The 2013 Buick Encore is a stylish compact crossover SUV and marks the first year of this model's production. The Encore has one engine option, a turbocharged 1.4-liter inline-four, producing 138 horsepower, mated to a six-speed automatic transmission with front-wheel drive as standard and all-wheel drive being optional. It comes in four trims: Base, Convenience, Leather, and Premium. Key safety features on the Encore include front and side airbags, stability control, and OnStar emergency telematics. Noteworthy tech highlights include a 7-inch touchscreen, Bluetooth, a rearview camera, and an optional navigation system. With its hushed cabin and high fuel-economy, the Encore carved out a nice niche for itself in the entry-level luxury segment upon its debut.
