In 2013, Buick launched its first subcompact crossover vehicle, the Encore. It is based on the European pair Chevrolet Traxx – Opel Mokka (which is sold in UK as the Vauxhall Mokka). Its short consoles and tall appearance, made it very well suited for an urban vehicle, easy to park and to move around. The interior is large enough for five passengers.
The Buick Encore is the shortest Buick built in the last three decades. With its length of 4280 mm (168.5 in) and 2555 (100.6 in) wheelbase, the engineers had to work hard to fit five passengers inside. The trunk space is small when the rear seats backrests are up, but with those folded down, it can reach 1372 liters (48.8 cu-ft), which is not bad for a small urban car.
Under the short hood, GM installed only one engine, an efficient turbocharged four-cylinder engine and six-speed automatic transmission. It generates 138 hp and 200 Nm (148 lb.-ft.) of torque between 1,850 rpm and 4,900 rpm.
On the inside, there are not too many options to give for its customers, but most of what's important is there as standard. A good thing is that it has the OnStar system with an emergency response in the eventuality of an accident, and it is standard.
