Trim Levels
The Encore is the baby of the Buick line, but it still includes some of the amenities of its bigger siblings. The subcompact is offered in six trims that progress from the base 1SV, to the Preferred, Sport Touring, and Preferred II models, then up to the Essence and Premium. The four lower-ranked Encores are only available with front-wheel drive, while the Preferred II is offered as both all-wheel and front-wheel drive. The Premium version is only available with all-wheel drive. Stepping up to the Preferred also enables the addition of the Buick Experience package which includes a sunroof, 18-inch chromed alloy wheels and a navigation system and the Sport Touring edition is enhanced with fog lamps and a rear spoiler.
Engine
The standard 1.4-liter turbo V-4 creates 138 hp with 148 lb-ft of torque while the bigger option produces 153 hp and 177 lb-ft torque. The multiport injection unit is EPA-rated at 25/33 mpg in city/highway on the front-wheel drive and 24/30 mpg in city/highway with all-wheel drive. The optional direct-port injection version generates 153 horsepower and 177 lb-ft of torque. It consumes a 27/33 mpg with front-wheel drive and 26/31 mpg with all-wheel drive in city or highway driving respectively.
Performance
One of the best features of the Encore is the relatively quiet stable ride. With good maneuverability, it happily zips in and out of city traffic, where it seems most at home. If more power is needed, such as for longer trips or highway driving, the option of the direct-port injection engine producing 153 horsepower would be a better choice. The combined fuel economy of 30 mpg is impressive when compared to other vehicles in the class. The Encore's turns fairly well with little steering-effort required.
Interior
The interior of the 2018 Buick Encore is surprisingly quiet for a subcompact, and the front seats are positioned to provide good visibility with enough rear room to comfortably seat three normal size adults. Features that are standard include the cloth interior, and tilting and telescopic steering wheel. A six-way power-adjust driver seat comes with memory setting. Heated leather seats and a leather-wrapped steering wheel are available upgrades. The heart of the interior is user-friendly infotainment system.
Safety
Six airbags along with 4-wheel disc brakes are only a few of the safety features that are included as standard in the Buick Encore. Tracking Control and lane departure warning will help to avoid losing focus and LED Daytime Running lamps to provide better visibility. Improved road surface contact is maintained with the StabiliTrak® stability control system. Even more options such as blind-spot monitoring and forward collision warning and cross-traffic alerts are available for safer driving.
