2015 Buick Encore review

1. Ready for snow 

If you are used to seeing snow, ice, and cold temperatures in your region, you’ll be thrilled by what the 2015 Buick Encore has to offer. Premium features include an available heated steering wheel and heated front seats, as well as available remote start when activated.

All 2015 Encores are available with all-wheel drive and plenty of driver aids, ensuring you are confident when tackling whatever the winter roads may throw your way.  

2. Lux accommodations 

You should get ready for the Buick Encore to make you feel like you bought a very luxurious ride. The Encore comes well-equipped at its entry level, including equipment such as 18-inch alloy wheels, air-conditioning, a rearview camera, and cruise control. Moving to higher trims on the Encore unlocks high-end perks including leather upholstery, dual-zone automatic climate control, heated front seats, and rain-sensing wipers. You will be hard-pressed to feel like you are missing key features with those available on the 2015 Buick Encore. 

3. A breeze to park  

The 2015 Buick Encore’s compact footprint is an asset. If you live in an urban area or frequently have to navigate congested roads, the Buick Encore is a breeze when it comes to fitting into small gaps in traffic or making tight U-turns. Parking is another area where the short wheelbase is a benefit, further aided by the availability of front and rear parking sensors. If you expect an SUV to be a burden in tight environments, the Encore is a pleasant surprise. 

4. Smart technology 

You are in for a treat when it comes to the available technology found on the 2015 Buick Encore. Buick’s IntelliLink^® interface includes a seven-inch touchscreen, enabling you to quickly find what you need from the Encore’s infotainment system. Available driver aids include an auto-dimming rearview mirror, front and rear parking sensors, a forward-collision warning system, a lane-departure warning system, and a blind-spot monitoring system with rear cross-traffic alert. You’ll feel supported and impressed by the Buick Encore’s available suite of technology.  

5. Savings at the pump 

If you want an SUV but still want to remain green-conscious, the 2015 Buick Encore is an excellent choice. The Encore comes equipped with a 1.4L four-cylinder engine producing 138 horsepower and 148 lb-ft of torque. The Encore delivers up to an EPA-estimated 28 mpg combined with front-wheel drive, and 26 mpg combined when equipped with all-wheel drive.

This means you can go further between fill-ups, even though you're driving an SUV.
