If you are looking for a small SUV, this is the one for you. Easy to operate. You don't need a key to open and unlock the doors (big plus). Push button start. Comfortable seats and easy to get in and out of. Quiet ride. Love this little SUV!

I absolutely love my 2019 Buick. I unexpectedly had to go car shopping the week of christmas in 2018 after my 2006 Lexus Rx400h decided to go to car heaven! i do miss the size of the trunk i had on my Lexus and my heated seats, but i absolutely do not hate the choice i made with buy our new 2019 Buick Encore. Definitely a High Class car with a Budget Friendly Price!

Awesome Little SUV

2019 Buick Encore Essence 4dr SUV AWD (1.4L 4cyl Turbo 6A)

This is a super awesome smaller SUV. My kids are grown and I don’t need a large vehicle anymore. This Buick model is a little smaller and perfect for what I need. The features are excellent and the trim level is of excellent quality. Buick ensures comfort and safety. It gets great gas mileage too! The drive is comfortable and I can still fit two weeks of groceries in the cargo area. I just love it!

Turbocharger Issues

With only 15,100 miles, when merging on to the freeway at 60 mph, the check engine light went on, and it seemed to lose a lot of power. Got it to the Buick dealer ASAP, and was told it was turbocharger failure. Service advisor told me it was a "known issue" with the Encore. I had it back one week, and the EXACT SAME THING happened. They "rebuilt" the turbocharger once already - hope they do a better job this time!

Love the Apple Car play and safety features. This car eats up freeway miles with lots of comfort but not good gas mileage and not enough power. Had to replace air compressor at 40,000 miles NOT under warranty. Turbo Charger went out at 50,000. Check engine light is on now with slow loss of EVAP system. Not happy with GM warranty nor the dealerships. My first and last American car.
