Overview

The Buick Encore is a subcompact crossover much like the Honda HR-V, Hyundai Kona, and Mazda CX-3. For 2020, it receives a few light updates.
Previously, the Encore had a premium engine option, but Buick eliminated it for 2020. The only engine available is a turbocharged 1.4-liter inline 4-cylinder engine, making 138 horsepower and 148 pound-feet of torque. A 6-speed automatic transmission powers either the front or all four wheels. The Encore’s fuel economy is rated at 25 mpg city, 30 highway and 27 combined with front-wheel drive (FWD) or 24/29/26 with all-wheel drive (AWD).
The Encore spreads its options across four trims: 1SV, Preferred, Sport Touring, and Essence. The base 1SV includes 18-inch alloy wheels, a laminated windshield, partial-LED taillights, keyless access and start, an 8-inch infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Siri EyesFree, satellite radio, and a 6-speaker audio system. The other trims add upgrades like fog lights, remote start, leather upholstery, heated seats, and a heated steering wheel.
As far as safety, the Encore’s only standard technology includes a reversing camera. You’ll need to ascend the trim and options ladder to get forward-collision warning, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and front and rear parking sensors. The Encore received decent scores in its Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) and a 5-star overall rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
The Encore boasts handsome styling and a competitive set of features.

Great little SUV. Very economical to operate. Very peppy. Easy to park. Has numerous options. This is my second Encore. My next SUV will be another Encore.

Car features are great, except there’s no car starter for this vehicle, and there are no heated seats, which are great to have in the winter time. I really love my encore. It was a very good value with low mileage. But a car starter and heated seats are very necessary. It rides, very smooth, a slight step down from a Cadillac.

The Encore that we tried out was loaded with options and had some nice features. The car is missing a power hatch. I thought,why not put that on and then it would be loaded with options. I cannot compare it with a different model since that is the only car we tried. As far as value, I think it could be better.

How much does the 2020 Buick Encore cost?
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Current Average Price | $13,301 |

| Average Price a Year Ago | $15,018 |

Prices have softened 11.43% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.
There are 1,054 listings available, which gives you a solid pool to compare prices and conditions.
Is the 2020 Buick Encore a good car?
Yes — the 4.67/5 user rating suggests strong owner satisfaction for this model year. That kind of feedback can be a useful sign that the vehicle is meeting expectations in everyday use. With 33.6% of listings marked as good or great deals, you have a meaningful chance to find a competitively priced example.
Is the 2020 Buick Encore reliable?
Owners rate it 4.67/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.
For used buyers, the main ownership risk is less about the rating itself and more about how well a specific vehicle has been maintained, so service records and condition matter a lot.
What should I look for when buying a used 2020 Buick Encore?
At 68.2% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
You should start with a vehicle history report and then prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if the price looks unusually attractive. Focus on body condition, signs of prior repair, and whether wear matches the mileage and asking price.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2020 Buick Encore?
This looks like a moderate market, so you can shop selectively without feeling rushed.
- Deal availability: 33.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 1,054 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 11.43% compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 68.2% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $13,301, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
What is the 2020 Buick Encore's resale value?
The current average of $13,301 sits slightly below last year's $15,018.
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 under pressure. If you plan to sell later, condition and mileage will matter even more because buyers tend to reward cleaner, better-kept examples.
Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.67/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.
Should I buy a 2020 Buick Encore or consider a different year?
If you're weighing the 2020 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:
Choose the 2020 if:
- 33.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- At 68.2% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 11.43% compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 4.67/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
The bottom line: If you want the strongest mix of current pricing and buyer confidence, the 2020 is a sensible place to focus. If you're especially price-sensitive, compare it against nearby years and prioritize the cleanest, best-documented example rather than chasing the lowest sticker price.
