Overview

The Buick of years past was known for making big, soft, grandparent vehicles with little in the way of driving personality. That’s all changed over the years, and despite the fact that the brand only sells crossovers, there’s more character and modern tech than ever before. That’s sort of true for Buick’s smallest vehicle, the Encore, which is a tiny crossover that’s available with many of the upscale features that buyers expect from General Motors’ mid-level brand.
While it shares much of its underpinnings with the Chevrolet Trax, the Buick Encore does a solid job at hiding its pedestrian origins under layers of Buick sound insulation and decent interior materials. The Encore’s price sets it in line with the mainstream competition from brands such as Hyundai, Toyota, and Honda, instead of premium brands that Buick’s other vehicles play against. Recently, the automaker added a larger Encore GX model to its lineup, but it’s a completely separate model that is both larger and more expensive.
With a trimming down of the Encore lineup for 2021, Buick did away with the more powerful 153-horsepower 1.4-liter engine that provided juice for the previous model. Every 2021 Encore is now powered by a turbocharged 1.4-liter engine that produces 138 hp and 148 pound-feet of torque. It’s mated to a six-speed automatic gearbox and either front-wheel drive (FWD) or all-wheel drive (AWD), but only the Preferred trim is available with the AWD option.
Inside, the Encore gets an 8-inch touchscreen that runs Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. A 4G LTE WiFi hotspot is also standard, and navigation with traffic and weather data is optional. The Encore gets six speakers, SiriusXM radio, Bluetooth, and USB inputs as standard kit, while a Bose seven-speaker stereo is optional.
The 2021 Buick Encore scored mixed results in crash tests and most advanced safety features are held back as add-cost optional features. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) scored the Encore “Good” in most crash test categories, with the exception of small overlap front passenger side crashworthiness, where it earned an “Acceptable” score. Available safety tech includes blind-spot monitors, rear cross-traffic alerts, front and rear parking assist, forward collision alerts, and lane departure warnings.
The 2021 Buick Encore is on sale now with a starting price that lands at $24,195 after a $995 destination charge. Stepping up to the Preferred trim pushes the price to $25,595, and adding all-wheel drive changes the MSRP to $26,215.

Joan F
Reviewed a 2021 Buick Encore on Aug 8, 2023
I haven’t had the vehicle very long so I can’t really give a completely fair review. I like the way it drives. It has a lot of convenient features like phone controls on the steering wheel. There are many features that I haven’t had time to evaluate. This is a pre-owned vehicle with low mileage. I purchased the extended warranty as advised by the dealership. I am hoping to become more familiar with it as I drive it.

How much does the 2021 Buick Encore cost?
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Current Average Price | $15,107 |
| Year-Round Low | $15,080 |
| Year-Round High | $17,106 |
| Average Price a Year Ago | $16,908 |
| Change vs. Last Year | −10.65% |
Prices have softened 10.65% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.
There are 626 listings available, which gives you a solid amount of inventory to compare.
Is the 2021 Buick Encore a good car?
Yes — the 5/5 user rating suggests strong owner satisfaction for this model year.
With 31.0% of listings marked as good or great deals, you have some room to shop selectively and still find attractive pricing.
Is the 2021 Buick Encore reliable?
Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.
For used buyers, that kind of feedback can reduce ownership uncertainty, but you should still focus on maintenance history and overall condition before you commit.
What should I look for when buying a used 2021 Buick Encore?
At 74.4% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
You should run a vehicle history report on any promising listing and prioritize cars with clean records. A pre-purchase inspection can help you spot bodywork, wear, or repair issues that may not be obvious in photos. Pay close attention to condition consistency, especially if the price looks unusually strong.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2021 Buick Encore?
This looks like a moderate market where selective buyers can still find value if they shop carefully.
- Deal availability: 31.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 626 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 10.65% compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 74.4% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $15,080, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
What is the 2021 Buick Encore's resale value?
The current average of $15,107 sits slightly below last year's $16,908.
That softer pricing can help you buy at a more favorable entry point, but it also means future resale gains may be limited if the market stays under pressure. If you plan to sell later, buying near the low end of the range can help protect your position. Strong condition and a clean history matter more when the market is already trending down.
Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.
Should I buy a 2021 Buick Encore or consider a different year?
If you're weighing the 2021 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:
Choose the 2021 if:
- 31.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- At 74.4% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 10.65% compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
The bottom line: If you want the strongest mix of current pricing, inventory, and owner satisfaction, the 2021 is the primary year to focus on. If you're especially price-sensitive, you may still want to compare nearby years to see whether a lower asking price outweighs the 2021's current market advantages.
