Buick Verano (2014)

Auto's die niet op de Nederlandse - laat staan de Europese - markt zijn uitgebracht, maar wél op Nederlands kenteken verschijnen. Dat is bijzonder te noemen, vooral voor een voor ons onbekende Amerikaans-Chinese sedan. Deze 2014 Buick Verano (eerste generatie) is in 2019 naar Nederland geïmporteerd en is in feite de Noord-Amerikaanse marktversie van de Buick Excelle GT, die juist weer voor de Chinese markt was bedoeld. De Verano is trouwens ook verwant aan de Opel/Vauxhall/Holden Astra, mocht hij je een klein beetje bekend voorkomen. Overigens was de tweede generatie Verano (vanaf 2017) wel exclusief voor de Chinese markt.

Cars that have not been released on the Dutch - let alone the European - market, but do appear on a Dutch license plate. That is remarkable, especially for an American-Chinese sedan unknown to us. This 2014 Buick Verano (first generation) was imported to The Netherlands in 2019 and is in fact the North American market version of the Buick Excelle GT, which was intented for the Chinese market. The Verano is also related to the Opel/Vauxhall/Holden Astra, if it looks a little familiar to you. Incidentally, the second generation Verano (from 2017) was exclusive to the Chinese market.
