The Buick Verano is a four-door, five passenger, compact sedan with a front engine, front-wheel drive layout projected to go on sale in North America in the fourth quarter of 2011 as a 2012 model as the first compact vehicle sold by Buick in the United States since the Buick Skylark was discontinued in 1997. The Verano is projected for assembly in the United States at General Motor's Orion Assembly plant in Orion Township, Michigan and takes its name from the Spanish word for summer.
Sharing General Motors' Delta II platform with the Chevrolet Cruze, the Verano was co-developed with the Chinese market Buick Excelle GT (traditional Chinese: 别克英朗GT), which is assembled in Shanghai, China by Shanghai General Motors Company Limited (traditional Chinese: 上海通用汽车有限公司).
General Motors announced the Verano in October of 2010, showed the Verano to journalists on January 06, 2011 and officially debuted the Verano to the public at the North American International Auto Show on January 10, 2011.
