The maximum power output of the Verano 15s engine is 87 kW. This engine is a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine with a maximum horsepower of 118 hp and a maximum torque of 146 Nm. The Verano 15s is equipped with two types of transmissions: the 15s manual entry model and the 15s manual premium model come with a 6-speed manual transmission, while the 15s automatic entry model and the 15s automatic premium model are equipped with a 6-speed automatic transmission with manual mode.

I've been driving the Buick Verano 15s for over a year, with an engine power of about 118 horsepower. This car is quite reliable for city commuting. Although the acceleration isn't aggressive, it's very stable, and stepping on the gas pedal allows for easy speed increase. Compared to my colleague's Corolla 1.8L, it has slightly less horsepower but better fuel economy, with a fuel consumption of only around 7L per 100 kilometers, saving a lot on gas money for daily commutes. The naturally aspirated engine isn't noisy and has a low long-term failure rate. Regular oil changes help maintain its power without degradation. Although it requires a bit more throttle for overtaking on highways, overall it feels safe and reliable, making it suitable for daily transportation. If you're a new driver, this power configuration won't make you nervous. It's also quite agile at low speeds in parking lots, with low maintenance costs. Saving money and peace of mind is what matters most.
As an owner of the Verano 15s, I find the engine's 118 horsepower output to be sufficient and not overstated. I usually drive it to take my kids to school, and it starts smoothly at traffic lights in the city without getting honked at by cars behind. On weekends, I take short trips on the highway, maintaining a stable speed of 120 km/h, and it handles steep climbs without issues. The fuel consumption is quite good, averaging 7.5L/100km, which is much more economical than the 1.6L older car I used to drive. The engine is highly reliable, with no issues after 30,000 kilometers. However, during cold winter starts, it takes a bit longer to warm up, and the power output feels slightly softer. Overall, it's well-suited for family use, offering a balanced experience without the struggle of a small-displacement engine or unnecessary fuel expenses. This makes it a worthy recommendation for budget-conscious buyers.
