Buick Encore Preferred II

Exterior & Design

The Encore’s exterior styling is modern and sleek, with sculpted character lines, a bold winged Buick grille, and standard 18-inch alloy wheels that give it an upscale yet athletic presence. Body-color mirrors and bumpers, along with daytime running lights and a roof-mounted rear spoiler, add to its refined look.

Powertrain & Efficiency

Under the hood is Buick’s 1.4-liter turbocharged ECOTEC four-cylinder engine paired with a smooth 6-speed automatic transmission. It produces around 138 horsepower and 148 lb-ft of torque, delivering a good balance of performance and fuel economy — typically around 25–33 mpg on the highway with front-wheel drive.

Interior Comfort & Features

Inside, the Preferred II offers a comfortable and well-appointed cabin with cloth and leatherette trim, and supportive seating for five. Front passengers enjoy a 6-way power driver’s seat and thoughtful touches like an auto-dimming rearview mirror, leather-wrapped steering wheel with mounted controls, and roomy cargo space with a 60/40 split rear seat.

Technology & Connectivity

The Encore’s infotainment system includes Buick IntelliLink with an 8-inch color touchscreen, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, Bluetooth connectivity, and USB ports. A rear-view camera, Bluetooth hands-free calling, cruise control, and keyless entry enhance everyday convenience.

Safety & Driver Aids

Safety features on the Preferred II include multiple airbags, ABS brakes and traction control, besides a 10-airbag system.
