September 2019. Although Buick called it "all new", only the front and back of the exterior were changed, along with minor interior changes, and new engine/transmission options.[7]
Engines
Buick Verano Pro (2021)
The Buick Verano Pro was first leaked in late 2019, with the front and rear being very similar to the previous post-facelift model and the A-pillars being pushed back. The actual production vehicle was officially launched during the 2021 Shanghai Autoshow during April 2021 as the Buick Verano Pro, with the GS performance model being one of the first versions to be launched. The Buick Verano Pro was developed by PATAC of SAIC-GM.[12] Its codename is JCSB[13][14][15][16], which indicates Verano Pro belongs to GEM platform according to this codename. It is powered by a new 1.5-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, producing 135 kW and 250 Nm torque.[17][18]

Despite the previous GS trim being performance variants, the Buick Verano Pro GS remains to be an appearance package which includes darkened exterior touches and sportier looking front and rear bumpers.[19]
