Buick Encore 
As the best-selling Buick vehicle in North America, the Encore sub-compact crossover is now facing stiff competition. Only one engine is available, namely a turbocharged 1.4-litre four-cylinder that produces 138 horsepower and 148 pound-feet of torque. Front-wheel drive is standard, while all-wheel drive is optional. The days of the Encore may be numbered, though, because Buick recently bolstered its lineup with the slightly larger and more modern Encore GX.
