The Buick Encore is one of the top-selling Buicks of all time. Which shows that drivers appreciate having a compact SUV that includes Buick’s quiet ride and sure-footed handling characteristics.
The 2022 Buick Encore gives you more of the good thing. That good thing being the standard 1.4-liter turbo 4-cylinder engine and a 6-speed automatic transmission. A combination that gives you enough torque to keep things lively and plenty of the sophistication you would expect from a top-selling Buick

“The Encore maintains a comfortable driving experience, even in harsh road conditions, and maneuvering this small crossover is a breeze.” US News.com.

For 2022 the Buick Encore retains the high-end look so hard to find in the compact SUV class. The Encore avoids the cross-over hatchback look by virtue of a roofline which allows for a more substantial-looking vehicle. The handsome new grille and hood work so well with the Encore's creatively crafted lines. The smooth, sweeping curves accent the elegant appearance which says this vehicle is a Buick all the way.

The 2022 Buick Encore can check all the boxes when it comes to safety features and technology. Starting with the Encore’s NHTSA 5-Star Crash Test rating all the way through both standard and available safety technology like blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and rain sensing automatic windshield wipers to name a few.

Come and experience what a compact SUV can be and see why the 2022 Buick Encore remains so popular.
