Vehicle Description
SERVICED & INSPECTED... NO ACCIDENTS REPORTED AND FAMILY
OWNED!!�The 2013 Buick Encore is a new entry-luxury crossover
utility vehicle.�At first exposure the Encore is a bit
confusing.�Viewed from the outside it is a very compact package
that may cause buyers to be skeptical of the small luxury crossover
title.�Can anything this small really be luxury? More to the point
can this small luxury vehicle achieve the established Buick image
which company spokesmen describe as inviting approachable warm?But
climbing into the Encore and pulling the door shut instantaneously
the Encore's luxury makes itself felt in its elegant design fine
instruments and high-quality switch-gear.�If the Encore you climb
into has leather upholstery its beauty and richness will leave you
in no doubt that this is a luxury crossover.�The layout and
proportioning of everything in the cockpit feels so spacious and
commodious that it's hard to remember the smallness that struck you
looking at the vehicle from outside.�This is very definitely a
little/big vehicle a world car-sized crossover that will fit into
countless environments and driving conditions.�Its outside package
is so compact that whenever we came up upon another Encore during
our test driving we were stunned at how diminutive it looked moving
through traffic.�The Encore we were driving identical to the one
out the window seemed sumptuous inside a satisfying vehicle that
suited all our needs.�With smoke-and-mirrors designing like that
the Buick stylists have shown themselves wizards of clever
packaging.�But the good news continues: This little/big package
showed very efficient over-the-road performance.�Being physically
small and light at 3190 pounds for the front-wheel-drive model the
Buick Encore requires only an absolutely tiny 1.4-liter
four-cylinder turbocharged engine coupled to a 6-speed Hydramatic
automatic transmission to deliver adequate local and Interstate
performance.�Even with the heavier 3309-lb all-wheel drive model
the Encore delivers an EPA-estimated 23/30 mpg City/Highway.�The
front-wheel drive Encore gets 25/33 mpg City/Highway mpg the
highest fuel economy of any front-wheel-drive crossover.�Encore's
performance equation seems to be extremely well balanced.�It
delivers thrift and luxury in generous degrees available for a very
attractive price.�Many starter families will be enticed by this
vehicle.�But we suspect just as many empty-nesters no longer
needing their huge now-empty Enclaves will flock to this
mini-Enclave happy to have a familiar taste of their Enclave's
comfort and elegance. Visit AMG Auto Sales online at
