Overview

After it was released in 2013 to capture growing demand for crossover SUVs, the Buick Encore received a substantial refresh in 2017. Therefore, for 2019, the model receives only minor updates.
Buick touts the Encore as a stylish urban runabout with its sleek exterior design. Twin-L LED accents on the headlights and taillights and tasteful accents of chrome signify the crossover’s premium nature. Meanwhile, plastic lower cladding, silver skid-plates, and roof rails give a sense of adventure. For 2019, the color palette has been refreshed: Black Cherry Metallic, Graphite Gray Metallic, and Coastal Blue Metallic are no longer on the menu, but Buick has added new Deep Azure Metallic and Satin Steel Grey Metallic hues.
The only powertrain available for the Encore is a turbocharged 1.4-liter inline 4-cylinder engine that produces 138 horsepower and 148 pound-feet of torque, coupled to a 6-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive (FWD) is standard, but all trims above Base offer all-wheel-drive (AWD) as an option. Beyond that, the Encore is tuned to deliver a drive that is both quiet and efficient, with a fuel-economy rating of 27 miles per gallon city, 33 highway, and 31 combined with FWD or 25, 33, and 30 with AWD.
The Encore’s interior benefited greatly from the 2017 refresh, which smoothed out all of the hard points and brought its interfaces up to date. The aesthetically-pleasing cabin also has plenty of room for five people and cargo. The 60/40 split-folding rear seat and front passenger seat can fold down to create a near-perfect flat surface for truly long items, up to 8 feet long.
All six trims for the Encore return for 2019: Base, Preferred, Sport Touring, Preferred II, Essence, and Premium. Base kicks things off with 18-inch alloy wheels, laminated glass, LED daytime running lights, keyless access and start, an 8-inch infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, a power driver’s seat, USB ports, a 6-speaker audio system, 4G LTE connectivity, and Sirius XM radio. Preferred adds a rear cargo cover and color-keyed floor mats, but it unlocks a few utility packages. Next, Sport Touring gets unique 18-inch wheels, remote start, fog lights, and a unique spoiler.
On the higher end of the lineup, the Preferred II trim tacks on premium 18-inch wheels, dual-zone automatic climate control, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, and a 120-volt power outlet. Essence throws in leather upholstery, a power passenger seat, a heated steering wheel, memory settings for the driver’s seat, and LED headlights. Finally, Premium includes Bose premium audio.
Safety-wise, the Enclave benefits from a standard reversing camera with moving guidance lines. Stepping up the trim ladder nets you more options. The Safety Package, available on Sport Touring, includes blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert. The Preferred II trim and above include the Safety Package. Premium gets rain-sensing wipers, front and rear parking sensors, forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning, and a cabin air ionizer. New for 2019, the Safety Package II makes those features available on Premium II.

I was completely shocked by how roomy the driver seat was. Im 65 300# and have more than enough leg room, the driver seat is very comfortable. I love the android auto/ Bluetooth to play music from my phone., plus I can do everything hands free by saying Hey Google. Surprisingly great gas mileage for an AWD.

Love this car so much. Had a 2015 and upgraded to a 2019. Just the right size for me. Love the interior, heated steering wheel is awesome, and I couldnt be without the sunroof. Runs great also. Not so thrilled with the Auto Stop feature, but I can live with it.

I love this car. Was super low on miles which was huge plus but so great on gas also. This model isnt stacked with extras but more than enough for what I need. Love the apple play! It is small inside but with 2nd row able to fold flat and also the front passenger seat can do the same it give me plenty of room for any antique store finds I may pick up. Having driven the Ford escape I would say similar to that but might be a tad bit smaller.

Is the 2019 Buick Encore reliable?
Owners rate it 4.9/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction. In owner feedback, the Encore is described as reliable in the sense that drivers appreciate its practical, trouble-free feel, value, and the confidence it inspires for everyday use. For used buyers, that kind of ownership experience suggests lower long-term risk if you choose a well-maintained example.
What should I look for when buying a used 2019 Buick Encore?
At 67.6% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
You should run a vehicle history report before you commit, then prioritize a pre-purchase inspection on any listing that looks especially appealing on price. Focus on condition details that matter most in a used SUV: signs of prior bodywork, uneven wear, and whether the features and equipment work the way you expect.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2019 Buick Encore?
This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully and still find worthwhile options.
- Deal availability: 31.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 1,355 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 10.49% compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 67.6% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $12,702, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
What is the 2019 Buick Encore's resale value?
The current average of $12,702 sits slightly below last year's $14,191.
That softer pricing can help you buy at a more favorable point, but it also means future resale gains may be more limited if the market stays soft. If you plan to sell later, your best protection is choosing a clean, well-kept example and avoiding vehicles with accident history or visible wear. Strong condition and consistent demand matter more when the market is already trending lower.
Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.9/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.
Should I buy a 2019 Buick Encore or consider a different year?
If you're weighing the 2019 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:
Choose the 2019 if:
- 31.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- At 67.6% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 10.49% compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 4.9/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
The bottom line: If you want the strongest mix of value, owner satisfaction, and current market softness, the 2019 is the primary year to focus on. If you’re especially price-sensitive, you can also compare nearby years to see whether a lower-priced alternative gives you similar equipment and condition for less money.
