Buick introduced the Encore compact crossover SUV in 2012, with the vehicle being sold as a 2013 model, combining efficiency and performance characteristics to enter the market. The first Buick Encore generation used a 1.4 L A14NET MFI VVT turbo engine with automatic transmission which delivered torque boost and gas efficiency and automatic gear shifting capabilities for smooth responsive driving performance. A new Sport Touring variant entered the market in 2017 giving drivers enhanced performance through its Ecotec direct-injection engine package and Stop/Start technology but added exclusive 18-inch Midnight Silver wheels. The Buick Encore experienced two consecutive updates between 2017 and 2018 as the brand added new trims to its lineup and included a new 8-inch borderless infotainment system and redesigned dashboard. The Buick Encore unveiled two engine choices at the Shanghai Motor Show in 2019 with a new 1.3L turbocharged inline engine generating 162 horsepower. The U.S. market did not carry the 1.0L engine option for the Buick Encore. To maintain Buick Encore performance you should utilize OEM components for repairs because they fulfill factory quality standards and product specifications. The genuine parts commitment ensures the Buick Encore maintains reliable service throughout its lifecycle which establishes its position in the automotive market.
