2017 Buick Encore Review

The subcompact SUV is an increasingly popular choice among motorists who need plenty of cargo space and updated tech and safety features, but don’t need the expansive passenger room and lower gas mileage of a full-size SUV. One of the vanguards of this class is the Buick Encore, which was first introduced for the 2013 model year and has been fully redesigned and updated for 2017. Read on to learn more about the all-new 2017 Buick Encore and determine whether it’s right for your family.

Attractive, Quality Interior
With the Encore redesign, Buick has created an elegant interior with soft-touch materials and premium wood and metal accents that calls to mind a luxury vehicle. Drivers will enjoy a near-silent ride due to revolutionary Active Noise Cancellation technology, through which the car speakers send out noise-cancelling sound waves, paired with Quiet Tuning Technology to smooth road vibrations. The 2017 Encore has room for five passengers and comes standard in the base model with a six-way power-adjustable driver’s seat and a tilt and telescopic leather-wrapped steering wheel. Drivers can opt to upgrade for high-end features like leather upholstery, moonroof, heated front seats, remote start, power-adjustable front passenger seat, driver’s seat memory settings, auto-dimming rearview mirror, and heated steering wheel.

Generous Tech Features
Even in the base model, the 2017 Encore comes packed with the technology modern drivers need to get from point A to point B without disrupting their busy schedules. All Encore trim levels are equipped with a six-speaker audio system with satellite radio, a Wi-Fi hot spot, 4.2-inch driver information dashboard display, and the newly redesigned Buick IntelliLink infotainment system with an 8-inch touch screen, Siri Eyes Free, both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay functionality, two USB ports, and Bluetooth connectivity.

Stellar Safety Ratings
The 2017 Buick Encore has a five-star overall safety rating from the National Highway and Traffic Safety Administration, with five-star performance in both the front and side crash test categories. All Encores come standard with safety equipment that includes a rear view camera and access to the OnStar Guidance Plan comprising automatic crash response, stolen vehicle assistance, and roadside assistance. The new Encore is also available with a suite of high-tech driver assistance features, including rear cross traffic alert, blind spot monitoring, forward collision alert, parking assist, and lane departure warning.
