Buick Encore
While the Buick Encore shares its platform with the Chevrolet Trax, the Buick version, due to its heritage, is more luxurious with, amongst other things, more refined sound insulation thanks to Active Noise Cancellation technology from Bose®. Power comes from a turbocharged 1.4L four- cylinder developing 138 horsepower and 148 lbs.-ft. of torque coupled to a six-speed automatic transmission. It is the only small luxury SUV in its segment.
