The function of the Verano's sport mode: After activating the sport mode, the transmission shift logic and engine operation mode will change. The sport mode can be used for overtaking and aggressive driving. Many automatic transmission vehicles have an S gear, and some without an S gear have a dedicated sport mode button. The S gear is essentially the sport mode, where 'S' is the abbreviation of the English word 'sport,' meaning sport. The Verano is a new compact model under the Buick brand. In terms of body dimensions, it measures 4718mm in length, 1802mm in width, and 1466mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2700mm. The Verano features the new family-style design language in its exterior, with a bold front face design and dynamic, smooth body lines.
The Sport Mode in the Verano really delivers an exhilarating drive! I usually stick to Normal Mode for fuel efficiency during my daily commute, but I always switch to Sport Mode when tackling mountain roads on weekends. The most noticeable difference is the lightning-fast throttle response—just a light tap and the car surges forward, giving me extra confidence when overtaking. The steering becomes heavier, making the front end respond more decisively to inputs. The transmission also holds gears longer, revving higher, and the engine note grows deeper. Once on the highway, Sport Mode made the chassis feel noticeably stiffer, reducing body roll significantly in corners. However, prolonged use burns more fuel, so I recommend reserving it for when you need the extra power—Normal Mode is still the smarter choice for daily driving.
