Buick designed the Encore to bridge affordability and premium features. The cabin materials, sound insulation, and ride quality all punch above the vehicle’s size class. You’ll find soft-touch surfaces, available leather seating, and technology integration that keeps pace with larger SUVs costing considerably more.
The turbocharged engines deliver responsive acceleration while maintaining impressive fuel economy. This makes these vehicles practical for daily commuting. The 60/40 split-folding rear seats create useful hauling capacity when needed. For urban driving, the compact dimensions simplify parking and maneuvering, while highway comfort remains genuinely refined.
This combination explains why used Buick Encore models stay popular with buyers seeking premium features at accessible price points.
The original Encore established Buick’s presence in the compact luxury SUV segment with its 2013 debut. Its 1.4-liter turbocharged engine produces 138 hp in most model years, ramping up to 155 hp for 2022. StabiliTrak stability control comes standard across all years, along with comprehensive airbag coverage including side, curtain, and knee airbags.
You get Bluetooth connectivity and satellite radio as standard features, with later model years adding smartphone integration. The available AWD system enhances traction without crushing fuel economy. The 100.6-inch wheelbase creates a nimble feel in tight spaces while maintaining composed handling.
With production spanning nearly a decade, the used market offers substantial model year variety. This lets buyers select features and pricing that match their budget.
The Encore GX arrived in 2020 with expanded dimensions and contemporary design. Two engine options provide flexibility: the 1.2L turbocharged unit delivers 137 hp with 162 lb-ft torque, while the 1.3L ECOTEC turbocharged engine produces 155 hp with 174 lb-ft torque.
The larger cargo volume (23.5 cu. ft. behind the rear seats expanding to 50.2 cu. ft. with seats folded) addresses a common compact SUV limitation. Standard technology includes the 11-inch HD touchscreen, wireless smartphone integration, and the comprehensive Buick Driver Confidence Suite. That suite includes automatic emergency braking, front pedestrian braking, lane-keep assist, and forward collision alert.
Available features like the panoramic moonroof and hands-free power liftgate add convenience. The improved combined fuel economy of 30-31 MPG in FWD configuration makes this particularly efficient for city driving.
Technology availability varies by model year, but even earlier Encore models include touchscreen infotainment with satellite radio. Later model years introduced Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Initially wired, these eventually became wireless in the Encore GX. Available features include leather seating, heated front seats, and remote start functionality.
Safety technology evolved substantially throughout production. Rearview cameras became standard, and later models added forward collision alert, lane departure warning, and rear cross-traffic alert. Wi-Fi hotspot capability appears on many models.
