This base model will feature electric front windows, electrically adjustable door mirrors, air-conditioning, urethane steering wheel, steel wheels, x6 airbags and remote central locking.

Lower mid-spec 1SD ($22,100 to $22,700) will add x4 electric windows, climate control, leather steering wheel, premium sound system w/Bluetooth connectivity and steering wheel mounted audio control w/cruise control.

Flagship 1SL ($25,600 to $26,200) has keyless entry/start, heated leather seats, BOSE sound system, and 18” alloy wheels.

Powering the Verano will be a 2.4 litre Ecotec petrol engine that kicks out 182bhp (185PS) and 233Nm (172 lb-ft) of torque. It will be mated to a 6 speed automatic transmission.

Centering on the Chevrolet Cruze, Verano will be built at GM's Lake Orion factory.
