The Encore subcompact crossover faces an uncertain future as General Motors gifts Buick with a next-generation model called Encore GX that’s much more modern and a bit roomier (about 140 litres of extra cargo room). That being said, the Encore as we know it remains by far Buick’s best-selling product. It stands out from the competition with a user-friendly, eight-inch touchscreen and a built-in Wi-Fi hotspot. Meanwhile, the turbocharged 1.4-litre four-cylinder engine puts out 138 horsepower.
Pros
- Very quiet cabin
Cons
- Lacklustre performance
