2014 Buick Encore

About 2014 Buick Encore The Buick Encore returns for 2014 with new safety features that complement the luxury amenities, refinement and signature Buick style for this unique crossover. The new features include Rear Cross Traffic Alert and Side Blind Zone Alert. Encore is maneuverable, versatile and efficient, offering a uniquely sized package that's unmatched in the luxury segment. With room for five and up to 48.4 cubic feet of storage space when the rear seats are folded, it delivers substantial cargo capacity along with a confident, higher driving position and available all-wheel drive. Buick's exclusive QuietTuning is standard and includes active noise cancellation technology. Additional standard features include 10 airbags, StabiliTrak stability enhancement and a 138-horsepower Ecotec 1.4L turbo four-cylinder/six-speed automatic powertrain, along with technologies such as Buick's voice-activated IntelliLink. It uses Bluetooth or a USB to connect the driver's smartphone to a 7-inch, high-resolution, full-color display radio. The 2014 Encore is offered in front-wheel and available all-wheel-drive configurations in four trim levels: Encore (1SB), Encore Convenience (1SD), Encore Leather (1SL) and Encore Premium (1SN). Encore's sculpted styling identifies it as a contemporary Buick. Signature cues include a waterfall grille, chrome accents and surrounds, portholes on the hood and painted lower panels. Standard body-color door handles with chrome strips and a styled, stainless steel exhaust tip add to the premium look. Blue-accented halogen composite projector-beam headlamps and detailed taillamps further enhance the Encore exterior; and 18-inch, five-spoke painted aluminum wheels are standard. Seven-spoke chromed aluminum wheels are available.
