2014 Buick Verano Slated for 1.6L Turbo
Buick will replace the 2.4-liter naturally aspirated Ecotec engien currently found in the Buick Verano with a turbocharged 1.6-liter unit for the 2014 model year.
The new engine will sit directly underneath the current 2.0-liter turbo model and will offer weight savings, more power and improved
efficiency. The same engine is slated for the Opel Adam in Europe and is expected to make 200 hp and 221 lb-ft of torque.

That still leaves plenty of room for the 2.0liter turbo model which makes 250 hp and 260 lb-ft while offering an enticing improvement to the less expensive model.
