The Buick Encore is a prominent name in the segment of luxury small crossover. It is the oldest model in its own brand lineup, but is still going strong with its 2022 model year edition hitting the dealerships all over the world.
Crossing its paths with the Hyundai Venue as well as the Chevy Trax, the 2022 model year edition of the Encore series has surpassed Buick’s own lineup of crossovers in terms of popularity, because of its attractive demeanor and well-equipped cabins, boastfully announced the Rexburg Buick dealer.
What Join as New for the Year 2022?
For the year 2022, Buick has prepared its flagship model Encore with only two trims, namely, the Base and the Preferred. Both the trims come powered with a 1.4-liter turbo-4 engine which is reputed for producing 155-hp. The said powertrain come standard with a front-wheel drive, while the option to go all-wheel drive is open for an extra price amount.
Compact in its size, the 2022 Buick Encore offers a luxury oriented ride for its users, where except for a few feature upgrades, there is not much difference noted among the two trim levels. Inside of every 2022 Buick Encore model, lays a beautifully crafted cabin, wrapped in rich leather upholstery that is synthetic in its texture for the base models, and are upgraded to Nappa leather on the Preferred trim models.
For infotainment, all the 2022 Buick Encore model uses a 7.0-inch touchscreen display that has crystal clear image quality and is integrated with smartphone functionalities, carried out through both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
Where the 2022 Buick Encore models fall short is in the safety side, that still lacks the standardization of automatic emergency braking, and can be availed only at an extra price badge.
Performance Equipment
The 2022 model year edition of the Buick Encore series sets a sole powertrain for both the trim levels, Base and Preferred. The said powertrain consists of a 1.4-liter turbo-4 engine that can raise a meagre 155-hp, but the engine delivers refined road manners when it works in tune with the 6-speed automatic transmission. This transmission also helps the 2022 Buick Encore models to overcome their curb weight that usually ranges from 3,195 pound with the front-drive guises to 3,314 pound in the all-wheel drive models. With this powertrain working under its hood, the 2022 Buick Encore models takes nine-seconds to pick up the speed of 0 to 60 mph.
Our test drive with the 2022 Buick Encore at the Rexburg Buick dealership brought us back with an increased level of interest in this luxury compact crossover, after we witnessed the way it deals with the rough road surfaces. Its ride quality made us appreciate the make and manufacturing style of Buick once more, and the brief lineup of the 2022 Encore didn’t confuse us for a bit, and we knew we are driving home one of the most desirable crossovers, that not only looks good in the urban traffic signals but also make us enjoy the long road trips consistently, all through the journey alike.
