What's New for the 2019 Buick Encore?

The Buick Encore is in its sixth model year. The 2019 model is mostly unchanged from the 2018, sporting the same engine, safety features, and specifications. The 2019 lineup has reshuffled the available trims to provide a simplified range of options, but beyond that, most specs line up with the 2018 model. The Premium and Preferred II trim levels were cut, with their features being made available through the other model trims.

The old saying goes: If it isn't broke, you shouldn't fix it. And the Buick Encore is one of the best compact SUVs on the market right now. It combines a high-quality interior with a sleek, aesthetically pleasing exterior. A great deal of standard features are included. 

2019 Encore Trims & Features

The standard Encore trim comes with the basic features included with all Encore models. Model-wide features include: 

●    Keyless opening and starting
●    An enhanced digital driver information center
●    A 4-cylinder turbo engine
●    LED-accented tail lights
●    Compact and comfortable interior


The base trim is the best for people who want a sturdy, utilitarian vehicle that can get them where they need to go. The Preferred trim upgrades the technological capabilities by adding Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. It also has a keyless opening feature and push-button start capabilities. 

The Sport Touring trim is optimized for people who want to go on off-roading adventures and deep into nature. In addition to all of the standard features, the Sport Touring trim comes with: 

●    18-inch aluminum alloy wheels
●    An integrated rear sport spoiler
●    A remote vehicle starting system
●    Effective fog lamps


The highest-level trim is the Encore Essence, which brings you all the versatility and environmental friendliness of the Encore with updated luxuriousness. The leather-appointed seating and leather-wrapped steering wheel will make you feel like you're sitting on a throne. The Essence also comes with a rear cross traffic alert system that the other trims lack. For people in cold climates, the heated front seats and heated steering wheel are a luxury you might not want to pass up.

What is Under the Hood of the 2019 Encore?

All 2019 Buick Encore trims come with a 1.4L 4-cylinder turbo engine with 138 horsepower. While the engine doesn't pack the punch of more powerful sports cars, the easy handling and available all-wheel drive capabilities make the vehicle a safe and comfortable car to drive. Fuel efficiency is one of the biggest selling features, with an estimated 27 MPG in the city and 33 MPG on the highway.

The engine's 138 horsepower capabilities offers up to 148 lb-ft of torque, ensuring that your ride is impressively responsive and even sporty. As compact cars go, you'll have a hard time finding a more efficient and responsive engine.

Drivers who want better traction should pick a trim with intelligent all-wheel drive capabilities. The system gives constant monitoring to all vehicle wheels and provides power transfers when necessary. A tight turning radius and streamlined design help drivers navigate winding roads. 

How Will the Encore Keep my Family Safe?

The compact Encore design features a suite of safety technologies along with 10 standardized airbags. Safety features include:

●    Side mirror notifications of vehicles in your blind spot
●    Forward Collision Alert system to alert you of potential crashes and too-close following distances
●    Lane Departure Warning to notify you if you drift from the lane without an activated turn signal
●    Onstar safety and security features
●    Rear cross traffic alert to help when backing up
●    Backup camera with rear parking assistance
