INTRODUCTION
SIZED TO FIT YOUR LIFE.

BUICK ENCORE EXTERIOR DESIGN
Sure, it has Buick signature design cues like a waterfall grille, ice-blue-accented projector-beam headlamps and chrome portholes —
yet that’s where the similarity ends. From sketch to sheet metal, Encore carves out its own blend of style and confidence in a decidedly
efficient package. This is a new style of luxury designed to be ready to go on a moment’s notice and sized to fit almost anywhere. Enjoy.
THE FAMILY RESEMBLANCE
IS QUITE STRIKING.

IT’S AMAZING WHAT
YOU CAN DO WHEN ALL
WHEELS COLLABORATE.
Encore’s available All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system doesn’t ask you to push buttons. It constantly monitors traction, and whenever it detects slip,
AWD is automatically activated. Power is delivered to the front or rear wheels with the best grip. This is the perfect way to put its efficient
ECOTEC 1.4L turbocharged engine to work. To help maneuver city streets and winding country roads, you’ll also find Encore’s handling
is beyond nimble. Variable-effort electronic power steering produces a 36.7-foot turning diameter so you can make quick, precise moves.
Its 100.6-inch wheelbase and broad 60.6-inch stance also provide a confident driving feel, while a solid structure enables a refined, quiet ride.

Encore’s available voice-activated Navigation System1guides you to over 6 million miles of North American roads. And to help avoid traffic
congestion, optional NavTraffic2(with 3-month trial of SiriusXM) incorporates real-time traffic and road conditions into your NAV screen, directing
you toward the most efficient route. Now, SiriusXM offers Travel Link3to give you the latest fuel prices, weather and movie listings wherever you
go. Encore also helps improve your view of the road. With available Rainsense technology, your wipers are automatically activated by the first
drops of rain and then continually adjust their speed to make sure your view is clear. All the while, available front and rear park assist, along
with the standard rearview camera, allow you to turn tight “can I make it?” spaces into the perfect parking spot.

TECHNOLOGY

BUICK ENCORE TECHNOLOGY
Encore’s QuietTuning technology reduces, blocks and absorbs noises —helping to keep the quiet in and the noise out. A laminated
windshield, triple door seals, tight body panel tolerances and other acoustical innovations make it all possible. But we didn’t stop
there. In the first use of Bose®Active Noise Cancellation in the Buick lineup, unwanted sounds fade into the background. It’s a technology
also found in today’s noise-cancelling headphones.This way you can hear yourself think, chat and, of course, enjoy the available Bose
premium seven-speaker audio system with sound-expanding amplification that fills Encore with musical enjoyment.

SOUNDS LIKE.
