Changes after the Verano EPS upgrade: The steering wheel becomes lighter after the EPS system's program upgrade. More details about the Verano are as follows: 1. The Verano is a compact sedan under Buick. It has a wheelbase of 2700 mm, with length, width, and height dimensions of 4723 mm, 1802 mm, and 1466 mm respectively. 2. The Verano is equipped with two engines: a 1.0-liter turbocharged engine and a 1.3-liter turbocharged engine. 3. The 1.0-liter turbocharged engine delivers a maximum power of 92 kW and a maximum torque of 180 Nm, with the maximum power achieved at 5800 rpm and the maximum torque available between 1350 to 4500 rpm. 4. The 1.3-liter turbocharged engine produces 165 horsepower and a maximum torque of 240 Nm, with the maximum power achieved at 5600 rpm and the maximum torque available between 1500 to 4000 rpm.
I just upgraded the EPS system on my Verano, and the most noticeable change is how much lighter the steering wheel feels. It's especially easy to maneuver with just one hand when parking in the neighborhood. On the highway, it actually feels more stable, unlike before when the steering would get too light at higher speeds. The mechanic mentioned that this was mainly a software upgrade, adjusting the power steering assist curve to create a clearer distinction between low-speed and high-speed handling. Additionally, the steering wheel returns to center more naturally now, so I don't have to fight with it after taking turns. However, I can still hear the motor noise when reversing, though it's quieter than in the older model. Overall, my daily commute feels much more effortless, and turning or changing lanes is much smoother.
