The 2015 Buick Encore belongs to the first generation of the model which was produced from 2013 to 2020. It presents a luxury compact SUV with a standard front-wheel drive, and an all-wheel-drive optional. It's powered by a 1.4-liter turbocharged inline-4 engine that produces 138 horsepower, mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. There are four available trims: base, Convenience, Leather, and Premium. Standard features include a 7-inch touchscreen with Buick’s IntelliLink infotainment system, Bluetooth, a USB port, a six-speaker audio system, and satellite radio. Safety features include a rearview camera and 10 airbags. Notable for this year, Buick improved the Encore's tech line-up, offering OnStar with 4G LTE and a built-in Wi-Fi hotspot.
