Vehicle Description
2018 Buick Encore Preferred Sport Utility 4DThe 2018 Buick Encore Preferred Sport Utility 4D is a compact SUV that combines comfortable driving, modern technology, fuel efficiency, and practical versatility. Its compact dimensions make it suitable for city driving, commuting, and everyday errands, while its refined interior provides a comfortable environment for both drivers and passengers. With seating for up to five people, four doors, and flexible cargo space, the Encore Preferred is a practical option for individuals and small families seeking an easy-to-manage SUV.
Engine Performance and Fuel EconomyThe 2018 Buick Encore Preferred is powered by a 1.4-liter ECOTEC turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine producing 138 horsepower at 4,900 rpm and 148 lb-ft of torque at 1,850 rpm. It is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission with overdrive and shift control, providing smooth performance for everyday driving. Its front-wheel-drive configuration supports predictable handling and efficient operation.
The turbocharged engine provides sufficient power for commuting, navigating city streets, and maintaining comfortable highway speeds. Although it is not designed for high-performance driving, its combination of low-speed torque and compact proportions makes it suitable for ordinary transportation needs.
Fuel economy is another advantage. Front-wheel-drive models are rated at approximately 27 mpg in the city and 33 mpg on the highway. These estimates make the Encore appealing to drivers who want SUV practicality without the fuel consumption of a larger vehicle. Actual mileage will depend on traffic, driving habits, maintenance, and road conditions.
Interior Comfort and TechnologyOne of the Encore's strongest qualities is its quiet cabin. Buick's QuietTuning technology and active noise cancellation help reduce road, wind, and tire noise, creating a more relaxing experience during highway travel. The elevated seating position provides a good view of surrounding traffic, while supportive front seats and adjustable driver seating help improve comfort.
The interior accommodates up to five passengers, with a practical layout designed for daily use. Standard convenience features include air conditioning, cruise control, keyless entry, keyless start, power windows, power door locks, power steering, and an adjustable steering wheel. Driver lumbar support and a power-adjustable driver's seat add comfort where equipped.
The seven-inch touchscreen infotainment system supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, allowing compatible smartphones to connect for navigation, music, calls, and messages. Bluetooth connectivity, AM/FM audio, auxiliary input, MP3 playback, and satellite radio capability provide entertainment options. A 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot is also available through OnStar services, subject to subscription and coverage.
Cargo Space and Exterior FeaturesDespite its small footprint, the 2018 Buick Encore Preferred offers useful cargo flexibility. The rear seats feature a 60/40 split-folding design, allowing owners to accommodate passengers and larger items as needed. With the rear seats folded, cargo capacity expands to approximately 48.3 cubic feet, making room for luggage, shopping bags, and other bulky belongings.
Its compact dimensions and 100.6-inch wheelbase make the Encore easy to maneuver through narrow streets and tight parking spaces. Exterior features include heated mirrors, integrated turn signals, deep-tinted windows, intermittent windshield wipers, and a rear-window defogger, depending on equipment configuration.
Safety and Driver AssistanceThe 2018 Buick Encore received a five-star overall safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), according to the rating provided for this vehicle. Safety equipment includes frontal airbags, a driver's knee airbag, front and rear side-body airbags, side-curtain airbags, and a pa |
