Buick Encore 
Yet another new Buick model! As a compact luxury SUV, the Encore is vying for a spot in this popular category.

The Encore comes factory standard with a turbocharged 1.4L 4-cylinder Ecotec engine and a 6-speed automatic transmission. According to the manufacturer, it should be available in the spring of 2013.
