2015 Buick Encore Premium

The Encore is Buick's smallest SUV, a subcompact crossover that's easy to park and surprisingly upscale inside. It rides smoothly and quietly, with an available all-wheel-drive system that reacts before you notice the slip. Inside, you get a nicely trimmed cabin with supportive leather seats and a rearview camera that helps with the blind spot. Cargo space is tight behind the rear seats, but folding them down opens room for bikes or golf clubs. A larger touchscreen and standard heated front seats set the Premium apart from the Leather trim below it. The 1.4L I4 sends 138 horsepower through a six-speed automatic to the front wheels, returning 28 mpg combined. This trim's standard rearview camera and available navigation make the tight parking spots easier to handle.
