Full Description: Essentially based on an economy car the subcompact Chevrolet Sonic Buick Encore is a small crossover SUV with premium features. When it debuted as a 2013 model Encore was one of few small crossovers. Today that niche has grown quite crowded. The 2017 Buick Encore gets a fresh front end revised interior with an 8-inch touchscreen and pushbutton start. Buick will offer its stronger engine in all trim levels except the base model.Standard engine is a turbocharged 1.4-liter four-cylinder developing 138 horsepower and 148 pound-feet of torque. It mates with a 6-speed automatic transmission. Considering Encore's 3200-pound weight it's no surprise that performance falls short of stimulating. Acceleration to 60 mph takes a sluggish nine seconds while gas mileage isn't so thrifty for a small vehicle.Adding direct injection boosts output to 153 horsepower and 177 pound-feet which eases passing and merging. For good daily drivability the optional four-cylinder makes more sense.For what amounts to a tall wagon on a short wheelbase handling is about as good as any rival's. Optional all-wheel drive helps with harsh-weather traction.Because the Encore is narrow front passengers might bump elbows now and then. Headroom is more abundant and average-size adults can fit comfortably into the back seat.Despite its premium fittings the Encore's interior is more versatile and flexible than expected. Both the rear seat and the front passenger seat may be folded down. Bose noise cancellation helps keep the ride quiet and information appears on a large central touchscreen.HOW OUR $850 DRIVES PROGRAM WORKS:After selecting the vehicle(s) you are interested in and fill out an application our finance team will calculate what the down payment required will be for the financing of your selection(s).
