Used 2022 Buick Encore for Sale near North Java, NY

Many automakers have trimmed their model lines by removing slower-selling cars and adding more in-demand SUVs. Buick is no exception, though its lineup remains quite small, with just a handful of models. The smallest vehicle in that small lineup is the Buick Encore subcompact crossover. It hasn’t received many updates for 2022, as Buick cut the offering down to one trim level, but the remaining trim gets a more powerful engine and a slight improvement in interior storage options. Though it’s based on the Chevrolet Trax, Buick gave the Encore a massage in key areas to bump its comfort and style factors. The sole Encore Preferred trim is powered by a turbocharged 1.4-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 155 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque. It’s paired with a six-speed automatic transmission, and buyers can upgrade from the standard front-wheel drive (FWD) to all-wheel drive (AWD). Buick offers several options packages to upgrade the Encore, which add key safety and interior features. The Safety Package includes blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert, while the Safety Package II brings automatic wipers, front/rear parking assist, forward-collision warning, and lane-departure warning. Those features can also be added a la carte as well, with varying price tags for each. While a wide variety of upgrades are available, Buick charges for most niceties, including paint colors. If you want an Encore in any other color than white, it will cost between $495 and $1,095 to change hues. Both interior colors are included in the price, however, as buyers can choose between black cloth with leatherette or shale cloth with leatherette upholstery. The Encore gets standard interior features that include a 4G LTE WiFi hotspot, power driver’s seat adjustments, six speakers, a 7-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Bluetooth, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, SiriusXM satellite radio, and more. Buick is known for its quiet interiors, and to that end, the Encore gets the brand’s QuietTuning noise-isolating trickery. The 2022 Buick Encore is on sale now and can be configured on Buick’s website. The Preferred FWD trim starts at $25,795, which includes a $1,195 destination charge. AWD moves that price to $26,415.
