With the rear seats up, the Encore delivers 19 cubic feet of cargo space, which for comparison is less than a Toyota Prius.


Passengers will find themselves shoulder to shoulder in many cases, and all but the smallest rear-facing car seats are off-limits for the Encore. It has limited leg and headroom, especially with the optional moonroof. The second row will be a challenging fit for most adults. The Encore serves its purpose well: it’s a small runabout capable enough to move a couple of people (maybe four, but only just) and a minimal amount of cargo around.Įven without a central armrest, the front seats manage to be supportive and comfortable. There are no secrets about the size of the Encore, and buyers in the market for a crossover of this size are not likely looking for a vehicle that can haul seven people and all of their gear. All models get a 6-speed automatic transmission.

It returns nearly unchanged for the 2019 model year, with more competition than ever. 18" x 7.The 2019 Buick Encore carves a fair amount of crossover space from a very small footprint, but it does so at a premium.I highly recommend this Encore to anyone seeking a quality subcompact SUV. It is definitely worth the slightly higher price. This Buick Encore is quiet and smooth and it feels much more like a luxury SUV. There were so many other SUV’s in this class that did not have the technology that this vehicle possesses. The infotainment system is very user friendly. I never thought that I would own a Buick, but I am truly glad that I made the choice to purchase the Encore. I found the engine to have more than ample power both in the city and on the highway. I … read the “CON” of the vehicle was lack of power of the standard engine. I previously owned a Jeep Renegade and a Kia Soul, but neither of these two vehicles had the smooth ride and luxury feel of the interior that the Buick Encore possesses.

The Encore is very nimble and handles well in most driving situations. This vehicle became a standout after I finished my research of the vehicles in this class. I am extremely impressed with the 2019 Buick Encore.
