Compact SUVs, among the most popular vehicles these days, offer versatility, style and good fuel economy. You'll find all of those traits in our current test drive vehicle, the 2021 Buick Encore.
The Encore features a standard 1.4-liter four-cylinder engine that makes 138 horsepower and is linked to a six-speed automatic transmission. The standard drivetrain is front-wheel drive, while all-wheel drive is optional.
Fuel economy for the FWD model is rated at 26 mpg city, 30 highway, while the AWD model is rated at 24 and 29.
With the rear seat folded down, cargo capacity is 48.4 cubic feet.
The Encore has two trim levels: Base and Preferred.
The Encore won't blow you away when it comes to driving dynamics, but it does offer a solid, mostly smooth ride. Acceleration is adequate, as are braking and handling.
The Encore starts at around $24,000 and ranges to about $27,000.
If you're in the market for a small SUV, the Encore is certainly worth a look.
Great review. Thinking I might take it for a test drive.
