Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

A proper Top Gear hero. Seriously over-delivers on the underpromising price..

Pros
Cheap,
but also value.
Looks good.
Is very capable

Cons
Lacks safety kit; so slow that this might not actually matter

By: 
topgear.com

Pros
Very cheap to buy
Roomy cabin
Efficient engines

Cons
Feels pretty basic inside
Doesn't handle all that well
Disappointing safety score

By: 
carwow.co.uk

The 2019 Buick Encore ranked #3 in Subcompact SUVs. Currently the Buick Encore has a score of 8.2 out of 10 which is based on our evaluation of 37 pieces of research and data elements using various sources.

Pros
Nice interior with lots of standard features
User-friendly infotainment system
Nimble handling

Cons
Underpowered base engine
Higher base price than rivals

By: 
usnews.com

The Encore's available trims have been downsized to the base and Preferred models for 2021. With the exception of adding Dark Moon Blue Metallic and Cinnabar Metallic exterior colors, Buick hasn't made any changes to its smallest SUV.

Pros
Smooth ride,
intuitive infotainment setup,
surprisingly spacious cabin.

Cons
Not as fuel efficient as key rivals,
lacks standard safety tech,
just plain slow.

By:

Simplified trim lineup. Improved suite of driver safety aids.

Pros
Hushed cabin at highway speeds
Maneuverable size

Cons
Tepid acceleration
Limited feature availability
Small cargo area
Unimpressive fuel economy
