2016 Buick Encore

UPSCALE, QUIET, NONSMOKER, PREMIUM SMALL CROSSOVER CHARM! The 2016 Buick Encore helped pioneer the premium small crossover segment, proving that a genuinely upscale, quiet-riding SUV didn't need to come in a full-size package. This front-wheel-drive example carries that formula forward in a color and configuration that's easy to live with every day. Finished in Graphite Gray Metallic, this Encore's clean, understated exterior hides a cabin that punches well above its size class for quietness and refinement. Why Shoppers Buy This Model The Encore built its reputation by bringing genuine Buick refinement -- a hushed cabin, comfortable ride, and upscale materials -- into a footprint small enough to park and maneuver with ease. Buyers drawn to the Encore consistently point to its surprisingly composed ride quality and Buick's signature QuietTuning noise-isolation engineering, which keeps road and wind noise noticeably more subdued than most vehicles in this size class. Its compact dimensions also make the Encore a genuinely easy vehicle to live with in the city, offering an SUV's higher seating position and versatility without the bulk of a larger crossover. Automotive Press and Industry Recognition Reviewers have consistently praised the Encore for bringing genuine Buick-level quietness and upscale cabin materials to the small crossover segment at a time when few competitors offered anything comparable, helping establish an entirely new category of premium small SUV that other automakers would go on to imitate. Warranty With 68,235 miles on the odometer and just under 10 years since its original registration, this Encore has moved well beyond GM's original factory coverage windows, and its ownership story now centers on genuine, proven long-term value rather than remaining factory protection. As with all GM vehicles, and to the best of our abilities, we believe this vehicle's history is not affected by GM's anti-flip retention policy, but you're welcome to confirm with an authorized Buick dealership. Standard Features Every Encore comes standard with a turbocharged 1.4-liter four-cylinder engine, giving this small crossover genuinely strong efficiency for its class, along with Buick's hallmark focus on cabin quietness and ride comfort that helped define the segment. That combination of everyday efficiency and upscale comfort remains the Encore's calling card years after it first hit the market. Mechanical Features Power comes from a turbocharged 1.4-liter four-cylinder engine producing 138 horsepower, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission tuned for smooth, efficient power delivery rather than outright quickness. Front-wheel drive keeps this Encore efficient for daily commuting and city driving, where its compact dimensions and light turbocharged engine work well together. Exterior Features Graphite Gray Metallic gives this Encore a clean, sophisticated look that has aged gracefully, complementing its compact, upright proportions that make it easy to see out of and easy to park in tight city spaces. Interior Features Step inside and Buick's QuietTuning engineering is immediately apparent, with noticeably less road and wind noise making its way into the cabin than most vehicles in this size class. The upright seating position and thoughtfully packaged cabin give passengers a comfortable, commanding view of the road despite the Encore's compact exterior footprint. Safety Features A comprehensive airbag system and GM's well-regarded body structure provide a strong foundation of passive protection for this compact crossover, giving occupants genuine peace of mind on every drive. ... and there's SO MUCH more!
