How many cylinders does the Buick Verano 15s engine have?
2 Answers
Buick Verano 15s is equipped with a three-cylinder engine, offering two powertrain combinations for responsive and smooth acceleration, paired with a high-performance sports chassis. The two powertrain combinations are: The 20T model is equipped with the eighth-generation Ecotec series 1.3T direct-injection turbocharged engine and a new CVT intelligent continuously variable transmission, with a maximum power of 121kw and a maximum torque of 240nm. The 15T model is equipped with the eighth-generation Ecotec series 1.0T direct-injection turbocharged engine and a 6-speed DSS intelligent transmission, with a maximum power of 92kw and a maximum torque of 180nm, delivering a more efficient and agile driving experience that redefines the perception of small-displacement engines for the new generation.
I once studied the model configurations of the Buick Verano, and the 15s variant is equipped with a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine, featuring a 4-cylinder design, typically coded as the L2B series. This engine is tuned for smoothness and fuel efficiency, delivering a peak torque of around 140 Nm. Paired with either a manual or automatic transmission, it offers a smooth and effortless driving experience. In urban driving, fuel consumption averages around 7-8 liters per 100 km, with even better efficiency on highways. From a cylinder-count perspective, 4-cylinder engines are quite common in compact sedans, offering significantly less vibration than 3-cylinder engines and simpler maintenance—just regular oil changes and spark plug checks. I’ve driven this model; while the acceleration isn’t aggressive, it’s more than adequate, making it particularly suitable for family daily commutes or city driving. It’s also highly reliable, with a strong presence in the used car market—checking the engine condition is key when purchasing.
