The 2014 Buick Encore is a compact luxury crossover with a quiet, upscale interior and excellent fuel economy. It’s powered by a 1.4L turbocharged inline-4 (138 hp), paired with a 6-speed automatic. While fuel-efficient (up to 33 MPG highway), it can feel underpowered on highways.
Inside, it offers high-quality materials, a 7-inch touchscreen, and optional leather seats. Cargo space is 18.8 cu-ft (48.4 cu-ft with seats folded). Safety is strong, with 10 airbags and available driver assists, earning a 5-star NHTSA rating.
Overall, the Encore is a stylish, city-friendly SUV with premium comfort, but limited power and cargo space.
