Because people often associate Buick with dependable luxury – as they well should –  sometimes it can be all-too easy to forget that they make comfortable, affordable sedans that can easily compete with the top of today’s most popular brands. Take the 2014 Ford Fusion, for example. It’s a well-loved, inexpensive family sedan that you see all over the place. How does the 2014 Buick Verano compare? The results may surprise you!

The first thing that will probably catch your attention is that the price is about the same. In fact, if you want to get technical, the Verano carries a slightly lower MRSP than the Fusion. For that lower price, you can still count on the level of luxury that come standard in a Buick, like dual-zone climate control (the Fusion comes standard with manual) and an 8-way power driver’s seat (4-way on the Ford).

You’ll also see that the Verano sports a more capable engine, with higher horsepower and a 0-60 time that clocks in at 7.7 seconds next to Fusion’s 8.5. The Verano’s gas mileage is slightly lower, but not by a much.
