For 2015, there are no major changes to the Verano, which fancies itself a more luxurious version of the Chevrolet Cruze. The entry-level version is powered by a 2.4L four-cylinder that features 180 horsepower and 171 lbs.-ft. of torque. This engine works in tandem with a six-speed automatic gearbox. A optional 2.0L turbocharged engine that develops 250 horsepower and 260 lbs.-ft. of torque is also available.
